Well, I guess I can tell this part now......since it happened before the hunt even started. I offered to pick up Gregg and Terry at the airport in Austin and take them to the ranch. Gregg got here a couple hours earlier than Terry so we got in the truck and were driving around when it hit me. Bob Sarrels bow shop was only about 20 minutes from the airport, and who among us does not like to go to a bowyers shop and oogle all his handiwork? So I took a new course. In just a few minutes we were at Sarrels Archery and after looking at all the bows Bob had on the wall. Gregg just had to shoot a few. I think he kinda fell in love with one of the longbows too! Gregg has a pic or two he will probably show you. Anyway, we could only stay for 30 or 40 minutes and then we had to return to the airport to pick up Terry.

I can't even begin to tell how much I learned on this trip.  The most important thing I learned was to never, ever take a field point in your quiver to the blind with you at Solana!  More on that later.....

It was fantastic to meet the guys and the ranch was awesome!

Glad this is started. All I want to know is did anyone kill anything with my late brother's bow that I sent to the ranch. Waiting on pins and needles.LOL

I think Brian needs to kick this thing off.  He nearly had years of bragging rights...well, he still does.

I am always eager to fondle another man's bow, Greg!  Anyway, Bob Sarrels is a great guy and makes some fine bows!  I had never shot one before and I really liked his take down longbows.

After shooting and visiting with Bob for a while it was time to pick up Terry.  We bought licenses at Walmart and headed to the ranch.  Throughout the day other tradgangers drifted in and we had quite a crew assembled by dinner time.

Woods, You take your time young man. Everyone can wait on the story, the telling is what is important and it takes time to gather ones thoughts and if pics are involved, getting them uploaded and such takes a bit of time also.
