Alright I'm gonna post some more about this...
Saturday (March 10th)
6:45 A.M.
Got an early start from Monteagle, TN. Checked out of the room, had a little breakfast with Mudd. Breakfast was good but Mudd was a little shall we say, "twitchy". I asked Mudd if everything was okay and he said he was felling fine, but he REALLY wanted to get outside and shoot a little. I think he was going through shooter's withdraw, from not having a chance to shoot his GORGEOUS Sunset Hill bow ANY since we had left Missouri. I assured Mudd we would be in Alabama soon and be shooting very soon with some wonderful fellow Traganger's.
7:57 A.M.
On the road and headed south!!! Yippie, only about an hour from our final destination of Flat Rock, Alabama and home to some of the finest people I've ever met. As we traveled down the mountain from Tennessee and into Alabama I noticed there was a place just inside Alabama with a large open field and a store which looked promising for shooting some bows. I told Mudd we should stop in and see if we could go out back and shoot some. Little did I know that when we drove past the location, we would be coming back very soon and with a very special young man as our driver.
9:12 A.M.
I missed a call on my cell phone and saw that it was from Skyler Wilson....I returned his call and he asked where I was at. I told him I was only about 7-10 minutes from pulling into his driveway. I'll be honest, I felt kinda bad because when I had talked with Don and Sklyer earlier in the week I hadn't planned to be as far along as Mudd and I were and as early as we were. Skyler gave me a few more specifics to get to our final destination and within minutes Mudd and I were at the Wilson's.
I have to say from what I've read here about the Wilson's is totally and without a doubt TRUE. The entire family is truly in a class above and beyond, enough said! Skyler introduced himself and his friend Zach, and we talked for a while before loading up to head back to the store we'd passed on the way into Alabama.
A short trip back from where we came through originally and we were shaking hands and meeting Don Wilson (DW). I again was not disappointed with the friendliness and kindness shown to both myself and Mudd. Don was extremely busy during the time we were at the store, but the shooting was about to being. Don told Skyler to take us out back and do some shooting....So that's EXACTLY what we did.......
Gotta stop for a little bit, I'm at work and trying to type and work at the same time. Gotta run but be back with a little more soon.
