After shooting the rest off the second of two Tall Tines recurves I exchanged some money and walked out with one of the best shooting recurves I have ever shot and Brian seems to be alright too.

Todd

I've spent the past 48 hours lamenting that I didn't make it to K-zoo.      :(  

Your pictures really helped... for a while...

Now you've got me homesick for the old friends and experiences I realize I missed.      "[dntthnk]"  

Really, though, thanks for the photo tour of the event!

I just got home from mg first trip and I must say there is so much to look at.
I walked around at least 10 times and seen something different everytime.
Didn't buy a bow and still spent $500.
I haven't told my wife yet. It's easier to ask forgiveness then permission.    :pray:  
I know I will be back next year.

Thanks for the pics Todd. I could'nt make it this year due to work, first one I've missed in a long time.

The new Bear Super Kodiak was the best thing I laid my hands on today. I only missed an hour of the show and I touched a lot. Impressive.

Great thread! I didn't think it was possible to get a sore shoulder from trying out bows, but I did  :)  

Enjoyed this trip, even the 8 hour drive, but I am now poor, my wife is mad, and I got a bad wing...life is good  :)

Whoops, looks like I got in the way of a few of those pics on page four. I'm in the first pic(shaved head, black backpack with white crested arrows), and there's a couple of my girlfriend, Rachel(blue coat and light blue backpack), and myself towards the bottom     :D

This was our first trip to the expo. Had an amazing time!  Shot tons of unbelievably good bows, and even better, met some great people!  Definitely worth the long drive. Thanks!

John Nail and I got back this evening. We were there when they opened on Friday and one of the first booths we hit was G Fred's booth. I had taken along my  copies of his books for him to sign and he told me there was one I didn't have. He had just gotten the shipment from the printer of his new book. I bought it and he told me I got the very first copy sold and he signed it as such. Kinda cool. Good show, good time.Dropped a few bucks at Fred's. Bought one of Theresa's pullovers. Nice.

Shoes, they were taking pre-release orders only. Said it should be out in a couple weeks.
