Pappy said there are tents already popping up.

Me and my boy are heading down from PA early Wednesday morning. First time for us and he's excited about building his first self bow.

Pat B · April 23, 2021, 09:34:00 PM

Well, Tim, you and your son are heading to the right place. Tell Pappy hey for me.

Pat B · April 24, 2021, 10:52:20 PM

Just follow the signs...

We went down today and dropped off a few things at our site, and will be back to stay soon!

Shot through the practice course while there. It was a beautiful afternoon to be out in nature! On #15, my buddy had a really loud hit on the elk. I though he had hit a drainage tube or some kind of pin that holds the sections together. When he pulled out his arrow, we found this...

Yep, he shot his carbon into a glue on field point that had pulled off in the target. What are the odds?!

Ye Olde Doe, always good to see the Walkers, tell Stanley I said Hi. Hope Chris and his wife will be able to make it also.

Never a dull moment at Twin Oaks. Is that considered a Robin Hood?

Pat B · April 26, 2021, 10:29:34 PM

Vender's area cleaned up and ready to go...

Friend · April 27, 2021, 04:26:47 PM

Three more days....My personally favorite event....will be attending all three days.

Am hopeful to see many of the Trad Gang family in attendance.

Friend · April 27, 2021, 07:42:25 PM

Approximately two hundred have already made it to Twin Oaks.

Pat B · April 27, 2021, 07:55:42 PM

Sounds like it's gonna be a blow out. Good thing they have 400acs there.

Basinboy · April 27, 2021, 10:52:35 PM

I'm going to make the drive up Thursday but won't make it there till Friday morning. Hope to meet everyone while there.

Looks like the weather is going to clear by Friday morning and we should have some beautiful weather!

My favorite weekend of the year is almost here.

Roy from Pa · April 28, 2021, 08:58:00 AM

Cool but it won't be the same event without rain and mud:)

SlowBowKing · April 28, 2021, 09:53:34 AM

Should be plenty of mud from the rain today and tomorrow. My goal for this year's shoot is no Xs and to stay upright...last time out I accomplished neither!

Pat B · April 28, 2021, 09:57:33 AM

Guys, please post pics for us folks that won't be attending.

I've never attended this shoot before. I wanted to come early and camp this year, but due to family obligations (aka babysitting) and a local shoot on Sunday, I will only be able to drive down on Saturday. I hope to meet some other TradGang members while I'm there. See ya Saturday.

This is an update from Shawn(Snag)...

"Update form the Tennessee Classic Had about 20-25 selfbow challenge folks signed up and working already. Weather been really nice, couple showers Wed. Today Thursday we have a big band of storms going to come thru at 0700 or so. Maybe showers on Sunday but Friday and Sat will be high 70's. I would say Tues -Wed had the biggest crowd and campers I have ever seen. Bottom was full on left side and right side was getting 50% by Wed at 1400hrs."
