How many from Arkansas?
« on: August 21, 2010, 09:32:00 PM »
How many people are there from Arkansas? I keep seeing people showing up from Arkansas so I am wondering. Also I am wondering if there are any trad shoots in Arkansas and also if not why not because we have a lot of shooters. And why don't we try together and hunt sometime. I like camp time with people not just myself. Just some thoughts? God Bless Ty

I'm not from AR, but I'm as close as you can get and still be a resident, actually former resident, of KS.  I grew up in a small town of 3500 people, Galena, KS.  Galena's city limits on the eastern side of the town is the MO state line.  The OK state line is about 2-2.5 miles S of our southern city limit.  That puts us down in the extreme SE corner of KS.  It's probably an hours drive, maybe less, to get to the AR state line and its closest point in the 4 State Area.  It's been 41 years since the Navy took us away and now we've been in the Lowcountry of SC for the past 34+ years.

How many shoot Elmer Patton's Crow Creek bows?  I have a Black Feather longbow in his shop right now for a refinish.  While he's doing the refinish, he's going to build a set of recurve limbs for me to go with the longbow limbs.  The recurve limbs will be 62" and 45-47#@28".  Elmer is quite the bow and a great friend.  Elmer's shop is in Wynne, AR.  Below is a link to the thread showing a pic of the Black Feather Elmer is refinishing for me:

I was in Ark for 13 years before moving to Tex.  Man I miss it.  I know Texas has a lot to offer but Arkansas is outdoorsmans heaven.  Great country and lots of public land.  Not to mention the flyfishing which was my job.  What was I thinking getting maried and having a baby!  :banghead:  
Not realy I wouldn't trade my life for anything but I would love to move back to Ark.

I live about 6 miles out of Conway in the Saltillo community.  A TG (Arkansas) get together hunt sounds very interesting.

I live in Benton, a TG get-together would be a great idea and Lake Quachita sounds as good a place as any.

I reside in the northeast area. 36,000 acres of bow only close by. 11,000 of it 20 minutes and the other 25,000 45 minutes away. It will be my first year of traditional bow hunting. I can not wait. Camping will be great later in the season when skeeters die.

Hey the skeeter count is down, they only caught 85 in the nets in Stuttgart on Monday. Sounds good Arky if I can find time, I am hoping to get a night job at Remington. Plus I might be looking at a promotion at the new job so I will just have to see. I am always up for a hunt, Fish, or shoot on a Saturday right now though as long as I got the gas. God Bless, Ty

A few of you know me from the site and a few of you know me from stumping, bowfishing, hunting and whatnot.

I have invited others to hunt with me on wmas for 2 years and so far have only had 1 guy take me up on it.  On the other hand I have been invited by Buckster last year and I never made it.  So I understand some times things just don't work out.

I'd really like to get a group of us together for a hunt and camp.  Ouachita is good for me or whereever. Public land is fine with me.  Tyler if you meet me at the house we can share the ride.

I have 3 of Elmer's bows.  I have a Blackfeather, Crowmag & a Dalton.  Love them all but the Dalton is my absolute favorite.
