              Pros : you can't have a better time in archery for the money spent! Great folks put it on and attend. I could go on but no need just go !
              Cons: 5 hr. drive :-( but I go anyway. Church camp plastic covered mattress! But if you take a sleeping bag you won't sweat to bad. I go anyway! One of the best in Texas. That's why I go anyway.

                    What happened to the "Dreams come true" or what ever the name of that other one at Chester last year?

                      Bill, one suggestion you might consider. If y'all put out the cobra again this year you might want to put scoring instructions next to the target. The rings are so small that it's easy to confuse an 8 and 10.

                        Ronnie, sad to say that they decided not to put on another shoot. They lost money. They put on the shoot at the request of one of the kids that they helped. They came to us, when they had trouble getting a club in Louisiana to work with. They are a great bunch of ladies.

                        ballgame: that is a good idea and will do. Not only small, but it has multiple scoring areas.

                            biggest con for me:
                            Too busy
                            This is the 32nd year, have only shot for score twice in 32 years.
                            Nan says I am to stop, relax, and shoot Saturday afternoon
