Post by: james parker on March 30, 2017, 09:48:08 pm

I hope everyone is ready for the 2nd annual Tenn.Classic laminated bow challenge,last year we had a very good turnout of participants,and everyone successfully finished a bow from one of the blanks that I had at the Classic. this year  will be just as much fun,also this year I will be offering a bamboo backed 50s style recurve,along with the bamboo backed r/d longbow blanks.
the blanks : bamboo backed osage, bamboo backed ipe, these blanks will have various  riser wood and underlays from many different species,so each one will be different, they will also have various dye colors and patterns,( if anybody wants one natural please let me know soon)
all bow blanks will be 140.00 each,includes tip overlay materials of different kinds and string material,Eddie Parker will be making every ones string for them  :o ::) ha ha
their will be also a 1st,2nd and 3rd place prize for those who choose to compete in the laminated  challenge.
this year their will be a prize for the worst score too,,probably sulfridge
I will be getting some pics of the blanks post in the next day or two,,,,,james

I thought Greg wouldn't be there.
 Looking forward to seeing your new bows, James.
Is the whole family coming too?

Well...things don't look good. As of right now, I won't be there for the Classic, but should get to swing by the weekend prior to. So unless you get there really early Pat, you won't get to see me :P  However, if things change, you better believe I'll stay till Pappy runs me off!  When are you showing up James Parker?

All I gotta do is sneak a couple steel drums onto the course somewhere to make you lose your focus, or a small flock of pink flamingos  (SH) :D

There has to be a kill zone somewhere on those steel drums  ;D

Greg, I'll be there Monday so if you're lucky you will get to see me.
 Clint, the whole drum is a kill zone...for arrows!  ;D

You are coming down early this year Pat?  That's good news.  You will enjoy the quieter days early in the week.

Just a day early, Clint. Bob and I got there on Tuesday last year. I do enjoy the earlier days cause I get more time with friends. The weekend is always hectic.
