Hi Terry. Is it going to be possible for people that can not come to get one of these shirts or is it a have to be there item?

[T. W. Harris]

Hi Mark, unfortunately I've tried holding, ordering and sending t-shirts this way, it was a lot of trouble and very time consuming for me.

I hope you understand that one would have to be here.

Folks, going to run out to Tannehill Historical State Park this Saturday. 

I'm going to walk the course to see how I plan on setting out the new Rinehart Targets.

Hopefully I can try and set a course you'll find challenging as well as fun for all to enjoy..

I'm really getting excited about the IBO Mid America being held here as well!!

I feel this dual event will be outstanding for friends and family, not to mention for those that really like to compete.

DON'T MISS IT FOLKS!!!

By the way folks, you don't have to join the IBO to shoot this event.

I encourage everyone that's never shot an IBO course, do so.  You'll meet some great folks and their courses are set up great.

Folks, for those camp in the Park, there are three bath houses and even a laundry.

Here's one in camp ground # 1, this is also where the laundry is located.  Another, the largest is in camp ground # 3.

SO, I hear from archers every year, "I'd like to see how I shot".

Well this year some of the best shooters out there will be here competing, helping if you ask advice, and most of all, sharing the passion and friendship in the sport we all love.

Folks, over the next two months, there are still some outstanding events coming up.

In less than two weeks, the Kentucky TradFest in Harrodsburg, KY, a great shoot for competition or just for fun event . Also, lots of Vendors.

Then, you certainly don't want to miss the Twin Oaks Classic in Clarksville, TN.  One of the largest in the south and one of the best shoots in the Country IMO. Again, lots of Vendors.

When finished having great times at these events, catch your breath and make your traveling plans for a RARE DUAL EVENT, in one location.  The HOWARD HILL CLASSIC & IBO MID AMERICA held at beautiful Tannehill State Park in McCalla, AL.  Lots of Vendor will be here as well, not to mention getting to shoot with some of the best archers out there.

OK, my wife says I'm horrible a giving driving directions, let me see if I can make your experience shooting the IBO/HH Classic easy than I do for driving, LOL.

First, you don't have to join the IBO to shoot the IBO Mid America.

The IBO has two 20 target ranges, Course A & Course B.  If you shoot in the IBO competition, you must shoot BOTH COURSES, 40 target total for the IBO competition.  The cost is $30.00.

You have 5 different times you can do this.  On Friday, the times are 8:00 AM and 12:00 Noon.  On Saturday, the times are 8:00 AM and 12:00 Noon.  On Sunday, only at 8:00 AM.  All times are a shot gun start.

As long as you shoot both courses, it doesn't matter the times YOU choose.

The Howard Hill Classic has 25 targets and the Course opens at 7:00 AM Friday, Saturday & Sunday.  If you can only shoot one day, there is an all day fee of $25.00 and you can shoot as many rounds as you can get in.  There are special weekend rates for Singles & Families.  Fee's for a Single weekend rate are $35.00 and Family rates are $60.00 for a family up to four, living at home.  These rates entitle you to shoot as many rounds as you can get in.  FOLKS the HH Classic is a multi-round shoot with you highest score you shoot over the course of the weekend counting for your competition.

NOW, if you like to compete with multiple bows, you only have to pay an extra $20.00 per bow, and you can also shoot the different bow as much as you want.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by phone or email.
