There are campers already set up and relaxing guys! Hopefully I get up there wednesday night for a bit for a cold few and visit before its gets too "busy". Hey Lee if you still want some wood other than osage, bring a stave along and will bring some hackberry and white ash with me to swap you.

Heading up Thursday.  Should be up early afternoon.  Who knows, maybe I'll "work from home" and leave a bit early!

Sounds good Matt. I was out there working last night and Pappy made his way safely here. He is all set up and ready to go! I spoke briefly with him but plan on having a full blown bow building conversation before the weekend is done. The long course is just amazing! Bring old shoes or boots! The grounds are in perfect shape for camping and hanging out.

Chris my camp is all the way to the east of the grounds, purpely colored Dodge Ram and an Eddie Bauer domer. I will have a back quiver with boo shafts and natural feathers, probably a skinned osage or hackberry bow. Im 6' 1" 210# with a short beard. I usually have a tan colored floppy hat on as well. I want to meet as many of the PA guys as I can, just gotta figure out who is who.

I didnt make it back out to the club last night to work, had some donation arrows to finish off for our auction. A buddy of mine said it was getting full fast already! This promises to be the best yet. Weather and bugs are no issue. We walked all over wednesday night trimming, hanging signs and setting targets and I think I swatted one skeeter the whole time.

The best part for me was meeting all you guys from here, second has to be the food. Where else can you camp for a weekend and only need to bring one meal with you? Thats what Im talking about! Of course the 3d ranges were great as well, I loved that long course. Pappy....................you still owe me a round mister! I was soo busy BS'ing I only shot a few hundred arrows all weekend.

Really sorry I missed the Event and a chance to meet a bunch of you folks and put some faces to the names.  We had a death in our extended family and needed to stay in town over the weekend for the memorial and funeral.  Hopefully I can find another Meet to attend before next years Elm Hall event...
