I keep hearing about how big the Tennessee Classic is, but I've never been. I was gonna go last year, but then saw the weather report with all kinds of rain that weekend, so I decided against it. I am hoping the weather will be much better this year. And I am thinking of trying to make it up there. I will be done with school and my internship will be over, so I will be definitely have the time. I've heard that this event is now the biggest primitive archery gathering in the world. Well, should I go? What is it like? And what should I bring if I do go?

Don't let a little "liquid sunshine" stop you from going to the coolest shoot in the world! It rained every day I was there last year and it was great anyhow... :) I wouldn't miss it for anything this year. :)
-
I've been going for 11 or 12 years now and would not miss it for anything. and as far as the rain goes. Well its gotta rain some time but I will say you will have the best time.
-
Billy, I've been going for years and it's rained like a cow peeing on a flat rock every single year. I've also had a ball every year and enjoyed myself to the maximum amount allowable by law and then some, never really noticed the rain. There's about an acre of covered sheds down there to stay under when it's raining, anyway.
-
When I went I almost got killed by a tornado on the way home. I haven't been since...... 8)
-
The short answer YES
-

-
Whats a little rain, theres plenty of covered area to build bows, flintknapp, bs, eat, drink, well you get the picture, you'll have the time of your life.

Re: Should I go to the Tennessee Classic?
Billy you should have your butt kicked for such a question. We just need to find someone tough enough to do it ;D Hope you can make it Bro. It would be nice to meet you in person. At least then I would have to listen to Dave Cheney trying to tell me stories then wonder if it's true :o :o
-
All right All right!! I'll do my best to get my butt outta GA and head for the high country up there in Tennessee. I don't know yet what my schedule will be with work, but if there is an opening....then I will be there!
-
Billy where in Ga. are you?
-
Billy, The wife and I will be heading North through Atlanta. Give me a shout if you want a ride.
-
i would have to say yes also. You won't meet any nicer group of guys that run the shoot and I think one of the best courses you will run across. Also, if you want to meet everybody on the PA Wall come to this shoot, they will be there, from all over the globe. And yes there will moonshine if not sunshine. We shot half the course last year and could of got the 2nd side of the course in with no rain, but the guys wanted to take down one of our big canopies while it was dry. You are talking well over three hundred and fifty shooters alone, and alot more just having a good old country time, and I haven't even mention about the Saturday night feast they put out. Just go, you'll love it. Brother Dan

Well guys, it looks like things are working out so I will be able to make it up there to the classic, my first time ever! I'm so jazzed ya'll, I just can't wait to come and see what this thing is all about.
I'll be bringing a case of my prettier bird points, as well as one of my replica California Hupa bows and a case that has some stone points I've used to kill animals from squirrels to turkey to deer.
-
I can't believe you all would let a little rain get in the way of coming to this great event. Like you all are made of sugar and are gonna melt or something! If Sarah can hack it.... ;D
We can't wait to see you all.
;D
-
Dang Marie did you just take a swipe at Sarah?
-
Dang Marie did you just take a swipe at Sarah?
NO!!! O:) I would never do that! ;) O:) O:) Just sayin' Sarah's braved the rain the past 4 or 5 years.... either she's super tough or some of you all are... well never mind.
But in all fairness Sarah and I do attend the classic "Princess style" we stay in a hotel... BUT BUT so does Eddie so maybe he's a princess too or made of sugar or just making sure that Kathy is happy. Who knows?!?!?!?
>:D
