Kalamazoo expo?
« on: January 30, 2009, 10:00:00 PM »
Would it be worth skipping practice tomorrow and going to the expo with my dad? What goes on there?
I don't really want to spend a bunch of money, so is there anything else to do?
Tell me about it please...

Just got home from there.  Other than the entrance fee of $10 for the whole weekend you don't have to spend any money.  It was $6 for just the night.  Do you like to shoot bows?  Nice bows of all kinds?  For free?  That was a lot of fun.  I am going back tomorrow.  I just wish I had my own arrows for consistency.  Some of the loners were not the best.

If your elbow is to sore to shoot, you better skip practice!    :readit:  

I sure wish I had the time to go!

Heck I'm sorry to hear that so many are going and not buying anything.  Remember it's the vendors that keep events like this coming.  If there are no sales, there are no vendors.

So go and try to help out a little.  Wish we were there.

LOL

I helped stimulate the economy. I ordered a SXT longbow from Bill and Tracy of Zipper bows, I'm number one on the Carp Vader list from Jim Belcher, Bought a KME kit after Ron showed me how to use it, got a hat from Whip (boy, was he busy), string supplies from Kustomking. We were there for about 2.5 hours and it was definetly getting busy!

We got back about 1:00 and I'm glad we went early. When we left the place was packed !!! Most people I'v seen in a long time. The only thing I bought was a string for my Widow and some Ace bunny blunts. I only wish I had some extra money right now.

We enjoyed meeting Rabbitman there last night.  He's a lot of fun and great to talk with.  Spent so much time talking with great folks I almost forgot to empty my wallet...  Almost!  :D
