Title: 26 th Tennessee Classic
Post by: Pappy 1 on January 09, 2024, 08:55:00 PM: Come see us if you can. Info go to (TwinOaks Bowhunters.org) or call 615-456-5961 Pappy
Title: Re: 26 th Tennessee Classic
Post by: Friend on January 09, 2024, 09:19:49 PM: By far, the most wonderful event that I personally have attended. An event, that I feel both honored and privileged to partake in.

Will have two fine trad friends, from California, going with me.

Thank you. Pappy and the whole Twin Oaks group.

Post by: McDave on January 10, 2024, 12:33:23 AM: I, and hopefully my friend Greg, will be joining Scott for the Tennessee Classic this year, as I have two times before, thanks to Scott's hospitality. This is an unforgettable event, and well worth traveling halfway across the country to participate in.
Title: Re: 26 th Tennessee Classic
Post by: Pappy 1 on January 10, 2024, 07:25:27 AM: Thanks Scott/McDave, for the kind words much appreciated. I have had several calls from CA. Amazing people come from that far but again much appreciated and we will try and show them a good time.

Post by: Pat B on January 11, 2024, 10:29:34 AM: Damon, you won't regret it if you come. There are quite a few Michiganders that attend. I know it's a long drive for you but if you come a few days early it will be more worth it. Folks start coming in the Friday before. Bring the wife and kids too if you can. This is a very family oriented event. :thumbsup:
I'll be easy to spot in the bow building area, just ask anyone and they will point me out

PM me your address and I'll send you a box of tissues! I am looking at 18 hours of windshield time from the Black Hills to that lovely little Tennessee holler! But after the first six hours I am supposed to pick someone up in Minnesota to help with the driving, so I guess that's a cheat. I hope to make the whole push down in one long go.

You planning on working on a selfbow while you are down there? Great opportunity to have some of the world's best bowyers help you step by step with the process.

Title: Re: 26 th Tennessee Classic
Post by: JW_Halverson on March 02, 2024, 09:19:03 PM: I plan on attending the Classic this year and I have room for a passenger. I will be departing from the Black Hills and if anyone in the area wants to jump in, let me know. If you can pitch in on gas, well so much the better for me, but I am going anyway. Or, if you are on my route, I can pick you up along the way.

My tentative route will be I-90 from Rapid City to Sioux Falls, South to Kansas City on I-29, then onto I-70 to St Louis, then a couple different Interstates through Mt Vernon, Paducah, and on into Clarksville. Google Maps tells me this is my shortest drive time of just over 17 hours. My little Kia doesn't have a ton of room, so if you are gonna do this, pack light. Chances are we can find you someone's camp to bunk up with, saving you from having to pack for an expedition.

Post by: Wudstix on April 26, 2024, 10:48:09 PM: I like the multiple targets in each shooting scenario. We used to do shoot/no shoot scenarios. Some shots were set up, so they should probably not be taken. Two targets per 30 were No Shoot, if you passed the shot you got ten points, if you took the shot you scored negative 5 points. Also, some sets had two targets you chose one. The closer was fewer points. The other was a few yards farther, equally as good a shoot. It was interesting.
