A little early but been getting a lot of questions on dates from people wanting to make plans and vacations and such. It will be April 29/30 May 1st 2022. It is usually held on the first full weekend of May except on years when the first full weekend in on Mother's day and that is this year , so it's a week early. Hope yall can make it, always a good time for sure. For more info, directions/ motels/about the club and other dates check out our web site[twinoaksbowhunters.org] or give me a call [cell 615-456-5961] home 931-362-3717] or email [pappy1952ct@yahoo.com.]

Pappy, I was going to ask you about the dates for the Classic too. I've had a few guys on TradGang ask so I'll post this on TG for them.
Looking forward to seeing Twin Oaks again. :OK
-

Well 3 months out today, starting to get excited already, got a call yesterday from Jesse in WI. He said he was coming this year with his family and also Dana [the yupper] in spirit [he passed last year] :( and an Elm bow Dana made for him, haven't seen him in a few years, be good to see him again. :)

It will be great to see Jesse again. Hope he brings more squeaky cheese with him again. :OK
-
I'll be there in spirit!
-
Maybe you can make it one day WB, We have a new sign for our shop, just a little tribute for a good friend that will be there in Sprite and on our minds this year, all the regulars knows where Gary's corner is, he spent a lot of time there mentoring/working and just shooting the bull over the years we thought this would be appropriate . :)
Pappy

Nice sign
Carry on the traditions
-
New buttons came in for the Classic, we have a different one for the self bow Challenge, I like them. ;)
Pappy
-
Cool buttons, Pappy. I just posted them on TradGang for you. :OK
I'm ready to be there. (=)
-
Kewl :OK ! Bob

Thanks Pat,I really appreciate you taking care of Trad Gang for me, something happened when I retired and just can't seem to get on, just ant smart enough I guess. I spend most of my o line time here anyway. ;)
Pappy
-
No problem, Pappy. I'm on TG almost as much as I am on here.
-
Wow its been 2 years since I have been there.Cant wait ,will put in for time off! Thinking of bringing my 12 foot camper.Any restrictions Pappy? Do you still have your curr dog?
-
No restrictions on camping, just fine a spot, take what you need but please don't take anymore than you need, I lost Sadie but have her daughter, half cur and half lab, her dad was a traveling man ;) :) Looking forward to seeing you and all my good friends again. CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!

This is some of what I'll be bringing to the Classic. I'll have a booth set up near the PA tent and bow shop...(https://i.imgur.com/MzU4KdC.jpg)
-
Hey Pat ,do you make the leather items? If so do you make knife sheaths,possibles bags for black powder etc.If so ,I cant wait to see you.
-
All hand made and hand sewn by me. Drop by and lets talk. :OK
-
Great looking stuff there Pat (=) ! Bob
-
Thanks, Bob. Will we see you at the Classic this year?
-
Don't believe I will make it Pat, but I'm sure I will be there in Spirit (=) ! Bob
-
Sorry to hear that Bob, would love to see ya. Pat that is some nice looking stuff, very nice work. :) We have made a few changes on the schedule of events this year, one big Change is for the competition side of the main shoot the score cards have to be turned in by 3pm Saturday and awards will be given out at 4pm right after raffle drawing and before the pot luck supper, the self bow Challenge will have to be in by Sunday 9am and awards just for that at 10 am. this will give the ones that like to shoot their new bow in a group on Sunday morning early a chance to still do that. A few other changes so look at it and see what you think, Sunday is usually a travel day for most and we feel this will work out for everyone much better. Hope you like it and please help me spread the word. Thanks. PS, the Friday date was a type O, it should say April 29 not Mar 29. Sorry :)

Pappy, I'll post this schedule on TradGang with the date correction.

That's great news, hope she will enjoy, it is getting close for sure. Still got lots to do to be ready and running wide open right now.Got 39 vendors lined up so about full, got a lot of little things to get in order but we are getting there. If the weather just be nice to us it would help but we will get through it either way. ;) Look forward to seeing yall soon. We got some new sticker for this year also, they seem to go pretty good. :)

Got the PA tent up and ready also got half the range set, how would you like to run up on this guy in the woods. ;) :)

That bigfoot target is a hoot. ha ha I hear they're decent eating but really hard to draw a tag...
-
Ya he is a cool target, I didn't think I would like him when we ordered them but i really do and the kids love it, they all want a pictures with him. ;)
More set up's. :)

That bigfoot target is a hoot. ha ha I hear they're decent eating but really hard to draw a tag...
I heard they don't exist and it's illegal to shoot them..? ;)
-
I heard one of the western states (Idaho?) has issued Bigfoot tags as a fundraiser, but I certainly can't verify that. :D
-
Skamania County, Washington, has a law on the books making it illegal to kill bigfoot. Sounds like everywhere else, though, he's on the menu.
-
Looks like it's coming together 👍
-
Yes we are getting there Brian. :) Guess we will be in double trouble then, we have 2 Big foot in the woods. :-\ I can always tell when we are getting close, when the Map goes up we are almost ready. ;) :)
Pappy
-
Pappy looking great! Love the big foot target. In the past, We had a bigfoot / wild yeti target for our snowshoe shoot. Hope your shoot is a a good one. Looking forward to seeing the pictures.
-

I am sorry to hear that Arvin but I understand your plate is pretty full right now, you will be missed, at least I got see and visit with yall this fall, we need to do that again sometimes. ;)
Pappy

I am going to try to make it this year . It's been about 3 years since I have been there . Last year I was diagnosed with crohn's disease. I am taking infusions of Remicade now so I am doing a lot better. Be good to see everybody.

It will be great to see Jesse again. Hope he brings more squeaky cheese with him again. :OK

757? Is that a record?
-
No JW , but very close, had 787 last year but , their was for sure more people this year but didn't register to shoot, that's ok, maybe we inspired some to do what we do and will be back next year with a bow. ;) Next year i am going to have our Scout troop at the gate to get a head count, their had to be 1,000/1,200 people there Friday and Saturday. :)

Great job again this year to all the twin oaks fellas. Abbey and I had a great time camping and shooting. We walked right by the two sasquatches the first time, or maybe they had vanished and reappeared. Can't wait to come back next year.
-
Man, you guys, it is so fun just thinking about all these trad bow hunters together in one place. I'm glad to know it happens. Hope I'll be able to make it some day.
