Traditional World Championships
« on: July 23, 2012, 06:59:00 PM »
Hey guys we just got back from Tennesee at the Traditonal World Championships and I won my first World Championship buckle in the modern longbow class. There was 3 of us from Missouri, Jason Burton, Ken Davis, and my self Lonnie Bailey. We had a great time and cant wait to do it again!!!

Congratulations Lonnie. What kind of equipment do you shoot? Any tips for others considering giving that a try?

Congrats , that is a wonderful accomplishment.
So do you shoot bow straight up or canted. I like Rick Welch but I cannot shoot bow straight up.

Congrats!

I would have thought that you were gonna say that you used a bow in the 30-40# range with a light arrow setup, instead of 51#. I say that's pretty dang impressive with that kind of bow weight.   :notworthy:    :clapper:    :archer2:
