Comptons 2011

[Capt]

I missed it too as I was getting my butt kicked by my 15 yr old daughter on the Green course.

Nice pic; quite the motley crew.  It's hard sometimes to motivate myself to drive several hundreds of miles to a shoot when the Nebraska Trad Archers holds theirs literally 1/2 mile from where I live.  But I know it's far more than a shoot.  I do hope to make it back to Compton in the next couple years.

Never been their. Sure  hope to make it next year.

Lots of familiar faces in the group pic. Sorry I missed it.....maybe next year.

Another face in the crowd, Robtatoo, who also taught many of us valuable lessons in moonshine production and consumption. Actually was great stuff thanks to George Dickel's contribution and Rob's secret ingredients.

If this person ever offers you something to drink I'd be careful!  WOW!

I think the first time I run into him, I'd NEED a drink!   :eek:  

I have got to go to that shoot once. Just gotta.

Plan on being there to meet you folks next year

Sorry I missed the get-to-gether this year. My wife was watching our Grandaughter on the playground and did take a few pics, both for me and a couple for other people with their cameras.

We took both Grandchildren to the activities hosted by the Compton Crew and when they finished the Grandson couldn't wait any longer, he and I had to hit the 3D courses. I'll not post the pictures here........but look for another thread with "them" being the highlight.

Winterhawk, thank your wife again for me. She is the one that actually took the group picture with my camera.

My daughter thought I was crazy to just drive up for the day on Saturday...4 hours one way. It was worth the trip. Got to put some faces with some of the names/handles and shoot a few arrows with some fine folks! Put it on your calender for next June!!
Compton is really more of a Rendezvous than a bow shoot. Like minded folks getting together to share their interest, do some swappin' and spin a yarn or two. It was a "shinin' time"!  Mike

It was a great time this year. This year I did make it to Trad. Gang meeting. Missed it last year.

[Whip]

What a whirlwind of a weekend!  Every year it seems to go by faster than the year before.  Lots of Trad Gangers at the gathering, and many more that missed it. There is just so much going on that it is very easy to lose track of time.  

At least being stuck in the booth all weekend gave me a chance to see a good bunch of them!

[Wiley Coyote]

I managed to miss the photo and the get together. I did run into a few fellow tradgang members as I wandered around spending money and loosing arrows! It was once again a great time!      

[Winterhawk1960]

smoke,

She said that you are quite welcome. She also, very easily picked you out of that lineup. Next year I hope to make the get-to-gether again. It was indeed a "whirlwind" of a weekend. Good times and memories that will last a lifetime.

My first Compton what a great time.  So many nice people.  Sorry I missed the tradgang gathering I too lost track of time and was in the middle of the green course.  Hopefully I will met some of you guys there next year.

[Dusty Nethery]

This year was my first time as well. I was only up for Friday, so I missed the get-together.

The courses were fun, and I blew a bunch of money on the aerial targets.

I hope to make it up again next year.
