I have been a fan of GLLI for several years and haven't missed one since 2004. I was able to shoot one course this year. It seemed like attendance was way up. I know my van was lighter heading back to the shop. Thanks to everyone who came by the booth to say "hello." Sorry I keep forgetting your names.

I learned a long time ago you can never have enough arrows on a 3-D course! I only had 23...ended up with 22!
I can rent out some space if needed!

A quick question to all of the other attendees...who was the woodworker who made the bow rack on the raffle table? It was the arrow with six, or so pegs.
I want one!

Paul, those pictures of the kids are wonderful. They are the future of the MLA and the GLLI. Also I thought that there were more young people (teens) there this year, and that's a good sign.
In the future, if you're going to take my picture please warn me so I can suck in my gut... ...

I noticed way more teens and women this year! Hopefully we can capitalize on this and keep them around.
Don't worry about the gut Ron, it's a built in stabilizer!

The kids range was real nice. It was also great to see a lot of loner bows and arrows for the kids. That was something missing at Compton. I know my kids liked trying some of those bows. We are in the process of getting them some better bows right now and they both found bows they liked shooting. I was able to get some feedback from them on style and weight.
The courses and targets were great. There were a lot of nice hunting range shots, some long ones to challenge, and some short ones to build confidence. I know my kids had a great time shooting. I was impressed with the number of targets put out; the yellow ribbon course could have had 50, but I lost track so I am guessing.
The silver arrow was fun. I just wish I would have thought to start gapping on round three before I got to my third arrow.
I can’t think of a better setting for this event. With camping, a lake, and the village there is a lot to do if you are not shooting.
