Steve,

 A father and son enjoying time well spent together.I think Fred would be proud to see the tradition lives on in his old stomping grounds.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm glad you all enjoyed the pictures.  I wanted to show off the 2D Hand Painted course as I am sure just about everyone has seen a 3D setup.  With that said, the 3D course was as good if not better than the 2D course.  I'm already looking forward to next year   :thumbsup:  .  There is a lot of work that goes into putting one of these things on.  Remember that and help out your local, state, and national organizations.

Steve, that's a smart lad you've got there, he shoots off the right side of the bow and he knows good chili when he taste it...   :goldtooth:

Ron--correct on ALL counts; we don't mind playing second fiddle to you in any chili contest.

This "right" side of the bow thing has pretty much ruined all my hand-me-down plans...

Great pics Steve.  I'm trying out a new 3D course today here near ft worth TX so maybe I'll be able to post some pics later.  I may not be posting pics with my shots though.  I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with your son.

Great pics Steve, thanks.  I really like those 2D targets.  Do you know where they get them?

The targets are just cardboard sheets.  The vitals are backed up with a 2'x2'x4" piece of ethafoam.  I think they project an image on to the cardboard, trace the outline and important features, then paint them up, but I am not sure.  If somebody does all of them by hand on his or her own, I am even more impressed than I already am!

This shoot is always the weekend after Compton.  I don't shoot much at Compton because it is way too crowded.  I don't mind at all because I know I will be shooting to my hearts content at MTB the next weekend. there is unlimited shooting on these 20-30 2 D targets and the 30 3D target course.  The camping area at MTB is also first rate, tou are in big oaks and pines, not cooking in the middle of a giant field!  If a guy wanted to take a family vacation to Michigan and bookend it on the weekends with Compton and MTB, that would be perfect!  Lots of blue ribbon trout streams, great lakes big water fishing, inland bass, pike, and  walleye fishing. Also wine country tours, the Makinac Bridge, Mackinaw Island and Fort Michilimacinac, Taquamenon Falls, Pictured Rocks, the Soo Locks--LOTS to see and do here for a week!

This is not the camping area, but just one of the little picnic spots, but it gives you an idea of the area a bit.  I do really like this picture...my son LISTENING to one of his elders     :archer:
