Tenn Classic

<< < (2/21) > >>

Hillbilly:
What Pat said........he expressed it perfectly and saved me a lot of typing :) We had a GREAT time (although in retrospect I probably should have slept sometime during the weekend), and met some of the finest folks that I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. I'll try to post some pics when I get home from work this afternoon-just made it home last night in time to wash off the mud, pick off the ticks, and fall into bed. Didn't take as many pics as I should have, so much interesting stuff going on that I forget to pull the camera out sometimes.

Dingleberry:
  Yeah, the TN Classic was a hellova good time. Got to meet all kinds of people from around the country and world(Marius).  It was especially nice to meet the PA Forum folks for the first time. Got some great advice and instructions on bow building, arrows, flintknapping, beer drinking, beer drinking and flinktknapping :D, etc......

The courses were well layed out and great fun to shoot; although it seems like I/we were doin more searchin for arras then hitting the target ;D The facilities were top-notch and everyone who wanted to make a bow was doin it, and like Pat said, with the help of all kinds of people.  The only complaint I have, is that during one of the nightly announcements, some "local" was speakin some ancient european language and I couldn't understand a lick of it :D.....at least he looked like a local with that huge beard and all.
Well, to sum up, it was a great event and look forward to goin next year. 
Thanks Pappy et al... :)

Hillbilly:
Jonathan, you think we can talk you into coming to Hickory?  ;D

I'll add my thanks to the great folks who put on this shindig.  Looked like a lot of work.  The family and I had a great time and I enjoyed meeting you all.  Ate too much, drank too much, talked too much and came home with a nice piece of Alabama hedge as a memento.

The highlight of my weekend was hitting one of the aerial targets using a selfbow.  Granted it was on my last arrow but hey I am slow to warm up and the arrows were carbon.  Might've hit 8/10 with cane.  Yeah, thats the story.

My other memorable event was finding the scoop on that busload of Michiganders with the funky horn.  Anybody hear that horn?  Anybody NOT hear that horn (what are ye deef?!)?  I walked by and they didn't blow it, so I stepped up on the bus and asked if they only blowed it for women or something.  They said they'd honk if I took my shirt off, so I did and they did by golly.  Men of their word.  Manly men.  Then they gave me a beer, and some bacon-wrapped BBQ chicken the next day.  Fine bunch, though I hear there were mascot kidnappers amongst them.

We had good neighbors at the campgrounds too, Jonathon and his hot salsa and the fellow who does re-enactments at Martin's Crossing in VA (gotta check that out someday).

That is a little of my experiences.  Lennie

Pat B:
Lennie, Your beer was excellent. I'm usually not a dark beer drinker but that slight taste of cherry gave it a wonderful flavor. I enjoyed meeting you and your wife.
I heard the horn from that bus also quite a bit was didn't take my shirt off for them...not even for a beer. ::)
I think we all ate too much, drank too much and definitely talked to much but besides laughing too much and shooting what else was there.  ;D Pat
