Whose going to the Compton Big Game Classic in Pittsburgh Mar 23-24?
I'll be giving a seminar on DIY FL Alligator bowfishing on Sat and am also looking to share a ride and a room from the Albany area of NY. I'm happy to drive, but splitting the gas cost would be nice as would the room cost.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing many of you there.
If this can work for you just drop me an Email at Terrance.Receveur@Taconic.com.
I live 45 mins from Pittsburgh. I may have to come check this out. Where is it being held at?

You won't regret it, you will have a blast
There will be a Large display of mounts at Pittsburgh like there was in Denver two years ago. It had to be 80 feet at least. Here is just a small sample

We are setting up ther. Tracey is rushing out a couple special ones she hopes to have done by then.
Tracey and I met Tino Erasmus and his family last night at the MLA banquet He is an outfitter from South Africa that has donated a hunt for the Banquet. We were very impressed by him and the operation, This will be one of many auction items at the Pittsburgh BGC

Hi All.
I'll be there giving a seminar at 1:30 on Saturday and I'll be unveiling my new business, LifeCycle Gear (http://www.yourlifecyclegear.com) , in the vendor area.
LifeCycle specializes in building high-quality longbows and recurves from sustainably harvested North American woods.
We are also building our own line of ILF equipment from native woods.
We haven't officially opened yet, but I thought I'd give visitors to this thread a sneak peek!
Let me know what you think.
I look forward to seeing some of you at the Compton show!
We are a TradGang sponsor, but our banner info isn't up yet.

Wow! Sorry that logo is so big.
I didn't mean to be so in your face!
Plan on being there Friday at opening look forward to meeting a few familiar faces and some new.
Tracey and I are looking forward to being there. For this event we will be doing 10% off on all Predator camo we have there in stock.
I should point out that David and Tracey at St. Joe River Bows (https://stjoeriverbows.com/) are among the many great bow-building partners that we have at LifeCycle Gear (http://www.yourlifecyclegear.com)
Terry,
Look forward to seeing you (i am picking up Bill Terry) at Compton as well as all you other trad-Gangers.Drive safe,see you soon.
Tommy, looking forward to seeing you and Bill again.
