Not totally primitive, but they are friendly to us.
Their shoots start the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month starting January 04. In 16 years they have never cancelled a shoot. Goes to 3rd Saturday after the May three day event, then another three dayer in September.
It's in Scottsburg, Indiana at the conservaton club. check out their web site.
There is a handfull of us that starting going there last fall. Great time.
Maybe Danzn Bar can add more info, I just wanted people to know it was starting.
Hope to see some of ya there, have a gooder, dpgratz

Thanks

I met him in September there. He's the one that stayed up late w/ us during the storm talking in the meeting hall.
One more thing about the ITBA shoots...they are pretty cheap, $10.00 or so non-member.
See ya next Saturday, dp

Guy,
Maybe you could make one of the two day shoots they have, one in May and one in September, I most likely will not make the one in May, got too many other commitments in May. But the one in September is great, had about 5-6 PA guys there last year.
DBar
-
I think they are the same dates as other events I am all ready involved in
May and Sept are very busy months for me !
I will keep my eyes open just in case .
-
Anyone going this weekend?
-
I'll be there come rain or shine.. ;D ;D
DBar
-
I can't make this one either. :(
-
I had a SkillsUSA welding competition cancelled last weekend and moved to the !st of Feb. Won't make the shoot unless they cancel again this weekend. Wife is feeling sorry for me now, so if all goes well there should be no reason to miss the next.
-
I'll be there come rain or shine.. ;D ;D
DBar
Looks like rain it is Bill ;D I may have some friends coming down Saturday to ice fish but if that doesn't work out then I'll be there around 9. Gotta remember to get the membership this time ;)
Tracy
-
I have to work so I won't make it. :(
-
I'm there, unless that rain or shine is in the form of freezing rain! I'll probably not have my selfbow again this week but still look forward to seeing any and all of 'yall!
-
I have to work so I won't make it. :(
That sucks :P
Talked to a member in Vernon and he said they shoot traditional inside somewhere in Scottsburg on Tuesdays.
I will be ice fishing, have fun.
-
Yeah the place in Scottsburg is TJ's Achery Barn - indoor traditional only on Tuesday nights at 7:00. It's only a couple of miles from the club. I am trying to make it to one of these shoots but my work schedule keeps geting in the way. The guys who have been say it is a good time.
Have fun ice fishing, I hope I'm not fishing arrows out of the lake .... again!
Mark
-
The guy said they have a real good time on the Tuesday night shoots. Ice is probably thick enough now that I would try to get my over shots like last shoot. Have fun and maybe catch you guys on the 15th.
Tracy
-
How was the shoot Mark/Bill?
Tracy
-
We had a great time! Pretty good turn out, the weather was pretty nice really, just a little muddy, and they had some killer vegetable soup! I noticed a number of selfbows in attendance too.
Hope we can all make it on the 15th.
-
Looks like a mix of snow and or rain is possible Saturday but I think we are heading that way regardless of the weather. Hope some of 'yall make it.
Mark
-
Can't make it to this one either >:( One of these days I'll make it back to Scottsburg.
-
I won't make it either this weekend I'm going to the NTF event in Nashville.
DBar
-
Well I hope when you guys get to come back it's sunny, mid 70's with a light breeze! Because I am so ready for that!
-
Going to a wrestling tourney in batesville Saturday. Hope to make the next one in March ;)
Tracy
-
Anybody goin this weekend? I've got the okay from the boss to go. May be bringin a buddy w/ me who shoots Trad.
-
My son and I are going along with a biddy from work.
Mark
-
Cool! I hope to be there around 9:00a.
edit: May be a bit after nine depending on the roads in the morning. We got snow, I hear it was mostly ice around Scottsburg. ??
-
I came from Seymour through Salem tonight it was all snow. I assume Scottsburg was about the same? I think I'm shooting for around 9:30 tomorrow too.
Mark
-
We have around 5"-6" of snow as of now and its still coming down. Scottsburg is down the river from me. I'm guessing they have about the same. Have fun tomorrow.
-
We had a good time today. The weather turned out to be pretty nice. The snow in the trees and around the course was really beautiful. We got to meet Derek and his friend Mike. Good event with good folks, a good day in my book.
-
Had fun. Shot second half w/ Mark and his son Austin. Great day, the birds were chirpping in the winter woods and the sun came out once in a while. Good to meet you Mark and Austin.
-
Anybody goin Saturday?
-
Going out for the wife's birthday on Saturday >:( I swear I'll make it to one of these shoots soon.
-
Derik, I'm going to be in Scottsburg for a wrestling tourney and Nate and I might try to shoot after matches.
Tracy
-
Clint and I are in a similar situation, going out for my wife's birthday too. BUT we are close enough to sneak in a trip to Scottsburg early for one round anyway. So I plan to be there with 1 or 2 kids around 9:00 "ish".
-

