I'll be there, too.  Most of the weekend I'll be working the booth, but I'm setting my alarm for 11:00 am Sat!  It will be great meeting with you all.

BTW, the traveling 1956 Kodiak Special arrived at my house today and I will have it with me if anyone wants to fondle or shoot it.

Unfortunately we have two birthday parties and two graduation parties to attend Saturday afternoon and evening.  :(    Maybe something else I can’t recall right off.  I don’t understand people not consulting with me on these scheduling things.    "[dntthnk]"  It’s a crazy weekend.  I will be there most of the day Friday and maybe Saturday until about 11, but then have to hit the road to make the first stop around noon.  Maybe next year unless I can talk the wife into covering for me on the first stop and then catch up with them later.  Maybe work some kind of father’s day angle.   ;)

A quick question........

Will anyone have a bow scale on hand at Comptons???

I have a bow.......that I have a very sneaking suspicion is MORE weight than it say's. Either that or all the rest of my bows are "underweight".

I'm just wanting to check this if-and-when I have the opportunity.

Thanks.......in advance

Leaving thursday morning for Michigan.  Should be there in time for supper.  We will be manning the PBS booth so stop by and introduce yourselves.  
I'll be motelling it, but does anyone know how much it costs to camp and to shoot there?  I got a call about those questions and it isn't on the Compton website.  Thanks in advance.

I plan to get to Compton Thursday evening, set up my booth and campsite. Looking forward to meeting lots of TradGangers during the course of the weekend. Be sure to stop by TradArchers' World and check out the magazine that covers traditional archery from A to Z. Tom

I'll be there Friday morning if all goes as planned.  I'm looking forward to putting some faces and names together.

Whip - I'll be bringing a twin sister to your XR.  She's a little lighter in weight with a bit more smoke in her bocote.
