Wasn't going to make the trip.....but at the last minute I made a mad dash down to Denton Hill for the day. Long haul just for a few hours but always worth the trip. Saw a bunch of folks from here on the site. Picked up a few things including a bow. All in all a good day.

Loving it! Bought all 3 granddaughters new bows. We have been tearing up the courses. Enjoyed a terrific seminar by Tom Clum Sr. and Joel Turner. Shooting better than ever and the grandkids are wearing me out.

Visited with Gregg Coffey and many other great folk.

We are here until Monday.

Made the trip for Friday and Saturday. Had a great time as usual. The courses were in good shape, and had the best weather I can ever remember there.
I had a terrific conversation with Alan Pope and his wife. Very nice people. It kind of makes me wonder if one more Blacktail couldn't hurt.    :)

My...sixth trip there I think, and easily the best weather ever.  Had an absolute blast, both at the BCY booth and later hanging out with friends.  Spent a good bit of time at BCY while up that way, even got to tour the new building they are moving into soon (outgrew the old one).  Already making plans for next year!

I neglected to mention the best part about Denton Hill for me...meeting fellow string makers and getting to talk about and handle string material all weekend!  Doesn't get any better for me!
