North American Longbow Safari 2014 in Oregon this year!

[Hud]

Fabulous event, great fun and usually great weather in central OR. You need to go.

Brad,

I asked Dan Toelke if a Whip qualified, and he said it did.  Of course, Dan is not running the tournament, but he is aware of other Whip users who have shot in this tournament using one.

sound like a place for Flatliners and Frontier 66s to me. I am going to this one if I can. I have wanted to join TAO for a long time anyway and that country is some of the most beautiful country in the world.  
thanks Ron. God bless, Steve

Hey Steve!  I look forward to seeing you there!  I'm planning on being there this year.  In case you're wondering, I'm the guy that stopped by for dinner a few years back.  You gave me a lam-grinder!

As been said it is relaxed. Fun. Kids shoot.  The event is not a tournament per se.  Score cards are used, but not all turn them in
It is a celebration of the longbow

A Whip is cut just shy of center so by definition it qualifies.

McDave,

Thank you very much for the confirmation.   I really appreciate you taking the time to talk to Dan about it.

Thank you to everyone for the help and I hope to see you all there!

The Rockies have nothing on that country. Its a mountain man paradise . What a place to hold a meet.

God bless, Steve

Wow, I have planned to be in Oregon the week of the 7th to visit family before driving an old truck up to Montana to see my sister the following weekend.  Maybe I'll make I sure I show up early enough to attend this, it'd be awesome to finally have it work out so conveniently!!

Yup, I have a feeling this is going to be a good one......  Of course I live here, so I may be a bit biased  :-)  Starting on my longbow technique already.  Planning on using a longbow to hunt with this year also.

TAO puts on a great shoot.  This is worth driving to.

I didnt see Kirk and others questions answered completely.If they were then disregard,But....

Locator handles and the likes are allowed.What they dont want,is massive risered bows,such as most 3 piece longbows.I have seen some pretty curly limbs and grips there,just dont let the string touch the limbs.Ive never seen anyone checking draw weight,so i dont think they worry bout that much.Ive even seen a few carbon arrows,at past events,but as they say,this event is for traditional style longbow and wood arrow enthusiast.Lets respect what this shoot is about.If you dont agree with the rules,thats fine,there are plenty of other shoots that you can use other style equipment at.This is a fun shoot that is in place to keep old traditions alive and it is a once a year,unique event.
