Folks, I know hunting season is going on hot & heavy and Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day is gonna get here faster than we all think.

With that said, the 2017 PRE SPRING ARROW FLING will be held February 24, 25 & 26, 2017. It will again be held at Tannehill Historical State Park in McCalla, AL. www.tannehill.org

Compton Traditional Bowhunters will again be joining the American Traditional Archer in hosting this event.

This year will certainly be a little different. There will be 40 total 3D targets for everyone to shoot and have a great time. The MAIN DIFFERENCE will be that everyone will have an OPTIONAL 1ST ROUND CHOICE of competing in their class. The key word here is OPTIONAL!. If you still like the "Just For Fun" format, you don't have to compete. There'll be a special card for those that want to make their 1st round a competitive round. There will be beautiful "American Traditional Archer" awards given out on Sunday, 1st, 2nd & 3rd place for each class.

There will be an all day fee, single weekend rate as well as a weekend family rate. These rates entitle you to shoot as many rounds as possible for the rate you choose.

I'm lining up several bows from some outstanding bow companies as well as Bowyers, also other outstanding prizes to raffle off the Camp Jack Wright, Boy Scout Camp.

Tannehill State Park has approximately 300 improver camping spots, unlimited primitive camping and three bath houses in the Park.

I'll soon be adding my Vendors list to this thread as well as photos and other information.

I can't wait for this year. I had a blast last year and met a lot of new people. This is one of my favorite shoots for the year.

Alright folks, Thanksgiving, Christmas & now it's 2017 and I hope everyone had an outstanding Christmas & New Year.

Hunting season will be over down south before ya know it and then cabin fever will set in.

BOOM, it'll be time for the PRE SPRING ARROW FLING!!!

Already gearing up for some great Vendors.

Speaking of Vendors, Teresa Asbell will be adding some TREMENDOUS items to go with the 1st Place Awards for those who choose to compete this year.

Looking forward to adding to this post between now and when this event arrives.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Terry Harris

Sorry JR, I didn't see your post. If you're competing on the optional 1st round, no minimum weight on your arrows, any arrows used for longbow or recurve, wooden or cane for self bow.

T. W. Harris · « **Reply #16 on:** January 03, 2017, 02:56:00 PM »

LOL, wish I could.

BTW, I spoke with Dave Jarvis w/ Compton Traditional Bowhunters and he's also adding to the 1st place winners awards.

Dave told me that each of the 1st place winners will receive a "OneYear" Compton Traditional Bowhunters Membership. He also added if that individual is already a member, something else would be given.

WOW, these winners are really making out at this years Pre Spring Arrow Fling.

I'm planning on attending this year for the first time. If its anything like the other gatherings I've experienced it'll be well worth the trip! I'll be there late morning friday if traffic goes well and will be tent camping if the weather isn't to harsh. Any others on here have experience tent camping during this event or going to this year? Will the camp grounds be far from the main rendezvous?

Patknight · « **Reply #18 on:** January 03, 2017, 06:47:00 PM »

I'd love to be there but I'll be chasing tarpon in Belize.In a kayak!!!!!Have fun fellas

T. W. Harris · « **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2017, 08:09:00 PM »

Shane, there is almost unlimited camping, and you can even camp very near the area where everything is happening: such as Vendors, trade blanket, registration area, food, etc.

I feel you'll have a great time here.