Not going to make this one. Gotta visit a family member in poor health.
-
It was a good time again today. We got to shoot with Bill and Derik along with some ITBA friends. It was a great day!
-
Yes it was a very nice day, Good to finally meet face to face with you and your son, Mark... :)
DBar
-
I had a great time. Hope to see ya there next time. Got two arrows back I couldn't fine in the snow last time and shot them again this time. :) Also had to ask Bill to pull one oout of the shed that I couldn't reach. :o ::) cheers, dp
-
I ain't gonna make it this Saturday. Got a student going to the State SkillsUSA welding contest on Saturday. dp
-
I'm going to a local 3d shoot with some family.
-
I think my gang is in for round this weekend. First time to have our whole group this year. Maybe we will see you guys in April.
-
There a shoot Saturday?
-
Not until the 19th. KY Tradfest is going on this weekend.
Tracy
-
This Saturday the 19th is a "blanket shoot". You can place an item on the blanket rather than pay an entry fee. Then the highest score gets first choice off the blanket all the the way down to the lowest (probably me). It's a lot of fun with a LOT of good natured heckling of course.
You also have the option of paying the regular shoot fee if you don't want to participate in the blanket shoot. You are still welcome to join in on the heckling (no fee for that)!
I plan to be there with both of my kids and maybe my extra kid too! They have been working on the course it should be a great set (as usual). Hope to see some of you all there.
Mark
-
Not sure I'll make this one with the Classic right around the corner then the three day shoot in May. :( Gonna ask the wife all the same. Maybe if I bring Silas she'll let me off my leash yet again. ;) dp
-
I understand, the three day in May happens to fall on my wedding anniversary. So far she's not too hip on camping at Scottsburg as the dream anniversary gift ....
Good thing though, Cloverdale falls on my birthday so I think I've a good angle on that one!!!

Youth turkey season this weekend. Next stop is the Classic and then the May shoot.
Tracy
-
May 17/18 is the next one right. I've got plans but might try to sneak down for a little bit Sunday
Tracy
-
I think that's the three day shoot. 16-17-18. I'm gonna try my best to make it for the day, probably won't be staying the night though.
-
Yep, 16-18 is the 3 day shoot. We are probably going to shoot Saturday and camp that night. Hopefully we'll run into some of you fine folks.
-
Well, looks like we are going to get a break in the weather! I think I'll take the senic route home tonight and stop by. Just to confirm my suspicions no one is behaving themselves. Then head back over tomorrow morning.
-
Ttt
-
Well we got off to a soggy start last weekend! There was still a fairly good turn out considering the weather. Hopefully the 17th will be a little nicer. Hope to see some of you all there.
-
Mark,
I'm planning on being there.....
How about it Tracy, Ozzy, Clint, DLH, Shane, Joe, Dave and any other PA guy reading this that is close by, let's all make it on the 17th with our selfbows and have a great time. if you don't have a selfbow any traditional bow will work! Great shoot, very good sets and good food, all at a very reasonable price.
Sound out !! and lets have some fun.
DBar
-
I'm off that day. I just asked my daughter if she wanted to go and she said yes. I guess now it just depends on the weather.
-
Hope temps moderate by then. We've got sub teens for next couple days ... but it's dry!
-
That's great Clint, I'm going to try and get my son-in-law to go now that he has a selfbow.. ??? ::) :)
Knoll, no matter what the weather is those guys at ITBA make a great day out of it. If it's cold.... I hope it stays below freezing so the ground doesn't get to sloppy. ;D
Till next time,
DBar
-
There's a nice warm building complete with good food, perfect for sitting indoors and telling lies should the weather turn bad...
-
Well, the wife had different plans. Her and the daughter are repainting her bedroom that weekend. We will try and make it to another one.
-
I'm going to try and make it. I think my son has a wrestling tournament in Jeffersonville that weekend. I'll check and go from there.
-
Well the extended forecast is looking better. Supposed to be in the 40's. May be a little sloppy but that's beats rain and / or frostbite! I will keep an eye out for you guys.
Mark
-
Son in law and I will be there around 9....Hope to see ya Mark & Tracy. Wish you could make it Clint.
DBar
-
Had a great time today ....... weather was great!!!
First time my son in law shot trad, he had a great time, and did really well shooting.
I think I may have him hooked. :)
Mark,
It was good to see you and your son..
-
Nice pics Bill. Wish I could have made it. The weather was so nice today I had to get some outside jobs done. Plus my daughter was busy painting so she couldn't have went either.
-
Bill
Wish I could have visited with you guys some more. We were busy getting our newbie friends set up to shoot. Maybe we can sit down for a cup of coffee next time!
Tell you son-in-law it was good to meet him. I promise I won't mention the compo....
Mark
-
Saw there is a shoot this,Saturday 2/7 and 50 deg. For a high. I might be able to make it early and leave by noon.
Tracy
-
I'm working that day
-
I'll be there around 8:30 or 9........
-
Hey tracy ,
Not going to make tomorrow knee giving me hell right now.... :(
-
I figure no one is planning on going tomorrow with the weather being what it is but just in case you were... They have cancelled the Feb 21 shoot.
Mark
-
Thanks for the update Mark. Probably need snowshoes,or xcountry skis to shoot the course. Although I wouldn't mind drilling a few holes in the pond and catching some nice bluegills ;D
Tracy

Things iced up here last night ... fast! Now it's snowin'. Am finally ready for spring.
