So, did everyone have a good time? My wife and I have had a blast so far and look forward to more tomorrow (Sunday) before heading home.

I was there Thursday night until Saturday night. I helped the Asbells in thier booth, it was a great time. I enjoy working a booth at Compton (I often help either the Asbells or Ron LaClair) because of all the folks you get to meet.
I love seeing all my buddies, we bid on and won a 10 day hunt in Idaho, so at least some of Shrew haven might be headed west
I was a little disapointed in the vendors this year....too many non archery trinkets. Also, I did not enjoy (or stay for) Fred Eichlers 'infomercial". I love Compton, love the rendevous, but I think they are allowing this event to slip a bit.
Listening to Monty Browning was awesome, that is one fellow I would like to go on a hunt with someday.
There are good folks on the board at Compton, I'm sure they will straighten it out.

My Dad and I were there on Saturday. As Roger mentioned above, I wish there were more archery related vendors. This was the first time attending for the both of us. I bought my Dad one of the new Compton hats and a couple Rendezvous t-shirts...same for myself. I have to admit CTB did a great job on their new hats. They are the same as the TBM hats and they are perfect! The CTB staff member that we talked to was super nice.
I think the Kalamazoo show had more archery vendors.
Still will support CTB, no doubt about that.
