Title: NorthCarolina Traditional Archers 2009 State Shoot
Post by: nugget on April 27, 2009, 05:35:37 pm

The Carolina Traditional Archers along with the Catawba Valley Wildlife Club will host this event on May 22, 23, and 24. The event features two, twenty 3D target courses, novelty shoots, free primitive camping, restrooms, hot showers, seminars, and home cooked meals. Trophies will be awarded for men, women and children in longbow, recurve, and primitive classes.  The Catawba Valley Wildlife Club is located on Highway 10 between Highway 18 and Highway 321. Near Hickory. G. Fred Asbell is scheduled to be a guest speaker

There are many primitive shooters there and there is always a bunch of people knapping and making bows. If you are close enough to make it it will be worth youre time. I always have a blast.
For more info you can pm me or look on the CTA website.   www.thecta.org
Will be looking for all you PA members to show up.

Gathering all my stuff in one location and the dogs are getting nervous!
  Got my Art Butner hill cane arrows fletched up and ready to go. Art wants me to put them through the wringer to see if his new technique will hold up. I guess he figured with my shooting skills  :o I was the best candidate for the trials. ;D  My new KnightD special bow is ready for a real test run and I got another special surprise when I got home from the Classic, that I will be bringing too. Thanks Dano!!! :-*      ....and of course, "Herb's Bow"! I will put Herb's bow on the raffle table as soon as we get set up on Friday.  I'm riding down with Alan, Joe and ED. Should be there by noon or so.
TJ, keep reminding me about the hill cane!!!  I meant to dig it today but you know how that goes! ;D

Title: Re: NorthCarolina Traditional Archers 2009 State Shoot
Post by: nugget on May 18, 2009, 01:43:12 pm

I would make you some points to trade for the staves, if I knew how to make Clovis or Hardaway points.  ??? Also my skills as a knaper are sad to say the least.

Had a great weekend and saw lots of folks. I brought my camera but it never left it's case. ::)  I know Mrs. Hillbilly took lots of pics as well as others so we will have to rely on them to help us relive the fun and for others to see how much fun we had.

Title: Re: NorthCarolina Traditional Archers 2009 State Shoot
Post by: Hillbilly on May 25, 2009, 12:25:09 pm

We had a great time, yep I've got pics-as soon as I get them downloaded I'll post some. This is a really good shoot, already looking forward to next year. We had a pretty good representation from PA-enjoyed seeing everyone again and meeting a few people that I haven't met in person before.

I hate I missed. Work reared it's troublesome head and try as I might, I couldn't avoid it.  Now, I'm owed even more favors from ungrateful real estate agents that I'll never collect on. 
Looking forward to seeing some pictures whenever anybody gets the chance to post 'em.

I'm savin' up some peach for the September Knap-In in Burlington...consider yourselves warned.
