Hey Court,

Great to see the Vortex in use!  Funny I shoot that same fletch configuration and color alot for stumping and bale practice.  I wish I could have been there.  I really like the Keosauqua area.  No new bows in Kalamazoo, but some prospects!

Looks like a great day guys.  Next time I know I am staying in Iowa for the weekend, I will search some of you out.

Pagel with no new bows...not likely   :p  .  I know in about 10 years there will be a lot of bows around my house that say "Custom Made for Dave Pagel".  Still wishing I was a lefty...

uhdet, I did kill a nice 10" pope and young tree stump after a successful stalk. I stalked around down wind within 10 yards and when he had his head turned I drilled him with a cedar. As far as Wabbits. Well I need to get faster on the draw.

I sent an e-mail to a friend who is a DNR wildlife biologist asking for rabbit hot spots. Will let you know if and when he gets back to me.

I'm in!  I have never been there before, but always like seeing something new.  
  Are any of you going to try and go to the 3D shoot Ron was talking about?  I plan on trying to make it.

Chickened out!!! Damon and I went out and got a truckload of firewood this morning. Was going to see if we could find a couple bunnies to shoot at. Temp at -20 Windchill and we decided to come back home and enjoy the wood stove.

Court i wondered if you would go, i was sitting here in the rocker next to the woodstove with a hot cup of coffee watching all the crazy people going to town and never seen you go by. Hope my firewood holds out until this is over.                                             Ok, Redneck I'm game this summer, got a few hot spots if you don't mind thirty pound carp at the end of your arrow.

Hey Vic I guess we could have came by and stopped at your place. Coffee and a hot woodstove doesn't sound bad. Damon likes bowfishing on the backwaters up here when its flooded. Usually use the canoe for that but its better than a trolling motor when you arrow a #30+ Buffalo.

Fires always warm and coffee always hot for friends and strangers. Maybe next time.

I'm in for some fish shooting.  Did it when I was a kid and just bought some fishing gear to give it a try again this year.  I got a 16 foot john boat too.  We was snagging a few spoonbill below lock and dam #18 before it iced up.  If we get a thaw and someone wants to give that a try, just let me know.  Not archery, but fun!
