How far will you be traveling to the Trad Expo
« on: January 17, 2012, 09:34:00 PM »
With the 17th Annual Traditional Bowhunters Expo in Kalamazoo MI just around the corner, I'm curious as to how far people are going to be traveling to attend.

I'll be driving a whopping 2 hours...

Something like 15 and a half hours one way as long as the weather cooperates.

Deer season is over and it will be my first time going to Kzoo. Besides that, my wife is splitting the driving time with me.

I thought long and hard about it. I Mapquested it and it was a little over 11 hrs.

I think I'll save My money for Waterloo it's only a little over 4. I know it would be worth the trip but I'm planning a trip to OJAM also.

Maybe next year.

Will there be one in Waterloo again?   Michigan is a long way from here if the weather is bad.
