16th Tennessee Classic

--- Quote from: hedgeapple on April 05, 2013, 12:51:45 am ---Several folks on this thread and others have asked to shoot a someone else's bow. I've only shot bows made by GMC and the one Blackhawk made for me. So I had this idea that might be of interest to some at the classic. We get together as a group Saturday morning to shoot the practice course. Each station or 2 we switch bows to shoot one made by a different person. Anyone interested?

Grouping according to draw length and draw weight would help, but still some guys are pretty touchy about someone else pulling their bow.

JW, I completely understand your comment. I shoot 26" draw and I wouldn't want someone pulling one of my bows 31". But with a group of experience bowyers, I wouldn't have much a problem trusting them not to over draw me bow. But, I'd probably still put a rubber band around my arrow for them as a reminder. Still this type of shoot would not be everyone's cup of tea. And I respect that.
I relate asking someone if I can shoot their bow to asking someone if I can take their Harley for spin? It's a very personal thing.
With the right bunch of folks this could be a fun outing, though.

Sounds like fun,ask around and try and put something together,I would like to but I suspect I will be pretty busy about then. ;) ;D ;D at least I hope I am. ;) 19 days for me, getting excited. :) Sure bring it Clain,like Jon said I use everything or know someone that will. I use to use it a lot but like Pat said takes a while to dry if you try putting it on like Tru oil. :)
