Larry,
You didn't say whether you were camping or staying in a motel. Last year was our first trip to Comptons and we stayed in a motel over in Benton Harbor, we've got reservations at the same place and are arriving a day earlier this year.
I brought a lot more money with me last year than we needed......but then again, I didn't purchase anything that cost that much while we were there. They have the chili supper on Friday evening that is FREE......and it is a really good feed.
On Saturday last year, we got up....ate breakfast at a little local restaurant and headed for Berrien Springs. I shot three of the 3D ranges, and shot all the bows by various bowyers that I wanted to. Snacked a little for lunch and shot some more. Around 5pm they have a "trading blanket" that a bunch of people put all the stuff that they want to get rid of on and you can walk around and see what strikes your fancy. There was some really nice stuff on the blankets last year. To finish off the day they have a supper, which last year was a half a chicken and all the fixins to go with it for only $10.......I felt like a bloated toad, but man was it good.
I just bring my bows, some arrows.......and my shooting glove, along with a quiver of some sorts. The quiver makes shooting the ranges a lot more "convenient". You can pretty much do as you please........talk with people, shop till you drop, and eat like a king. It can be as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be.
Myself, I enjoy being around "like-minded" people and shooting bows with them is just the icing on the cake.
If this is your first........I'm willing to bet that it won't be your last.
