Do most of the bowyers bring a decent selection of bows? I've got some $ I've been saving and it's time for a new longbow!

It varies We all bring what we have but some may have a few, some more.  We will have about 14 or 15 Longbows and about the same number of Recurves.  

Just a week away, see you all there

I got a phone call from Steve at Northern Mist today...my bow will be done in time for Compton, but unfortunately he has had a severe eye infection, and can't drive until Thursday.  He wont be able to make it to Compton this year.  Glad he is doing better, and i know the extra wait for him to ship it will be worth it.

Educate me on the course, please.  I am planning on coming up and my nephew coming with me.  Is the course flat, or more like cloverdale, up and down creeks?  He is recovering from a knee injury and on the fence with it.

It's not to bad.......I have 2 knee replacements and I really have no problem, no real big dips or hills.
