I would wait to see what's at Cloverdale. They put on a really great shoot.

I don't know how many TG sponsors will be there but there's usually at least a few, including BigJim.

Yes, we will certainly be there and it is a great shoot. You will enjoy it.

I'm not the kind of guy that likes to wait, but there will be several bowyers there to speak to and also many used bows to massage. So....my suggestion would be to buy one now and then buy another at Cloverdale... :)
see ya there, BigJim

We will be there as usual, and I'll have some new 48" youth recurve bows this time. Your kids could be the first to win their class with a Rhino 48.

That is correct.

It's one of the few shoots I try to make every year.

I'm going on Sat for sure. Don't know if I will shoot the course or not but I will be looking to pick up some odds and ends. I'm feeling pretty good about that KMag out to 20yds but there looks like there are some much longer shots than that there.

We will be there also.  I don't keep track of who is a sponsor and who isn't, but there are always plenty of vendors there.  It is hard to beat the chance to hold it in your hand.  Of course, I wish I had thought of Big Jim's advice first.  Ha!  Love it.

Larry, the opportunity to hold a Bear Kodiak 59er in my hands last year at Cloverdale at your booth cost me plenty!  Worth every penny too.   :D
