Thats right , get ready , here it comes .
As most of you know Fred Anderson is putting out a new book ( cant wait to read it) I loved his first one , The Traditional Way and have patiently been waiting for the new one, Toxicated, Treasury of Archery.
Fred will be here at Raptor Archery on May 8th along with Steve Gorr for what is sure to be a great seminar and will be signing books here to those attending that wish to purchase one. We will also be selling on our web site www.raptorstore.com (http://www.raptorstore.com) starting now, those that place orders will have the book signed as well.

I got his first book right after it was released and he was at ETAR...think you were there that year too Ted. Great book...humor, insight, and great story telling.
Will have to order one and get it signed..thanks for the update Ted.
keep em sharp,

Yeah Ron , I was there , man that seems like a lifetime ago.
Yes Fred is a class act with some very good ideas, he has been through a lot in his many years in the archery industry.
-
Someone asked me about the shipping , shipping will be a flat rate of $7.00 for just one book, web site will say $11.00 as we have to average out for multi products orders , I will adjust for one book order to the flat rate of $7.00 USPS priority.

no matter what, what a great name for a trad archery book. :thumbsup:
-
I ordered mine tonight. Sounds like a good read. Wish I was closer, I'd be at there on May 8. Is "toxicated" anything like "pixilated"?

I wish!

Deadline for this is May 8th thats this Saturday, please do it by Friday so that you wont miss out by chance on Saturday , I will be enjoying the show as well. Fred Anderson , Steve Gorr both talking on traditional archery with Larry Hatfield to boot.
-
I sure wish I was closer. A rare opportunity having these three together in one place at one time. A gathering you can tell your grandchildren about. Don't miss it.
-
No way Cliff , if you were here we wouldnt even see those guys , we would be to busy looking at all the old archery stuff.
Just a heads up that if you want to have Fred sign the book on Saturday you need to get your order in by tomorrow.

My daughter and son-in-law, who is my regular hunting pardner, plan to drive over from Portland for the affair and pick up a couple books for friends. The last time I came through Hodd River, you were off hunting bear or something and we missed connecting. I'll try again next time around. We missed you but enjoyed a gang of windsurfers getting flattened. :)

Just placed an order on line Ted. Payment is on the way.
Thanks,
Danny

Just a heads up for those coming from the WA side of the Columbia river, I would use SR-14 on the WA side and take the bridge at Cascade Locks , seems there is some bridge construction at the I-205 bridge. Heres a not that was passed to me , Thanks for the heads up Barry.
Ted,
Crews are replacing the expansion joints on the I-205 bridge, again starting at 10 pm Fri. until 5 am. Monday. Two lanes will be closed. This will continue thru Sept. 27, but not on 7/4 or Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends.
Last Saturday, the traffic across the bridge was backed up seven miles, and wait times of 2 hrs were a problem. It was complicated by a bridge lift on I-5, late Saturday, several accidents and congestion on surface streets in Portland.
Anyone planning to cross I-205 should use I-5, then I-84 in Portland, or get on SR-14 before the I-5 bridge and head up river to Cascade Locks (Bridge of the Gods), or to White Salmon and cross to Hood River. Then use the same route coming back to go north.
I-205 to SR-14 should expect delays at the I-205 bridge; there may be a long wait getting off I-205 to get on SR-14.
Least desirable option is to leave I-205 at SR-500 (Orchards), head east to NE 162 Ave, then south to SE 1st St., turn left onto SE 1st St and follow it to Everett ST. then south into Camas. At Camas get on SR-14 and head east. This route is probably the way I will go, to avoid possible congestion in Portland that occurred last weekend. Unless you are familiar with Vancouver and Camas or have a map, this route would be harder for anyone coming from the north.
Use SR-14 and cross at or cross at the Bridge of the Gods (Cascade Locks), or further up river at White Salmon and over to Hood River. Because SR-14 is only two lanes, is all curves, and there may be added traffic, this route could take another 30 minutes. There is usually one State Patrol and several County Sheriffs that get speeders on SR-14.
I completely forgot about the traffic nightmare last week because I did not use I-205 or I-5. Many streets in Portland were clogged as people tried to get around the mess on I-205 and find a way over to I-5. You definitely want to avoid using the surface streets to get from I-5 over to I-84 which is the route in Oregon up to Hood River.
Good Luck,
Barry

Good, good.

