Awesome show, probably the best turn out I'v ever seen. More vendors this year and way more people...I wish I hadnt gone...cause now it's going to cost me some big bucks...I fell in love with Hoots bows, The Little hoot I think it was called. Beutiful bow and shot like a dream !!!

Made the 3.5 hour trip to Kazoo this morning. Just got home a little while ago with a new Wolverine and a Kanati Pro Quiver for it. Had a good time. Well worth the trip.

My wife and I just pulled into our garage here in KY.  Great show; lot's of vendors and passionate archery people on the floor Friday night and today.  Got to touch base with several old friends plus met a bunch of new ones.  Several bags full of toys are in the truck and a new Tall Tines recurve on the way!

Just work on getting that new knee running smooth.  Next year you can walk the show all day.  I was really happy to be able to make the show after my fusion this Dec. I still have my turtle shell brace on one more full week then I start spending time out of it as I phase it out over the next three weeks and get into PT.  Fortunately I am so close the drive was not an issue.  I wouldn’t be able to do it if I had to travel very far.  Dr. has me walking 4 miles a day so I am practically ordered to walk around most of the day at the expo. :D

Just wondering, did the Wensel's get their new video in time for Kalamazoo?

First, thanks for the pics..  They were great.

I cant believe I passed on going to this show. Too worried about the weather etc.  Maybe its a good thing as far as my wallet goes.

I am going next year if I have to park the Suburban along the way and change to a snowmobile....

I was planning on going today (sunday) BUT, a quick trip to town yesterday revealed a tire that had shifted a steel belt, and a four hour ride was out of the question without new tires.

So the money I would have used for the trip is now proudly displayed on the rims of the pick-up.(Good tires are quite an investment these days)

The shared pictures are much appreciated.

We had the something early this fall.  We were at the mall for a quick something my wife had to get. I was just hanging around in the parking lot, and I happened to look at one of the truck tires and spotted a couple wires sticking out of the tread.  Then I noticed a wave in the tread.  I planned on them going another year.  Good truck tires will eat up some cash for sure.

Thank you for all of those pics, I know how much time that takes to get them all posted. There were so many folks there whom I would like to have met, and some whom I see all too little, that I was filled with a longing to attend this great exposition.

Since I seem to be under the influence of some peculiar malady, I am sure that all are glad that I have far too few days off per year to have scheduled a visit. This time.   :saywhat:  

I am cogitating. Does that make me a codger?

Nope, makes you a co-agitator. I get in such a hurry to shoot all those bows and check those vendors that I lose my mind and don't stop often enough to talk. Did make some new acquaintances this time though and can add more to the conversation on some of our fine sponsors here.

Thanks for the pictures and reports. I contemplating going (never been). The 400+ miles turned me back althought I see some of you went much further!  I almost went at the last minute because my "test drive" PA was on display up there. If someone didn't buy it at "Kzoo" I'll get it in 3-4 days.
