I can't begin to express my gratitude for the warm and welcoming environment that my family experienced at the hands of Compton's, Berrien County Sportsman's Club, and all of the wonderful helpers and volunteers, not to mention all of the attendees with several visits under their belts. Everyone was incredibly friendly.
My only regret, though it's more of a flaw with myself, is that I'm horrible with names...and I'm ashamed that I didn't get better details and contact information from some of my neighbors in the campground before they left. Though from talking with them, I just chalk it up to, "we'll see them next year."
As I get more pics from my wife's phone as well as a few videos, I'll be adding to this thread over the next couple of days.
PS...nobody in my family lost any arrows!!! The Orange course was tough...few goose eggs in there, but it was a great warmup for the green course which I improved quite a bit hitting very good shots on all the shots on top of the hill starting with the baboon. After the Red course I was feeling pretty dang good about myself...only to be be brought back down to earth on the Blue course which made my Orange course performance look awesome.
I also managed to avoid 99.9999% of the poison ivy...getting only a small pencil eraser sized spot on top of my left forearm. I considered it great motivation to hit every target.
