The 15th Howard Hill Classic, 2019

[T. W. Harris]

BTW folks, when you enter Tannehill Historical during business hours, you'll be greeted by the friendly Park gate keeper.

If you're camping, there's no other fee to enter the Park.  If you're not camping in the Park, you'll pay a one time fee and then pick up a Park Pass from our registration area some you can come and go as you please.

If you come after hours, you can set up your camping and then go to the General Store the next morning and pay to camp then.

Wow, GREAT NEWS for you men & women self bow shooters.  Even though I've always had those two self bow classes at the HH Classic, The IBO has not, especially for the women.  But maybe in the future for both, in the meantime, here's a pretty good idea.

Levy Bryant with the IBO, has just let me know that there will be a men and women's self bow shoot down on Saturday afternoon, time yet to be announced.  There will also be some sort of 1st place prize, also yet to be determined.

NOW, you don't have to turn in any kind of score, JUST BRING YOUR SELF BOWS and you're in, EXCITING!!!

Am I correct in assuming "Men's senior traditional" allows recurves, and "Men's sr. wood arrows only" is for longbows?

[T. W. Harris]

You are correct sir, hey, I'm learning knew stuff here as well, LOL.

Folks, as I mentioned earlier, the IBO is having a Men's & Women's Self Bow Shoot Down on Saturday afternoon.

The 1st Place shooters will be splitting $250.00 to start but Arvin Weaver has generously donated one of his outstanding self bows to be raffled off and the proceeds from the raffle will also be added to the $250.00.

NOW, will all that being said, there is a woman competitor, can really shoot, has informed Levy Bryant, that she can get as many as TWENTY WOMEN self bow shooters to compete.  Sh'e been trying to get the IBO to have a Women's Self Bow class in the IBO for years.

I know who she is and I must say the ball is in her court.  Let's show Levy that YOU CAN BRING IT GIRL, LOL.

Alright everybody, I've explained that the HH Classic is a multi round event with the highest score you turn in counts, no matter if it is your 1st round or your last.

NOW, I'm gonna try and explain a little about how the IBO rounds are to be shot.

There will be FIVE times that IBO shooters can go out to shoot 40 targets.

There will be two times on Friday and it will be shot gun starts:  First time will be 8:00am and 11:00am.  Saturday will be the same, 8:00am and 11:00am.

On Sunday you can start at 8:00am, but it will not be a shotgun start.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!!
As long as you get 40 targets shot, you are finished with the IBO round.  You can shoot all 40 on Friday same on Saturday, if you can get them in..

Or you can shoot 20 on Friday & 20 on Saturday. 

Or you can shoot 20 Targets on Friday or Saturday and finish your 20 targets on Sunday.  AS LONG AS YOU GET 40 TARGETS IN.

All other time can be spent shooting the Howard Hill Classic range if you'd like.  WHEW!!!

If you have any questions, please feel free to write here, email me or call me.

All IBO times are shotgun starts. You will be assigned a stake with your peers. Shotgun starts for the IBO are Friday & Saturday 8am & 11am, and Sunday 8am.
You must shoot 40 targets, however you get them in. I suggest shooting all 40, or 20 and 20. IBO course has A & B ranges made up of 20 targets each. It will be a weekend full of shooting our bows. Can't wait.

[T. W. Harris]

 Let me remind you of the SIX bows that will be raffled off over the weekend.

Arvin Weaver has donated one of his beautiful Self Bows to be raffled off with the proceeds from that to be added with the $250.00 to be split with the Men & Women winners of the Self Bow shoot-down.

Now, the other FIVE to be raffled.  I have three photos I'll add here and hopefully ae adding another two shortly

The DAS & two bows from Bear Archery.

Big Jim has been so generous over many years by donating one of his Custom Longbows.

Bear Archery, another tremendous contributor to the Howard Hill Classic by donating bows for years as well.  This year Bear Archery has donated a Bear Montana Longbow and a Bear Super Grizzly Recurve.

Johnathan Karch with 3Rivers has supported me from day one and again he has done so.  Johnathan has donated a DAS Recurve.

NOW, I come to my friend Tim Mullins with Acadian Woods Bows.  This year, Tim offered to build a "One of a Kind" bow to raffle of at the Howard Hill Classic.  I've seen a rough cut video of this bow, all I can say is WOW!!!

Folks, together these bow are worth, not hundreds, BUT THOUSANDS of dollars.

Let me also add, there will only be a limited number of chances for the five bows I have.  Each chance is $20.00 and one will be given away at different time TBA during Friday & Saturday.

Folks, I may be wrong but I don't think I've ever heard of this many bows being raffled at Traditional Archery event ANYWHERE!!!
