Vanderpool- What can you Say....

[axisbuck24]

I had a great time at Vanderpool once again. The weather was great and got a chance to gather with a group of great folks. Caught up with old friends and met some new ones. Only regret was not having enough time to socialize more with everyone.

Kudos to TBOT officers, Bugscuffle and all those who volunteered; you did a fantastic job and we appreciate your efforts.

I am always amazed by the generosity and warmth found in the bow hunting community; however, the compassion I have received from my traditional bowhunting family is truly amazing. I am so glad that traditional archery is alive today and my that tradition live for generations to come!

Good times with good people. Can't get any better than that.

It was our first time there and my wife was talking about next year before we left.

We had a great time and met so many wonderful folks.

Thanks to all for a great time.

[jmark100]

agree

[Savage]

Great shoot and a very challenging course. My whole crew had alot of fun. It was really good to finally put a face to some of the names. Looking forward to next year!

[Deb]

We had a blast.

[clearmusik]

Lots of fun, Arvin made a string for my 70" bow met and shot with some good people and lost/destroyed 6 arrows, but hey ive got all year to practice for next year just want to say thanks to TIM N Austin and Kyle from Houston for bieng patient and shooting a round with me.

[bob sarrels]

Great time as always. Weather had me worried a bit yesterday morning but it turned out great.

[Ron Meloni]

Lots of fun for sure. Jacob and I had a great time.

Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY (a day belated) to Mr. Larry Harris.

Like Tim said, it was great to finally put faces to screen names and emails. Looking forward to Chester.

Happy bIrthday Larry and DEb!

[Savage]

Unfortunately it looks like I won't make it to Chester Ron. I have Army training that weekend. Never fails!

[Lino143]

It was a very good time. I would like to say thank you to everyone for embracing me and my son. I am so very thankful to Ron for getting me and Justin into this sport!! I am amazed at the kindness of ever person we meet!!! Thanks again!! Lino

[gatorgar]

Ron, you are taking Jacob and Justin to Chester, right?

I think the weather made this shoot fun. 30 mph winds made arrows stick not the targets at 45* angles, you could not hold your bow steady...I loved and hated it at the same time, lol.

[Loreva13]

Sounds like everyone had a blast! Got to mark the calender and make it out there next year.

[Ron Meloni]

That's right, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEB!!! I totally forgot. Loved hangin out with you guys. Hey Deb, I ate fried chicken the whole way home.

Alex, I hope we can make Chester. Looks like we will, and yes, Justin will be tagging along with Jacob and myself.

[jreyna920]

Ya Lino.... I think Justin had a good time.... He's got some luck too

[Ron Meloni]

Justin owes that one to Alex.

[Lino143]

yes, he does. I would like to thank you a bunch, Alex. Justin talked about you the whole way home. Then he talked with mom the rest of the night about you.

Thanks for getting him the ticket!!!! You are the best!!!

[gatorgar]

I am owed nothing for i did nothing. Justin won that arrow fair and square and he held the winning ticket, I was just the delivery dude. d

[Jason Sanders]

Had a great time for my first shoot! Also got an Arvin Weaver selfbow and Bounty Hunter arrows! The course claimed three of my new wood arrows and one of my carbons! There is room for improvement on my part. Met some new friends and wanted to meet more but so little time! Overall it was a great weekend!

Boy, howdy, you're set up now. Everything was so busy that I don't even remember seeing you.

[gatorgar]

He was there Friday afternoon, if I am not mistaken. Did you end up getting he first or second one you tried out Jason?

[bountyhunter]

Yes the BH crew had an awesome time!!!! It was wonderful to see old friends, meet some finally F2F and make some new friends. We are very tired, but it was worth it to have so much fun. I don't think you could find any other event with such a great group of folks anywhere in the world!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone that made it possible for such a great shoot!!!!!

That probably won't happen Deb. Not so much her, but me. I don't care to drive that monster on those narrow windy roads and towing a car just makes it tougher. I know , I'm a wimp.

Ended up getting the second one with the wavy limbs and horn tips! It's a shooter and looks cool too!

[Thunderwolf13]

i hated to miss this one sounds like it was a good one, but i was at a wounded warriors banquet and hog hunt this weekend. and it really opened my eyes to what our men and women in all branches of the military have sacrificed and done for us to live peacefully and do the things we do here in the united states. Didnt mean to change this forum i just wanted to give a big thank you and my appreciation to all men and women in the armed forces.

[jreyna920]

We missed you at this one Caleb but sounds like you had a good cause to attend and that sounded fun too. You coming to Chester?

[Ol Man]

Well I made it to one finally - shoulder was really messed up so I couldn't even shoot one round. Had a great time visiting with all my friends and meeting up with new ones. It is truly amazing just how many good friends have come to me through trad archery in Texas! I honestly can say that shooting at one of these events to me anymore is probably almost at the bottom of the list!

Deb, that was probably when you were raiding Ron Maloni's cooler!! Happy B-Day Miss Deb!! Ron, if you come in the right way you miss 95% of those little twisty winding roads and steep grades. I got it all mapped out for taking my 5th. wheel next year. And I finally got to meet Jo Ann!!!

[Deb]

^^^ I pulled a raid on the cooler 'cause I was hungry. He told me the night before to help myself.
