Just wondering who all will be going to Compton this year? I'm going, last time I was there was in 05 and had a great time. Looking forward to this June
-
Were planning on driving up on Thursday, and coming back on Sunday. Last year was our first trip and I'm really looking forward to it again.
This time a friend of mine (a fellow Trad-Ganger) is making the trip with us.

-

-
I'll be there early to help set-up. Hopefully, not twice :scared: Really enjoy shooting new bows, talking to the vendors, and shooting against Tony Carpenter from Wisconsin. I just hope I didn't scare him away after the beating he got last year!
-
After the monsoons last year I think my wife may stay home, but the kids and I will make the trip, if the old 4runner holds up :scared: :bigsmyl:

stickbowguy,
My wife isn't much for camping either and besides, we don't have any camping gear. Anyways..........we stay right up the road in Benton Harbor, its only about 8 miles from the club. Last year a lot of the vendors stayed at the same motel that we did. Reservations already made........and the countdown begins.
C'mon June :campfire: :archer:
-
Thats not to far away, what kind of rates do they have?
-
:wavey:
-
Excellent weekend even if it is 13 hrs away. BearQuest IV takes priority this year. See you in 2011.

I may even try and camp (at a hotel) for the weekend with the family!
-
We will be there again.
-
As of right now my son and I are planning on going, we'll be camping for a couple days as well! I can't wait!
-
I'll be there might even bathe in the river again lol
-
I'm going, were staying in Niles which is about 20 minutes away.
-
I'll be there Wed to Sun as always. Hope to have Mel(IRISH)and Brent(HORMOAN)and Sheldon(CONSECON) and Karl (KBAKNIFE) and Angelo(GRANPA) all sharing camp this year! I'm gonna put in a request for no rain this year - dump it on Cloverdale where it always goes! Compton is about fun & sun!!
-
We'll be there in the vendors tent. Hopefully standing up this year. LOL

We will be in the ranks again this year, Not sure what side f the table we will be on though, Still waiting to find out if we are in. We are looking forward to seeing you all again.
Chuck(and family)

I'll be back again in the vendors tent as well. It couldn't possibly come down two years in a row!
-
WHIP! You don't talk that way about Michigan weather. Now say your sorry. LOL But since I have you on the line, make sure I buy a hat from you this time OK?
-
JOE - it is going to be warm and sunny all week - think positive my friend. Don't even mention wind or rain. :readit:
-
Would not miss it for the world. I believe it will be sunny, 72 each day, 50 each night, with a 10mph wind to elimnate any mosquitoes the club can't destroy. My Kalamazoo forecast went so well I might as well keep it up :readit:
-
And there we have it folks! You can take Steve's forecasts to the bank! ;)

Luckily, I live only an hour away. I can just drive over to hit the vendor tents for a couple hours. Anyone know the vendor hours on friday the 18th?
-
I only live an hour away as well but it is still an awesome time camping down there. I will be there all weekend again. Hopefully this year I wont have to come home Friday night for a flood in my basement and kids riding in a canoe down my street!! :scared:
Steve has got it though. Perfect forecast bud!! :thumbsup:
-
OK, take Steve's weather forcast to Joe's bank! If last year repeats itself, we are going to have Irene take you to the bank JOE - the bank vault that is!

Typical Bank Manager he is!! As always behind every good man there is an even better woman! Most of the gals at Comptons last year did not take advantage of the free mud wrap/spa. Gals pay alot of money for that in other parts.
-
Count me in...hope its dryer this year!
Kris
-
I hope so. I'm only a little over an hour away but I've got a little one coming in May so we will have to see if that works out.
I should be there at least on Saturday.
-
I'll be there. Stop by the Compton booth and say hi. Hopefullly I won't have to work as hard this year. It took me a week to recover last time.

Bill

Goin for the first time this year. Any one got any advise????
-
I'll be there! I really enjoy watching the excitement of kids flinging arrows until their hearts are content.
-
I will be there with my son again. We cant wait
-
God willing I will make it this year. Missed it last year. I need to get the dates and get it on the family calendar.
-
I will be there on Sat. hopefully can get away Fri. I have new bow to pickup. That I ordered at Kalamazoo show. Also enjoyed watching my buddy sliding around the 3D course last year in his tennis shoes. Hope not situation this year.
-
I would not miss it, wind, rain, mud could not keep me away. :campfire:
-
My daughter Mattie and I will be their again. She had a great time last year. Playing in the mud with the other kids was her highlight of the trip.

I just started a new job in Traverse City last November. I commute from Muskegon on the weekends and stay there during the week.
I go to Compton’s every year and I’m hoping to go this year. I grew up in the Berrien Springs area and my brother is on the board of the Berrien Springs Sportsmen club.
In the past I go down on Thursday afternoon and stay until Sunday but I’m not sure yet on how long I’m going to stay this year. It’s usually a family event for my brother, me and our boy’s. I also hook up with club members from Muskegon Bowmen and we’ll shoot together. You would be welcome to shoot with us.
Being new to the TC area I don’t know any traditional shooters yet. I want to start stump shooting soon but I’m not sure yet where to go. I’m working second shift now so I can only shoot in the mornings. I’m hoping to meet some retired guys that shoot early.
Maybe we can hook up and shoot sometime before Compton’s
