Like????
Like going home.
Like putting a face to a name of someone you've known for years but never met.
Good times, comradarie, old fashioned values.
Oh yea, any bows you've always wanted to try but don't know anyone in your area that had one? The big shoots are a great chance to see, handle and most importantly shoot lots of different bows. The good shoots have a ton of vendors. You'd be able to stock up on about anything you need.
By the way, what part of Arkansas are you from? Mojam is pretty close if you're in the northern half and it's all free pretty much. Great times, lots of talent and a LOT of tradgangers go every year. Even better, you can do it in a weekend trip especially if you can take a single Friday off.
