Had a great time at Kalamazoo. Saw lots of old friends and made some new ones.
Pick a spot and concentrate!

I'm glad you had a great time. My buddies and I went Saturday and were a "little" disappointed (compared to years gone by).

Karen and I had a great time catching up with old friends and making some new ones.

I as usual spent more money than I had planned but oh well.

It was great. I have a buddy who wasn't able to go but was hoping to see some pictures. If you guys have any could you post them up?
I didn't take many pictures but here's one

The back room on Saturday looking down Lonnie's used bow lineup.

The Kalamazoo expo is the highlight of the winter for me. The last few years I've had the privilege of helping at the Lost Nation archery booth its busy but very rewarding to see a lot of folks who love traditional archery.

Always look forward to this show to help break up the winter doldrums.  Had a great time as usual, and shot a bunch of bows.  Came home with a back quiver from Oklahoma Leatherworks, KC is a great guy and does exceptional work.  Made one last stop at the Northern Mist booth, I have a Classic on order now, just can't seem to resist Steve's work.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

That picture was posed. I was at Asbell's booth doing a G Fred impersonation. I stuck some of Teresa's wool in my shirt to create the effect.

Great to see so many friendly faces visit my booth at Kzoo over the weekend. I will have several candids from the event in the Spring issue of TradArchers' World magazine.

It amazing for me to see so many traditional archers in one place.  The low population in Western Australia  makes it  unviable to even think about an event like this.
One day I will get over there for either this or maybe  Compton
I love Bowhunting!!!!
Hunting for Bows that is   ;)

So glad to see Ron had an undershirt under his button up shirt.
