1. Great show.  Hats off to all the folks who worked so hard to make it happen.
2. My favorite bows were a Northern Mist Baraga and Great Northern Ghost-Green with locator grip.  
3. From the bows I shot, fast flight is a thing of the past for me.  All the non FF bows seems much more quiet.
4 Go Sunday, no crowds, very little wait to shoot and lots of time to chew the fat wit the vendors.
4. No junk booths, all high quality stuff.
5. After shooting longbows for so long I cannot believe how heavy some recurves are.

Looking forward to next year.  Thanks again Jerry and friends!

Bill, you are correct,  the resurrected 59 Kodiak was sweet.  The guys at the Bear booth were pretty proud of it.

Met many people, shot lots of bows, picked up some small items, but avoided dropping the big cash on a bow. (But barely!) Looked and shot bows by RER, Cari-Bow, Hill Country, and Bear, the new Kodiak. The Bear folks said the response to the new Kodiak is overwhelming, and that they can't keep them in stock. Great news for Bear's Traditional Division. But I think a new Cari-bow is in my future. Abe's work is very impressive.

The incoming ice storm threat chased us back to WI a little early, but we still got a full day in on Saturday. Everyone should make an effort to make this show, it is a lot of fun.
If man were to know everything in advance, there would be no such thing as adventure!
