Folks, right around the corner, the 2015 Pre-Spring Arrow Fling will be upon us.
Some of us are still hunting, some are finished for the year, either way, I think we'll all be ready to get out and get rid of that "Cabin Fever".
NOW, get ready! One of the hosts will no longer be the "Allsouth Archery Association". That host has given way to the "American Traditional Archer", an association that has been formed to promote Traditional Archery events all around the country.
And of course, "Compton Traditional Bowhunters" will also be co-hosting this fun event. As we all know, Compton's has done an outstanding job promoting and giving back to traditional archery not only in our country, but has helped promote traditional archery outside our country as well.
For those of you that were here last year, the kids program that Compton held here was unbelievable.
I'll be putting forth an outstanding Vendors list for you ASAP.
The dates for this event are FEBRUARY 27th, 28th & MARCH 1st, 2015. It will again be held at TANNEHILL HISTORICAL STATE PARK. Their web-site is www.tannehill.org

And, right after that delicious chili, we'll be drawing winning raffle tickets for what I'm sure will be some great packages again this coming year.

I live in NE wisconsin, and by the end of feb. i am most definitly sick of winter, and this shoot would be the cure. Its a 900mile drive for me, is it going to be worth it? are we talking lots of people and venders, is this comparable to the mi Compton shoot or Denton Hills? This shoot has really got my interest, any info about it would be great. thanks Dave

Dave, this coming year will mark the 6th annual Pre-Spring Arrow Fling. The average attendance over the past three years been approximately 500 participants.
In my opinion, some of the best Vendors in the business have attended this event.
Here are a few that have been here and hopefully plan on coming for 2015.
Acadian Woods Bows ~ Bear Archery ~ Black Widow Bow Co. ~ Big Jim's Bow Co, ~ Traditional Archery Sales ~ Byron Ferguson ~ Hunters Image ~ Eagles Flight ~ Kim Sha Archery ~ Northern Mist Longbows ~ Zipper Bows ~ JET Archery ~ Primitive Archer Magazine and many others.
Hopefully you can make it. If you PM me your email, I'll email you a preliminary flyer.

I've been to all but one Pre-Spring shoot. This really is a great shoot to attend. Terry and his crew work really hard to make it that way. The weather is usually pretty mild, highs in the low 50's and no bugs. It's a great chance to visit with friends, do a little camping and sling some arrows! I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with it.

Last year I had FIVE BOWS along with nearly uncountable other items that were raffled off. The Bows were from Big Jim's Bow Co. ~ Northern Mist Longbows ~ Legends Bows ~ Bear Archery Products ~ DAS Bow from Three Rivers Archery I feel this year, there will be even more unbelievable archery items that will be raffled off this year.

Folks, just found out today that Tannehill State Park has added four primitive cabins.
A local KOA Campground (no longer in business) donated them to the Park. They're located in the rear area of Campground # 3. Three of them will sleep two & one will sleep four.
They all have window A/C and for cold weather they each have a portable floor heater that really does a good job. No running water or restroom, PRIMITIVE, but not far from the bathhouse in campground 3.
They are close enough to Farley Field, you can walk to it.
The cost is $40.00 per night for the two sleepers and $45.00 for the four sleeper.
The cabins are really quite nice with a grill right outside and a nice front porch.
First come first serve. Tannehill's number is 205-477-5711

FYI, I open the range from 7 am til 5 pm on Friday & Saturday and 7am til 12 noon on Sunday. You all will definitely have plenty of time for flingin' arrows and then while takin' a break, visiting all the outstanding Vendors for some shopping.
Here's some folks getting ready to hit the three ranges.

Thanks Pappy,
Folks, the holidays are nearly upon us, Rhonda & I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
NOW, after the holidays & huntin' seasons shut down, when cabin fever starts setting in, you'll be ready to come and shake off the rust and start flingin' arrows with us.

Dang, I had a shoulder go south and was timing it's repair to give me part of deer season and all of tournament season, didn't take into account that I might be put on a waiting list for surgery, which I was.
I won't make the Spring Fling this year, first one I have missed in years.

Hi Harold, no problem :-)
Primitive camping at Tannehill State Park is $16.00 per night, a 15% discount for Sr. if 62 or older.
The shooting rates for the weekend are as follows. For a family of four, $55.00, as many rounds shot over the entire weekend. A single weekend rate is $35.00 and per round rate is $15.00 if someone just wants to pay by the round.
There will be 3 ranges with a total of 36 McKenzie targets throughout. Twelve targets per range spread out on some beautiful property.
Here is Tannehill State Park's web-site: www.tannehill.org
Hope you can make it.

Folks, I now have FIVE BOWS as well as other packages to raffle off for Camp Jack Wright, the Boy Scout Camp I also use to set some of my targets on. The Camp sits adjacent to Tannehill State Park.
Legends Bows ~ Northern Mist Longbows ~ Big Jim's Bow Co. ~ Bear Archery Products and 3Rivers Archery have all donated one of their bows.
Over the past several years, I been able to donate approximately $25,000.00 to this camp. The money has been used to greatly improve tails, latrines, build pavilions and other improvements.
I'd like to thank those that have helped me, not only by donators but those participating in the raffles.

I am thinking of getting back into going to trad shoots this year. But looking for shoots that they keep yardage like hunting 20 yards and less and make shots fun. Got tired of shoots where most shots are 25 and more. With my Harrison I won most around here but it was not fun so I quit. I want to have fun shooting now not just compete

They've also suggested that one of the packages I raffle off will be a youth only package, GREAT IDEA!!
Now, I'm needing youth items to go with their bow & arrows.
By the way, I can always have more than one youth package folks.

Harold, historically the average highs have been upper 50's to lower 60's and the lows have been mid to upper 30's to lower 40's for the lows.
These temp come be a little higher or lower, they've been both over the past five years.
That's all I can tell ya Harold.

Ronald, the weather for next weekend has changed daily over the past three days.
Right now, the highs on Friday & Saturday show to be in the mid to high 40's and Sunday low to mid 50's.
Chances of rain are light & fluctuating, all in all I think the weather will be fine. I'll have fire wood for some camp fires as well as a fire ring close to the registration area.
I also plan on having a couple of hot water urns with hot chocolate and instant coffee on hand (free of course).

We'll go back, varied menu for you. The butter beans and creamed corn were excellent.
By the way folks, the young lady with the concession trailer will be serving spaghetti & meatballs, salad with rolls & tea on Friday night for just $7.00 a plate for those that don't want to cook or leave the Park for supper.
She's a very good cook folks.

David, sorry you can't make it, the weekend weather looks to shaping up very nicely.
I also spoke with Matt who is taking one of the cabins.
Folks, Terry Lightle with the "Nocking Point", he won't be able to make it. Getting home from an event, his transmission blew not far from his home.
I hate that for him and certainly understand him not being able to make it, but, if had to happen, I'm glad he was getting home and not coming here. At least he's home safe.

We had about 7" of snow Wednesday night here in the middle of NC and it didn't melt yesterday. Getting out of the driveway is probably the biggest challenge, but we decided it would be best not to head out there with this crazy weather. Sorry Terry, but maybe latter this year. It's always good to get down there.
I'm sitting in the shop now with my Asbell wool jacket on. They sure are nice when the weather's cold. Thanks Teresa.
