  Missed yall to. Had a great time,it is always good to go somewhere and just relax,nothing to do but eat,shoot bows and bull all at the same time. These guys really put on a laid back shoot and
I like that.Got to see some old friends when I have the time to talk to them. Here are some pictures of the weekend. The first was loading my car,I went pretty light,went by myself,can't get them boys around home to go anywhere. I drive up to Bob's a good friend 8 hour drive in lower MI. Eat supper and spend the night ,then on to ElmHall the next morning early. About 2 hours more.
I put 1400 miles on the car over the weekend.

After we got all set up we went to ElmHall, about 3 minutes away to a cool little Restrant/bar for lunch. Great food . Phil picked up a snaky stave at the IBO world from Gary,it turned out nice.

There were people from all over MI.Not to many from other places,but MI. is a big state.
We got in a little shooting Thursday and of course a nice fire,man has to have fire. They said I was the best camp fire guy they had ever been around,I told them I had lots of practice.

The old fellow in the last picture has been building and shooting selfbows for over 70 years,I meet him a couple of years ago there.He is in his mid 90's WOW. His so was at the Classic last year,the poor guy that had his tent and set up collapse. Getting ready for the meal and the novelties,had to get Gary on the horse.Rocky and his grand daughter,he sorta heads up the shoot.
