Found a like new NM Shelton. I was grouping my arrows on top of each other. Needless to say it went home with me.

shot a few bows when I had the time to slip away from the booth. Steve Turays Northern Mist Sprague is a real shooter Its been on my mind.

The show was great.
I got some ACE broadheads and ordered a dozen arrows from Lost Nation.
I had a close call with Javaman, there was a beautiful longbow that almost came home with me.
Got to visit with some folks that I only see once a year and I finally got to meet Roger Norris in person.

I shot, Northern Mist, Shrew, Java Man, Black Widow, Timberhawk, Stalker, and I'm sure there's a couple that I can't recall at the moment.  My daughter bought herself a Shrew Siberian Tiger, very beautiful and great shooting bow, and she put a deposit down with Greg for a Java Man she has been wanting for the past year.  I picked up my Classic I had ordered from Steve at Northern Mist, and left with an American on order.  Got to shoot his new Skanee three piece take down, awesome bow! and as said above his new Sprauge shoots great as well.

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.

Was a great expo, got to touch base with some old friends.  Shot some bows, Steve still makes an awesome bow line.  Warning:  If you shoot one of Steve's bows there and like it buy it, then.  It will be gone the next day.

Great show and I managed to attend all three days!!  Picked up my Java Man Impala Supreme from Gregg that I ordered in Sept.  Purchased a couple items from Traditional Leatherwork and also a couple Selway quivers.  Shot more of Gregg's bows and almost walked out with another, but fought off the impulse for now.

Bought a few odds and Ins but got to chat with BW for about 30 to 40 min Saturday late afternoon.
We both lived in the Flathead valley in NW Mt ( although at different times) so it was fun hearing stories from the 70s from an area I know well.
My two boys were just riveted to the table the whole time Barry was talking and on the ride home I asked what their favorite part of the show was....
My oldest ( David 12 ) said “ I really liked just sitting there listening to Barry talk”....
I just smiled and nodded in agreement!!!


Barry was informed by his better half that he needed to get a picture with these nice boys that sat there patiently listening to him the whole time, and of corse nothing can happen without someone cutting a joke, big smiles and laughs by all!!!!

I was called out of the country for work last year and missed the Expo; it was great to see old friends at the show and hang out with my hunting buddies. My son also drove up from college to see everyone; that was one happy young man.

5 Stars go to Kaz and 23’up for braving that weather all the way from Iowa. Really nice to meet you guys and visit a bit.
