Can't say I was but it sounds like fun.  Sounds like your dad has jumped into the primitive side with both feet.  Good job.

i was there too, but only for saturday morning :'( i finally me Ryan, Adam Kieper, and Hole in the bow Chuck.
Your right it was a great time, and the one course was especially cool. I think they called it Cardiac Ridge. and for good reason! i only lost one arrow the whole time too!

I didnt see quite as many selfbows as last year, but it might be that i was actually shooting this time around. Ill be camping for sure next year.
