2019 US Flight Championships is underway!
« on: August 30, 2019, 08:10:09 am »
It is great to see many old friends returning for the US Flight Championships at the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah. Steve Gardner, and Arvin Weaver are here and I hope to see many more shooting natural material flight equipment.  We are expecting a pretty large turnout.

I’m standing by with my best linen and silk in case anyone needs help with a string in a pinch.  It will be a fun and busy week!

  Allen, once again you unselfishly spent your time helping run the shoot and did not have enough time for your own shooting. I want this to be the last year this happens.

Team Buzzards broke 7 records . 15 total metals. My only record was braking my own 239 and change with a 50 pound selfbow in broadhead. Same bow as last year. Built a 68 pound bow shot by Jessie Corbett 288 yds and change. That one surprised me! Had a wonderful time . Steve made some great shots and so did Chuck Loeffler. Ivar blowed the doors off though. Can’t remember the distances but they all where amazing! Seen Jim Remp there . Sorry about the spelling Jim. We had a great visit. Arvin

It sounds like you all had a great time and brought some outstanding bows...thanks for sharing.  Those are definitely some impressive distances!  It would be nice if we could see what a record setting bow looks like...is yours much different than the one I have from MoJam?  What did the others look like?   
Seems like common sense isn't very common any more...

Steve,
This event was pretty busy, but it went surprisingly smooth thanks to the help and support of you and others. I do hope to see you back. Once again, your English longbows really pushed the envelope!  Jordan and I may have to make a couple of these for 2020.

How did Jaap's little horn bow do in the Broadhead shoot?
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Yes he did!  That was a pretty incredible achievement. He broke it by less than a meter, but it was enough.
