Lived in McAlest most of my life till I moved in '05, but never owned a trad bow during that time. Now I wished I had.

Just found this on Facebook:
"The Southern Plains Traditional Shoot at McAlester is on. Shoot dates are Aug 5 & 6. Shooting starts as soon as day light permits. Longbow and recurve shoot on Saturday. Selfbow shoot on Sunday.
For questions contact Dan Becker @ 405-974-0518 or Chuck Witte @ 405-990-3323.
As for all the particulars I don't have answers. I am mostly out of the loop due to complications.
I hope everyone has a great time."

We should try to get some of us TG'ers gathered and shoot a round together. I know I had a great time shooting with Jason (jt85) & Darren (can't remember his screen name right now) a couple of years ago. I need to shoot a round with Michael so he can show me how it's done!

That'd be fun!

Tony, Michael would be the one.  I was having all kinds of trouble with my shooting and he gave me some good instructions.

I don't doubt it, Gordon. The guy is good. I might see if I can get him to teach me how to hunt, too. He just lays them down every year!

Please post times when available, would like to attend and meet up with and shoot with some TG'ers!

Sorry guys, I didn't mean to run Michael off by trying to get free lessons...   :biglaugh:  Just kidding. Michael, I'm sorry you're not gonna make it. Have a good time in MI.

Everybody else, I'm still game to shoot with other TG guys. But I will warn you, I'm notorious for running later than I'd like, so it may be at a hotter part of the day. If someone wants to pick a time & place to meet up, I'll try to make it on time....

Tony, I think Michael was just afraid you'd beat him this year.

Post by: Michael Arnette on July 20, 2017, 02:03:00 PM
Hope you guys can meet up and sorry to miss it. I'm just glad you won't be able to see how bad I've been shooting lately   :biglaugh:

You'll be there all weekend won't you Terry? My wife just asked me what I wanted for my birthday and said I don't know but I bet The Nocking Point will have something I need.

Yes will be there Friday thru Sunday.Sheila says she can even put a bow on whatever you need,but not the arrow slinging kind!

I may not be able to make it to this year's shoot after all. A very close friend of mine passed away yesterday and his "Family only" service is Sat. at 2 pm. I'm not sure if I can make it early and be done in time to make it to the service on time. However, I would REALLY like to be able to shoot a round with his longbow. So, if I make it, it's possible that I'll be hitting it early and leaving. I'll try to let everyone know for sure as soon as I know what I'm doing.

Tony take time for your friend Saturday then bring the longbow out Sunday if that's possible

Post by: Fattony77 on July 30, 2017, 07:24:00 PM
I'm scheduled to work on Sunday, and I think it's selfbows only on Sunday. But, if I can get that day off, I may just do something like that. I was just thinking that it would be cool to shoot it with his longbow. Thank you, guys.

That its would, best of luck Tony!

Only selfbows can turn in a score card but anybody can shoot Sunday.
Title: Re: McAlester Ok trad shoot
Post by: Fattony77 on July 31, 2017, 07:48:00 PM
Good point, Jason. If I can get the day off, I just may do that.
Title: Re: McAlester Ok trad shoot
Post by: Fattony77 on August 01, 2017, 07:51:00 PM
My Lt. gave me Sunday off, so I will be doing exactly that. Shoot a round with his bow & a round with my selfbow, if there's time. Anybody know what time they stop taking shooters on Sunday?

Anyway, sorry for the hijack. Hope to see & meet some of y'all there!
