Just wanted to send a line thanking the guys from West Virginia for another great shoot. It was nice to meet new friends and old friend again. We have a Star Trad. shoot so we know the amount of work involved and these guys do it right. Thanks again , Roy

Agree with one of the best shoots around, hope the low turnout didn't discourage the fine fellas who busted their hump to put this on. It was a blast as usual. Thanks to all who put this shoot together.

I'll third the "kudo's" to the people that dedicate their time and effort to make this shoot possible. Very well ran.......and the opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones too.

I wish I could have met a few more of you guys but none the less it was a lot of fun and seemed to be ran very well. It was said at the awards, how seeing the kids running around was a good sign for the future and I agree 100%. This was the first shoot like this, all trad and multiple day event that I took my kid to and he loved it. Plenty for the kids to do here!! Good job guys!!!!

We just got home...another great ATAR in the books. Hats off to Danny and the gang for another great weekend. Got to meet a few Tradgangers, but as usual, the busy shooting schedule and camp life interrupted some of the social gatherings.

hey Dewayne! I need your mailing info please. I have a trophy and some cash for ya.
thanks for the nice compliments ya'll. a big pat on the back for Bobby, Al, Maynard, Keith B, and the Odel family for all they did. Bobby was a "little" concerned about heading this one up but the end result speaks for itself. another great ATAR.
I didn't get to shoot it but heard Lonnie and his crew did an awesome job on the comp range.
hat's off to "EVERYBODY" that pitched in.

It was grrreat all around and a really enjoyable time and shoot. Sure we would love to have seen more folks and more vendors but times are tough. ATAR remains an intituition of family fun and good times and, good Lord willing, it will continue that way for many, many years to come.

Bernie Dunn....YOU ARE THE MAN! I don't think you actually realize what a BIG part you play in ATAR. if it weren't for sir, ATAR would not be the same for the kids. my hat goes off to you.
it is a pleasure to call you my friend and myself, Bobby, Al and the rest of the ATAR crew thank you VERY, VERY much.

Bless your hearts - each and every one. Your thanks are unnecessary but I must admit they are always such a welcome thing to hear, because I can tell they are heartfelt (that's why it always makes me choke up). You all truly are friends to me (even when I can't remeber a name from time to time ).

Guys I'd also like to thank a few people for one of the best trips me and my family have ever had... first off I'd like to thank all of the tbswv gang for all the work they put into this shoot...
Danny, thanks for everything, you work very hard to make a person feel welcomed.
Bernie, The dinos made the shoot for my kids it is an awesome thing you do for the kids, they played with all their dino stuff at the camp ground and the ride back home, it probably saved me a few grey hairs,,,lol
Gene and Sandy, what can I say you guys are awesome, Gene your sunday service was great,for all the guys who missed it try and make it next year you wont be disapointed, alot of shoots my wife and I dont go to for the simple fact of missing church, you dont know what that service really means to some of us, Sandy, you are blessing. There should be a special Sandy award givin out for all you do for the children... with out people like you and Bernie the children would be miserable......
And thanks to trad tech archery and John Wert for the givaways you made several kids very happy this weekend.......
and a thanks go out to all the unseen people that make all this happen...
We had a great time and, we are already looking foward to next year.....
Jason
