The 15th Howard Hill Classic, 2019

[T. W. Harris]

Folks, the 15th Howard Hill Classic will be May 31, June 1 & 2, 2019.

There will be some very exciting changes made this year and I'll be letting you know very soon what they will be.

But I will say one of the BIGGEST  will be that the IBO Mid America will also be at Tannehill as well.

MUCH MORE TO COME!!!

[Sam McMichael]

I have marked the calendar. See you at the end of May.

[Sam McMichael]

Bringing this one back to the top. This is one of the better shoots in the Southeast. It is worth the ride from wherever you live. Come on down!

[T. W. Harris]

By the way, all targets this year will be new Rinehart Targets.

Folks, I've been working with Levy Bryant, with the IBO, and discussing the IBO Divisions.

This year's Howard Hill Classic will be adding divisions to coincide with the IBO.  For example there now will be a Recurve Unlimited Class as well as others.

There are other exciting announcements coming.

Here's one of the major changes for this year's Howard Hill Classic.

In addition to the Divisions that have always been in place, here are some added Classes to coincide with the IBO.

Men's & Women's Recurve Unlimited
Men's Modern Longbow
Men's Sr. Traditional

The Men's Modern Longbow will allow three piece takedowns, wood, carbon & aluminum arrows.

Men's Longbow will consist of allowing the takedown (breaking down at the handle) and wooden arrows only.

The Men's Sr Traditional  ( 62 years & older) allows all arrows

Men's Sr wood arrows only.

There may be other changes after finalizing thing with Levy Bryant with the IBO.

Should be exciting!!

Well, well, looks like the IBO has also talking about a Vintage Bow Class as well.  I'll look into this and if they have, the Howard Hill Classic will have it.

I'll certainly post the details on this as well on this later.

Terry Harris

[T. W. Harris]

Folks, all in all, there will be 15 classes for competition at this year's Howard Hill Classic.

FIVE of these have never been here before.  As I said earlier, if the IBO has it, I'm trying to coincide so when you come and have a class that hasn't been here before, it will be here now.

I'll also be displaying the newly designed Howard Hill Classic plaque pretty soon, I believe you will really like it.

I'll also be displaying a photo of the 1st Place Belt Buckles.

For the of you that have never been to the Howard Hill Classic, I feel you're in for a tremendous time shooting your bow.

On my Howard Hill Classic course, I've always tried to set up a challenging, yet fun course.   Good hunting shots, set up for left & right handed archers.  I also try and make sure that the limbs on that archers bow won't be striking anything in it's way.

NOW, you might come up to a stake on a few targets and look down to the target and say, "part of the kill zone is covered".  Don't worry, with a foot on the shooting stake, you might have to adjust or lean over just a little, but I always have the entire kill zone wide open.  TAHT'S WHAT REAL HUNTING SHOTS LOOK LIKE, RIGHT!?

Come, you'll not regret it.

[T. W. Harris]

Levy Bryant as well as Shana Wilson are really getting pumped about holding the IBO Mid America here in Alabama, along with the Howard Hill Classic.

I'm kinda getting excited myself.

Hi everyone, I started another thread about pesky gnats at our archery events.

"Folks, for those of you that have been to the Howard Hill Classic in June, there has been a problem with gnats.

I really believe I have found a solution to help solve this problem for you.

At this year's Howard Hill Classic, I'll have bandanas and bug spray I'll give you free.

I've worn a bandana for years, while being out on the range all day putting out targets and never had gnats get in my face.

I spray the front of my bandana and the gnats stay away from my face.

If you spray you hat rim or cap bill it also works."

Now I know there are many other remedies that many of you use, I'm just trying to offer a solution for you, FREE.

I'd like to thank Heather with "Planet Apparel" who has given me an outstanding price on the bandanas so I can give them to you.

Thanks Daniel, by the way.

Folks, just received the plaques in for the 2019 Howard Hill Classic.

Yes, I ordered early but I want to showcase the new design, especially for the new classes that have been added to the HH Classic.

I'll be posting a couple of photos a little later, not only of one of the plaques, BUT, I'll also be posting a photo of one of the "American Traditional Archer", Howard Hill Classic 1st Place buckles.

NOW, let me clarify in case there was some confusion about qualifying for the Championship Shoot Down..

At some other IBO events, there has been what is called a "Hunters Challenge" course you'd have to shoot if you wanted to qualify for the Saturday Championship Shoot Down.

There won't be a "Hunters Challenge" course, the "Howard Hill Classic" course will be THAT course one will have to shoot to qualify for the Shoot Down.

So, every class will be represented at the Howard Hill Classic, your 1st round automatically puts you into the competition to see if you qualify for the Shoot Down, as well as enters for into the Howard Hill Classic competition.

When you register at the HH Classic table, there will be an all day shooting fee (if you just want to shoot one day) or special weekend rates for singles and families. These rates entitle you to shoot either all day or all weekend.

After your 1st round, you don't have to stop there.  You can continue to shoot the Howard Hill Classic to improve your HH Classic score if you'd like or just shoot for fun, YOUR CHOICE.
