The Howard Hill Classic, 2021

[T. W. Harris]

Folks, the 17th Howard Hill Classic is on schedule for 2021.

The dates are June 4th, 5th & 6th, 2021.

Held at Tannehill Historical State Park in McCalla, AL.

Hopefully all goes well for all Traditional Archery events this coming year.

Unfortunately the EXPO in Kalamazoo, MI has already been canceled for 2021, keep our thumbs up and prayers for us all.

FYI, some outstanding happenings are planned for the 2021 Howard Hill Classic.

Hope to make it this year........fingers crossed !!

[T. W. Harris]

Thanks guys.

I really didn't start this thread because, after all,  it is so early, BUT, I would like to add something to it.

The "Championship Shoot Down" will be completely different.

The Recure and Longbow Shooters will no longer be in competition with each other.  The Men & Women will now have their OWN Longbow & Recurve Shoot Downs.

The 1st place will receive $500, 2nd place $300 & 3rd place $200, a $4,000 payout in all. 

Then, the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Winners of the Women & Men will shoot for American Traditional Archer "TOP SHOT" trophy.

Twice the FUN, Twice the EXCITEMENT & Twice the PAYOUT!!!

Terry,

Don’t know if your planning to have the “Rhonda Harris Second Chance” shoot off ( I made up the name, catchy huh?) 😂

I thought it was a hit last year, although I was drawn from the hat to shoot I shouldn’t have since I actually achieved a score high enough to be in the regular shoot off ( God lives!). But Tommy “Longball” Ballinger and of all people your wife convinced me that I belong in that shoot down!

I felt like it was a mistake so I eased up on the other contestants to “let them” win🤭

Anyway I felt like suggesting you consider doing it again for “lesser” shooters to experience the pressures of competing for Championships.

[T. W. Harris]

It will be held again this year, called Rhonda's "Luck Of The Draw" shoot down for those that don't qualify for the main shoot down.

There will also be a bigger prize package.

The winners, Men & Women will receive their choice of a Bear "Grizzly" recurve or Bear "Montana" longbow.  The 2nd Places will win $125.00 and 3rd Places will win $75.00.  Pretty cool in my opinion.

2020 was great fun and great weather as well.

That’s great Terry!  I’m sure it will be a hit again in 2021.  Send my greetings to Rhonda and let her know she should be nicer to me and especially Ole Longball 

Merry Christmas and praying a Happier New Year!

[T. W. Harris]

Looking forward to seeing y'all John.  You all seem to have so much fun and laughter, that's what it's all about, right?

Take care my friend and Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all.

Merry Christmas! Let's hope all goes well and that we can safely move around before long. Maybe by the time of the shoot the vaccine will be plentiful enough that we don't have to be so concerned about the virus. I sure missed not going last year, and I certainly don't want to miss again. Y'all do a great event. Thanks.

[T. W. Harris]

Well, 2021 is nearly upon us.  It'll soon be time to REALLY start promoting the 17th Howard Hill Classic.

I'm hoping y'all help me pass the word.

Terry I would love to make it to your shoot but not sure I ever will beings it is the week before we go to the Cloverdale  shoot in Indiana. Cloverdale is where all the guys from our Monday Night Indoor League get to Campout together so I won't miss that one. I'll keep my fingers crossed, you never know. Keep an eye on that SMAG guy, he looks like he could be dangerous.

Better get down here Kurt yer missing out. Drive to Pappy's stay over night then drive to AL.

What's at Cloverdale, they shoot up there? 

Shawn~

[T. W. Harris]

Kurt, I understand, never been to the Cloverdale Nationals, but have always heard it was a great event.

Would love to have ya one day, I personally don't think there's a better spot for an archery event than Tannehill State Park.  I have heard that Cloverdale is also a beautiful place and I've been to Pappy's place, I know it's beautiful.

Tannehill Historical State Park, in it's own right, is an absolute perfect place.  visit their website.

Shawn, I didn't know if you knew that Sherri, Gil's wife, had come in 2nd or 3rd on the Championship Shoot Down

BUT, she sure took the American Traditional Archer "Top Shot" award in that group of outstanding three shooters.

This year promises to be even bigger & better, with the Men & Women having their own Longbow & Recurve Shoot Downs.  Twelve winners, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Winners in each with a total payout of $4,000.00 split between the winners.
