Memorial day weekend, in Fort Worth Texas. Be there or be square.
One or two piece (that look like one piece) longbows or self bows. Wood arrows only. Two days, cumulative score. Very fun, very friendly, awesome course with great Texas friendly folks.
Hope to see you on Mary's Creek.

I would have loved to make that shoot, but I will be shooting in New Mexico that weekend.
-
Going to try to make it Gary :thumbsup:

Here is the flyer
-
I’m pre registered and looking forward to making it this year!
-
I'm looking forward to you getting a buckle Billy Jack! See you there!
-
Looking forward to it, as always. :thumbsup:
-
Going to try to make it Gary :thumbsup:
Are you gonna still go to Chester next weekend?
-
Best competitive shoot in the country. I drive 600 mi one way every year to attend
-
I’ll be there
-
Still hoping and praying this is in the cards.

The Yancey family is looking forward to it.

I don't have a bow that will qualify to compete. Anyone who wants to grab lunch while in town, let me know. I'm a local
-
James I live in Fort Worth as well. I have a bow you could shoot but at [email protected] it may be a tad stiff. But you're welcome to shoot it if you want to come out for it.
-
Gerald, thank you for the kind offer. That bow will be a little stiff at my 30” to 30.5” draw length. I’m not currently worked up to that poundage. Low 50’s is about all I would shoot well at the moment. I live in Richardson. We should definitely plan a time to let some arrows fly together.
-
Anyone who thinks they don’t have a legal bow, think again. The rules are now a lot more liberal than in the past — the same definition of longbow as most other shoots in the us ( a shame, IMO, but there it is). If you don’t have a longbow but want to come, I can loan you one; just let me know in advance. My bows are all 53-55lb and RH.
-
All of my bows are three piece longbows. The entry sheet states no three piece bows. I shoot nothing but wooden arrows and have spines all over the board in completed arrows. I would need to borrow a longbow that pulls 53# or less at 30”.
-
Sorry, my lightest would be over 60 at 30”.
-
The lightest I'm not shooting that weekend is 54@28.
-
Another great year with some tremendous scores turned in. Mine was decent but not even close to the big players. Second day a 245 out of 250 was shot!
A fun course and a great time with old friends and new. Saw Mr. Mike Yancey there as well as some of the archers that represented the USA in the world traditional shoot last year. And judging from how they shot they'll be there again this year! Thanks to all that blessed Fort Worth with many traveling long distances.
-
A couple more. Just for the record this is probably the only target I out shot Billy Jack on. He had a great round Sunday.
-
That was an outstanding longbow championship. I will definitely do the drive again for this one. You shot good Gary, the competition was real and the scoreboard showed it. Great meeting new folks including Mike Yancey and his son. Great bunch of folks there.

We had a blast and if there is any way this wont be our last trip. We camped at Cowtown RV park, just a few minutes away and it was super nice. The shoot and folks were great and I couldn't believe how tough the competition was and was very lucky to even be close. I seldom shoot 3D but with the boys getting older I want to have them in it.
We turned around and went to the Arkansas State Longbow Championship and did well there too. Dylan shooting again from the ladies stake was second in the youth with his Black Widow and I won the men's Selfbow and came in Second in the Men's Traditional Longbow. Again we camped and made a family trip out of it and are having a ball.

It was good to meet some of you guys face to face and thanks for such a great shoot.

We are going to try to make the Southern Plains Championship at McAlester the first weekend in August. We are going back to Africa the 11th so it will be rushing it a bit to do it before we leave. It is a great shoot and you guys should try to come.
-
Sounds like it would be worth the trip. Being fresh back from Sofala I'll still be ready to shoot.
-
I shot in this match about 10 years ago. An injury nocked me out of shooting for a while. I wanted to return this year but my daughter graduated HS and we had a party planned the same weekend. It’s an awesome match at an awesome piece of property. Next year I will be there. Congrats to you and your son!

Were are the restrictions on what bows are allowed or not? I heard they "loosened" the rquirements.

No 3 piece bows. One and two piece. There is a self bow class as well.
