I gotta say it is one of the few places I've been that I actually felt welcome and not just welcome to spend my money. The Twin Oaks guys really went out of their way to let you know that you really were welcome.Ronnie

Caveman:
so whats this classic thing really about. for the most part, I hear alot of archery. not having even begun to have a bow, shafts, or points ready, I feel I'm really missing out. I have a deep and sincere need to excel in all things primitive. I know it may sound lame to a few of you but I have this unknown determination within me to know all that I can, but with so little time and even less hands on training... I dont know how to get on the lvl I want to be on. I would feel much better learning directly from a veteran of the crafts. I have a tendency to falter otherwise.

DanaM:
Caveman pick up the new issue of Primitive Archer magazine, there are some good articles in there on the Tennesse Classic and peoples
experciences there. The Classic is a shoot open to selfbows and FG bows, and then there is a selfbow challenge, you bring a stave or buy one there
for a minimal price, build the bow and shoot it for score on Sunday. there is bow building going on from before sunup to long after sundown. Lots of veteran bowmakers there to lend a hand and offer tips. In addition to the bow building you will most likely find people practicing fire making, arrow building, string making, cordage making,
atlatls, flintknapping etc. As if this wasn't enough there is good food, ,aking new friends, reuniting with old friends and an all around good time :)

As for you wanting to excel in all things primitive, there are no shortcuts, it takes hard work, dedication and time. And just when you think your really good at something someone else comes along even better. But thats just life in general, I see your only 23 years old you have many years ahead of you to practice, don't be in a rush rather take your time and savor each new experience. Life is short so why rush through it :)

Little John:
Caveman - this is definatley the place for ya. Any way you have plenty of time to get a bow made before handand make one there also.

Pat - You are right, a primitive air matress might come in handy at the Classic. If the water rises too much during the night you could just float around on your bed and not have to make a run for the primitive car.

Pat B:
It's all about the journey and not the destination!   I hope the destination is never achieved because then the fun is over!
   If I could only go to one archery event a year , the Classic would be it! 8)  You will learn more about building wood bows and be able to discuss wood bow building with some of the best wood bow builders around...and you will walk away with a feeling of accomplishment and a beautiful bow you made yourself. Throw in eating good food, laughing until your belly hurts and best of all becoming a member of the Primitive Archer family; what more could you ask for.
