ETAR...what caught your eye??
« on: July 26, 2015, 05:12:00 PM »
My son and I just got home. What a great weekend!   :jumper:


What product(s) really got your attention....or your money??   :D


For me, the new Zipper recurve limbs were simply amazing!!  Bill has designed a real winner!  

Also, I have never bought a custom built set of arrows, preferring to build my own. However, Gary Hall's (D&M Custom Arrows) arrows are just about a "must have" for me. I waited a little too long, and he had already sold the ones that I liked. Looks like an order is in my near future!!

I had my eyes on Leon Stewart's works of art, and he invited me to shoot one of his bows. I couldn't afford it, but I did score a Howard Hill Big Five longbow for an incredibly great price at the swap meet. Next year I'm bringing more cash with me!

A three piece Palmer Classic at the blanket sale  not only caught my eye but also a few dollars from my wallet. Shot two courses with it next day and it felt like it was built for me. Weather was about as nice as one could ask for. Great shoot and hoping it'll be around again next year.

I'll have to second the New Zipper recurve limbs. Might have to get my daughter one. These limbs are super efficient and super quiet.

Well a few things caught my eye and my wallet as well. Me and the wife picked up some t-shirts, sweatshirts, I bought a few new tabs to try out. I bought some venison seasoning. I picked up a new boar target from big jim got a great deal, tried the  millennium tree seat which i will be ordering soon before hunting season very impressed with the comfort and light weight. I also was impressed with big jims three pc recurve with the micarta handle and ebony limbs, one of the best looking and most comfortable grips I felt at the show. I also got to talk to mike, jason and john at dryad bows, very nice people and there ILF recurve and longbows limbs are incredible. I dont normally shoot longbows very well but with their riser and LBX longbow limbs I cant say that anymore. Very nice. I had a blast meeting new friends and shooting with old friends. Now i just gotta start saving money for all goodies I played with this week. Brad and Kristy

ETAR was great and weather was as good as it gets.  Had a great time and did little shopping except for some shafts.  Spent as much time as I could shooting.  Ended up doing 9 courses.  Will need a week to recover.  My ring finger is a little sore.  

Did hear good reviews from the guys that took Joel Turners shooting seminar.

It was a fantastic weekend!  Bought a couple of "T" shirts and some arrow components.  I also ordered another Palmer Recurve.

I scored a dozen beautiful wood arrows that were very slightly used. I'll try to get pics up soon. Also picked up a recurve for my granddaughter at the swap meet, a clickety- clicker for the other granddaughter, some t-shirts, a neck knife, etc., etc.

Great time shooting and met lots of new friends.

The hill country bows definitely caught my attention.

Great weather too.

The new dryad 19" ilf risers are awesome. Nice and heavy and completely dead on release. And they just happened to have one that perfectly matched my limbs. I wasn't planning on buying a new bow, but it happens every year.

Awsome time at Denton Hill!!! Great weather, chatting with good friends and meeting new ones. I scored a HH Redman at the trade blanket at a very reasonable price and the bow shoots like a dream!!!

For me it was meeting and getting a signed book by Monty Browning he's great. I asked him if I could handle his old green Bear Mag recurve you know the one that he shot that huge moose with on that solo hunt a few years back. It felt nice in the hand and was neat for me to handle.

I was really impressed by Gary Hall's work as well. Talk about some sweet looking arrows !!!      :thumbsup:      Heck of a nice guy as well. Had a great conversation with Chad Weaver at the BCY booth, and stocked up on some string and serving material. Picked up a few packs of 185gr. Grizzly broadheads, and shot a few of Bill's bows. I had really been wanting to try a set of 58" Nitro limbs, and came away quite impressed. Talk about the perfect ambush bow.   :thumbsup:  

I was lucky enough to share camp with Bill & Tracy Dunn again. Couldn't ask for a better group of friends. Probably a few pounds heavier due to Tracy's cooking. That girl sure can cook !!! The weather was great, and so were the courses. Always a great time. Looking forward to 2016 already.

I also picked up Monty's book. It was great meeting him.

The only other items purchased were a few do-dads I needed like points and inserts.
Relax,
