The Tennessee Classic:

Exceedingly Special and Most Enjoyable   A communal gathering of those spread far and near that remain firmly dedicated to one another in a bond of friendship and camaraderie and share the treasured traditional passion. An atmosphere of joy engulfs Twin Oaks and infuses all those who wish to absorb its exhilarating aroma.   The gift of friends, reconnecting with old friends and making genuine new friends is a value beyond measure.

The abundant treasures that I have uncovered there far exceed my ability to carry them home. Hopefully, I share most of the riches with those around me.

SlowBowKing, Twin Oaks is a 400ac woodland farm with plenty of trees to hang a hammock.  :thumbsup:
Title: Re: 23rd Tennessee Classic update from Pappy
Post by: CastIron on February 08, 2021, 03:25:59 PM
Lots  of hammock  spots and we will even trim up a spot if need be but there are a number of good hammock spots already trimmed up down by the creek on the up hill side and are pretty well drained even if it rains ;)     not to worry as we usually have plenty of wood chips or straw if happens to get wet under your rig.

That’s twice. It is a vertical in my files, it gets knocked on its side when I post it. Bedtime. It’ll take me an hour and a half to find out how to fix it. Meanwhile, eat a taco and look at it while your head is heeled over anyway.

Tuesday will be heavy, so I’ll tackle it Wednesday.
But go to the Classic. Not something to miss before we go.

TradBowyer, I'm sure you will be able to find someone in bow shop to help you out. But, on Friday through Sunday, the official days of the Classic, the bow shop is open to Selfbow Challenge participants so it will have to be either before the Classic starts(folks will be there a week before) or after 6pm in the evening. Selfbow Challenge participants take priority. Your 14 year old son, and yourself, ought to sign up for the Selfbow Challenge and make a bow with the help of some of the best self bowyers in the country.

Yeah, Kurt. I won't be there this year. I just don't feel comfortable traveling yet. Last year(no Classic) and this year are the first times missing in about 15 years. Believe me, I'll be missing everyone also. I did, however send my raffle table offering to Pappy last week so I will still be there in spirit. I'll have to depend on everyone that does go to post lots of pics so I can at least enjoy it through the pics.  :thumbsup:

Kurt, unfortunately I won't be making it this year. Both Roy from PA and I did send Pappy raffle table offerings to help support Twin Oaks and the Tenn. Classic. Word has it that tents are already starting to pop up.
Take plenty of pics and I'll start another thread for "Tennessee Classic pictures".

We went down today and dropped off a few things at our site, and will be back to stay soon!

Shot through the practice course while there. It was a beautiful afternoon to be out in nature! On #15, my buddy had a really loud hit on the elk. I though he had hit a drainage tube or some kind of pin that holds the sections together. When he pulled out his arrow, we found this...

Yep, he shot his carbon into a glue on field point that had pulled off in the target. What are the odds?!

I’ve never attended this shoot before. I wanted to come early and camp this year, but due to family obligations (aka babysitting) and a local shoot on Sunday, I will only be able to drive down on Saturday. I hope to meet some other TradGang members while I’m there. See ya Saturday.

This is an update from Shawn(Snag)...

"Update form the Tennessee Classic Had about 20-25 selfbow challenge folks signed up and working already. Weather been really nice, couple showers Wed. Today Thursday we have a big band of storms going to come thru at 0700 or so. Maybe showers on Sunday but Friday and Sat will be high 70's. I would say Tues -Wed had the biggest crowd and campers I have ever seen. Bottom was full on left side and right side was getting 50% by Wed at 1400hrs."

Heading out for Day 3.

The course and setup are a level well beyond any of the many wonderful courses of which I have had the pleasure to experience in the past.

The Spring Classic has easily been my preferred event of choice. The Twin Oaks Team may have just set a surreal level of experience beyond imagination.

What an amazing event!  Thanks to Scott (“Friend” on TradGang) for generously  inviting me to stay with him during the event. I was also honored to be among the first to experience his new backyard 3D range, which is like a mini-Disneyland for traditional archers.  This was my first time to visit Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, but the Good Lord willing, it won't be my last.  There sure are a lot of friendly people in that part of the country!

My brother and I had a great time as usual, a little rain thursday morning and then the rest of the weekend was Great. The target setup's were over the top, Pappy and the Twin Oaks members sure know how to make a fun shoot. My brother invited a friend and his family and I believe they are now Hooked also. Got to see SO many friends it was just a Good time, Oh and the food was real good to. Can't wait to get to the next get together for another good time.
