Jeff,
Have a safe trip!  Remember to turn right at St. Louis or thereabouts! (lol) >:D!  Sounds like shining no times!  Not sure which route you are taking, but usually I-70 is the more direct, although there is about 100 miles of mountains to go through.   Perhaps we can get together on your way back, as we are halfway between Denver and Cheyenne and could meet up in either.  I am hoping to be able to make it to MoJam again this year in July, hopefully it will be a bit cooler and dryer than last year!  That reminded e why I moved to Colorado!  Have fun! (SH) :KN :BB

One other thing, shoot the Ranges. There is always so much going on I've shot the Range maybe twice in the last 5 years. And I'm bringing lots of Tonkin cane.

I am more inclined to shoot the course than build a bow.  I am pretty confident in my building skills, but  I don't know that I would have enough time to do the build a bow challenge, and I have never shot a 3-D course.  Maybe we can shoot it together, Mullet--I would really enjoy that if you are game.

Sounds like fun, Jeff. I'll be there a week or to early. I'm not hard to find. I'm usually camped with the other old guy with the long beard.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Sounds like a great time, guys.  Wish I could drag the family on a field trip from Wyoming.  It makes me happy knowing stuff like this goes on.  T

Best piece of advice I can give you after going twice is this:

DON'T SLEEP!

Stay up as late as you can, soak it all in, talk to EVERYBODY, and wear a badge or nametag with your Primitive Archer handle so folks can recognize you.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

just wanted to add that if you plan on staying late hang on to some cash for the end, sometimes certain vendors will cut people a deal so that they don't have to pack up as much stuff  (lol)

If you really want to get the most out of the classic just keep coming back yr after yr, I believe this will be my 11 yr and missed last yr for a first. Lots of stuff going on, check out the spirit wall. Lots of different trades going on and more Osage than any one can imagine. I have made friends from all over this great country of ours, I actually came home with a dog one yr from the classic. Best dog that I ever owned.  Hope to see ya there , Bob

Yes, what JW says is what I live by. I sleep very little and soak in as much as possible. Make sure to go see the spirit station. It’s a gooder!

Definitely visit the spirit station. Find a little time and collect your thoughts there.