Cliff , sorry to say I didnt get a moment to visit with Cathy and Brig, maybe they will bring you out next time you head west and we can visit then.
Tell them thanks for being so patient with the slide projector problems, glad we got it fixed.
Still some of the signed books available folks , dont miss out on this new book and signed to boot , Toxicated is sure to become a classic.

I just ordered one..

I plan on being in Oregon in 2011 and 2012, probably June in 11 and last weekend of March in 2012. If your're in country, I'll put you on our list.
You have no idea how much information on Howard Hill the Don Carson manuscript has provided. Little did I know that when I unknowingly purchased Don Carson's personal, inscribed and signed copy of "Will Adventure" by Howard and Elizabeth Hill, that Don held most of the final pieces within those pages on one subject. I've been going back through it with a fine comb this past week.
Thanks for hosting Fred and friends and giving his book a good send off. It is a really good read and he spent considerable time and expense getting it where he wanted.
-
Hosting Fred was definitely my pleasure Cliff, he is a real gem . Having Steve and Larry here as well was just to much to handle all in one day, those of you that did not make it really missed out.
I think the best part was lunch time as all of us gathered on my deck while I barbqued a spring King salmon donated by my friend John , then got back to the serious job of old hunting stories and ideas shared.
God willing I will be here at that time period and we can hook up as well, I will even dig out the original manuscript of the Early Adventures with Howard Hill along with the photos and scrap book , you will love it.
I dont know if I ever shared this with you but when I met with Ruth Carson (Don's wife) she said she was so glad she found me as her children didnt care about archery and all that stuff would have been thrown into the trash! Can you imagine the history lost.
Ron , I still have a signed one for your order.
-
That event had to be quite a treat for all, and sorry I missed it. These legends are scheduled for a showing at the Western States Rendezvous over Memorial Day weekend...and I will NOT miss that.
-
Just picked up a L/B made by Fred, "Stunning" to say the least, Would love to meet him ... Adam
-
Ted - just wanted to say thanks for the quick delivery of my signed copy. My wife is holding it for me for my birthday next month. Being an archery book collector I have quite a few books but in all honesty I don't necessarily read all the books; however, I know that I going to enjoy reading Fred's book. I echo Liquid Amber's comments concerning "Early Adventures with Howard Hill" by Don Carson -- it does fill in a lot of history, and it is a great read! Thanks again! :)
-
Please save me a signed one. I see you're closed today, Monday. I will call you tomorrow.
I have two of his bows and his first book and would love to get the signed edition. It would mean a lot to me.
Thanks, Mack, North Carolina
-
Ted,
Got my signed copy Saturday, thanks for the quick turn around!! If I can get a few spare minutes (retirement sure keeps you busy!!!), I plan to get to reading.
-
Got my copy Saturday also, I can't wiat to have time to set down with it and enjoy.
Thank you, Ted and Fred!
-
Got a signed one set aside for you Mack , yeah we are closed on Mondays.
Glad you others received your books , enjoy the great stories.
You are welcome on the Early Adventures with Howard Hill, I knew as soon as I found the manuscript Don had written or should I say it found me that I needed to publish that , no easy task publishing a book , let me tell you and Fred has done a great job with both the Traditional way as well as his new one , I love the name "Toxicated".
-
Hi Ted,
I will be calling later to day to order a copy and get a T-shirt. Hope all finds you well. I read Fred's last book on between my hunting trips to Illinois & Wisconsin last year and I felt like i was taken back into time.
Quite a compelling writer. had the honor of meeting him many moons ago (1988) at a trad shoot in Mass. I was with Al Reader at the time.
