We decided to opt for a hotel room as well. This was a big plus for my son, because now he’ll get to chill in the pool after a long day at the shoot! We’re coming down Thursday and staying through Saturday afternoon.

Are ya kidding James, you are gonna miss the "Championship Shoot Down" as well as Rhonda's "Luck of the Draw" shoot out for those that don't qualify for the Championship.  You'll miss more fun than "who'd a thought it" as my dad used to say.  Never did know what that meant, but I thought it was too funny the way he said it.

Yes sir the shoot downs are one of my favorite part of the weekend. You get to see elite level shooting under stress and the new “Luck of the Draw” puts those who may never reach the Championship a chance to experience that stress and feeling :thumbsup:

I would love to catch the shoot down before we leave! I see that is starts at 4 PM...about how long does it last? Just trying to make plans since we’ve got a 4.5 hour drive home that evening.

James, I'd say a couple of hours at least for all of it, BUT, I've never had this many shoot downs by separating the longbows and recurves.  I do, however, will have two sets of 5 targets to make things go faster.

Looking forward to this one!  I may even have my new Hill style bow in time to shoot it there.

Folks, please forgive the long winded post here, but I'd like to talk about the clubs that put these types of events on.  They deserve credit by doing their very best to accommodate our traditional archery family that make the trip to enjoy the fruits of their labor. 

Planning and a lot of thought are put forth to make sure everyone has a great time.  Many use their vacation time to do this and many of these don't even get to play during their own event, to make sure these event keep running smooth throughout the weekend.

Now, with that being said, the Howard Hill Classic isn't put on by a club. I started this event over 16 years ago and there is NO WAY I could have ever done this alone.  Folks, at most I've had 5 to 7 good, excuse me, GREAT friends, that have helped me over the years. 

We'll get the targets out in a day, then, there's the little extras.  Trail flagging, numbering the targets, hangin banners, etc.

THEN, after a weekend of working the event, EVERYTHING must be taken down on Sunday afternoon and put in a trailer to wait until next year, because after all, we're able to put the Howard Hill Classic on at a beautiful Park and aren't able to leave all we've put out.

SO, this post is to say THANK YOU, to those have have been with me, year in and year out.

Thank you Scott & your wife Val, Gary, Mike, Johnny, Alen and others these guys recruit sometimes to lend a hand.

Last, but certainly not least, is my wife Rhonda.  Without her SUPPORT and running the registration table ALL WEEKEND LONG, coordinating score cards, registrations , entering everything in the computer and all else going on, there would be NO HH Classic.

Again, Thank You, to those never tiring club members and to my wife and friends for providing what's needed for all of our archery family to enjoy.   :clapper:

I agree Terry, it’s never a one man show, and most of us never look behind the curtain to see how these event are run.  If I wore a hat it is off to you and the crew :clapper:

Yes, Terry one thing for sure is that you have really great folks helping with this event. "Thank you", just isn't adequate to express appreciation for all they do. You guys put on a great event.

Let's remind y'all who will qualify for of Championship Shoot Down. 

There will now be separate Shoot Downs for the Men's Recurve & Men's Longbow Divisions, the same goes for the Women.

The Top 30 Men, 15 Men recurve shooters & 15 Men longbow shooters, divided into the two groups for the shoot down.

The Top 20 Women will be divided the same way.

There will be brackets to set up the 1st round.

There will also be 5 Alternates for each of those classes, in case someone doesn't show up on time to start.

The shoot downs will go easy and quick.

The 1st round will have three shooters per group for the Men and two shooters per group for the Women.

For the Men, two of the three will be eliminated, leaving just one.  That leaves FIVE for the final round determining the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Winners.

For the Women, two shooters per group, one of the two will be eliminated, leaving one which will result in the remaining FIVE for the final round determining the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Winers.   :archer2:
