Presque isle field archers memorial day weekend camp/shoot

[CHA-CHING]

Ryan, When I left the Classic with truck, camper, kayaks and all the stuff that the wife takes to Michigan for the summer, plus four more bows and a giant smile on my face,  I got waved over at the truck scales, it looked real bad don't ya know? (almost the truth). I ask the little woman (that's almost the truth also) if we could make it to your shoot? her answer was a couple things needed to be fixed on the camper, naturally I assured her in the affirmative, (another partial truth but I'll try). Cut to the chase, were planning to be there if we can bring our dog ( the one that tripod was checking out in the pic I posted at the Classic.)  Chi-Ching

[Ryano]

Sure Charlie you can bring your dog. We brought one of ours up last year. I sent you a pm.

[DanaM]

Better be high res pics Pappy after all the educating I've done. Sounds like its going to be a good turnout Ryan, if gas prices wern't so damn high
I'd run down for it

[Ryano]

They aint gona get any cheaper Dana ! Come on down!

[CHA-CHING]

Dana the Super Uper Eh!  Look at it this way, ifn ya come down I-75 toward Flint yous could pick up Gary Davis and when ya got to Pontiac we could convoy to the Shoot, wat ya think eh? even better you could draft my truck and save fuel. I'm sure the shoot gona be Great but it would even be better with the Super Uper Eh.... Cha-Ching

Nice agenda, It works for me!! and ain't it great that Pappy will be there!!, wait till he sees my Pappy hat, some people will see me and say Hay he's got a Pappy Hat on. and when they see my wife they will say Hey she's got one of those Pappy hats too!!

[DanaM]

Talked with tyhe boss and it ain't happening. My son will be home on leave the first week of June
and the expense to drive down is just to much. Hope you show Pappy and Beau a big time Ryan

[Pappy]

Wished you could make it Dana ,but I understand,I figure a couple hundred for me to drive up and that is going light,ant camped this light in a long time but I don't want to pull my trailer that far.
I am ready and got most of my stuff packed.We are leaving early ,who knows we may be there
by noon Thursday.Ryan can we get in if we get there early ?
   Pappy

[Ryano]

Just call my cell phone when you get there Pappy. I'll probally be there out in the woods setting targets up. 814-873-2461.

[Ryano]

Wish you could make it Dana. Maybe next year......

[Pappy]

Thanks Ryan,got it over my sun visor,By the way is there showers there ? If not no matter
i will take a W#%%$# bath to get by.I plan on finishing packing tonight and pulling out around 3 in the morning so we will see ya sometime Thursday evening.How is the weather up there,
Temp. Rain  Hawk maybe I can finely get to see you shoot ,all I have ever seen was you sanding or scraping on something. 
   Pappy

[CHA-CHING]

Pappy, The real test for us is the one arrow shoot, I'm betting that I can get thru three targets (I know that I'm being extremely optimistic). maybe Ryan could set stakes for shooters that are over sixty five? I've been looking for arrows made of KRIPTON or titanium, colbot, carbide, high speed @rc 60/61. no luck so far, I guess primitive arrows with self nocks will half to do.  I hope to be there Thursday afternoon, so one of you and Bau's options is to have dinner (Thur night) and breakfast (Fri morning ) with us . I'll start packing as soon as I fire off this post, and remember Rhyno I can help do something also.  the Hawk is Pumped,  GOT STUFF WILL TRADE FOR GAS..... Cha-Ching

[Ryano]

Pappy, no showers at the club but we have regular bathrooms with hot water. I could probally talk my brother into setting up his portable unit off of his pop up camper, or you and Beau can come to my house if you want. Its about a 10 minute ride from the club. The weather is supost to be good nock on wood.....60's and 70's and sunny during the day but kinda chilly at night (40's) so bring a jaket and a warm sleeping bag.
