Just checking to see who on the Bowyer's Bench is going to the Tennessee Classic this year at Twin Oaks.Sence we build bows there I figured this was the proper place for this post.

I'll be there. It will be my 5 year. As far as I am concerned this is an event not to miss and especially if you like to build or want to learn how to build wood bows.

I'm going to try my hardest to get up there. I just have a bunch of crazy stuff going on so I will not know till a few days ahead of time if I can get up there.

A few days ago I was watching YouTube videos of the bow building going on there, looked real good. Do you know if they have a forge set up?

How soon do people start showing up? Does anyone stay for a week like they do in Michigan?

I'm going.  Already got a hotel room booked.  I'll be there Friday evening until Sunday.  I'm going to bring some staves to trade if anyone is interested.  Hickory and osage.  I am looking for straight cane shafts, a good scraper, or about anything else.

The official dates for the Classic are April 29th,30th and May 1st. There will be folks there from Friday Apr. 22 on.
  Scrub buster, you will be missing out on half the fun by staying in a motel. Plenty of camping room and that is free.
  I'll be getting there about mid day on Thursday the 28th.

If I only had a camper Pat.  I thought about using a tent, but I don't think they float.

I was in a tent last year (14" in 2 days) and the only water that got in was where I left the flap unzipped.

If it was just me I would probably try it.  My son will be with me and I don't feel like hearing him complain for two days.  I had already decided if he wasn't going, I would just sleep in my truck.

That is a lot of rain Pat in 2 days.

I would love to go to this. What part of TN is it in? and do I have to reserve a spot to throw up a tent

StoneAK, The Classic is about 30 miles north of Nashville, near Clarksville, TN.
  Roy, that was the storm that flooded Nashville last spring.
 DLH, I promise you'll get gas if you eat all that is offered you!
