I renewed my membership a few days ago. Now I need to see what kind of shape my new knee is in in a couple of more weeks before deciding if we'll drive the 7 hours from NM for the shoot.
I'm working hard on PT, therapy pool workouts, and home exercises. I've been down in my backyard shooting a bit when it hasn't been snowing ??. We'll see how it comes along.

Well I decided I should come up and try out my new 7 week old knee. It seems to be working fairly well at home and on the trails around my house. I may need to stay off the three arrow course but hopefully I can shoot a few rounds.
Just registered me, my wife, and my 25 year-old daughter. My daughter came up from Denver for the first time last year and had a blast. It's the only time she or my wife shoot, but they really seem to enjoy it. They don't lose as many arrows as I do either! Looking forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks.

Mark (and other CTAS board members and volunteers)--Thanks for all the effort you guys put into making this shoot one of the best trad shoots in the country. I used to drive five hours from SW Colorado to attend and now I drive seven hours from Northern New Mexico. It is a blast to shoot and well worth the dirve. It is also a great time to catch up with other like- minded archer/bowhunter friends and meet some new ones. Good to hear the site is drying out. See everyone next weekend!

There are trees and also open areas for camping, cooking is allowed , take your own water. Open fires depends on conditions don't think there is a problem this year.

Courses are laid out. What snow is left is coming off fast. There is a pretty good “pond” on the road to the corral. There were vehicle tracks through it. We might try and open up another camping area if vehicles can’t get up to the corral area. We need to make a big effort to not tear up the roads and definitely not tear up off the roads. Still plenty of camping. Bring your own water. We really never had an issue with bears but there have been bears in the camping area a couple of times. The temps should be a few degrees less than those for Buford. It was chilly at night, I am bringing a warmer bag back up with me. Should be no issues with fires, use existing fire rings. Should be another good one. See you in a few days!

Not sure when you are planning on coming up Ben but Wednesday afternoon/evening is not to early. For one can can get a good camping spot. We start putting targets out Thursday morning and helping set up is a great way to meet some folks, get a free lunch and we usually let those that help with set up start shooting early Thursday evening. Make sure and look me up, I will have my name tag on most of the time.

We can’t go around the pond because we will tear up the meadow. There were tracks through it but none of us tried it last weekend. We may open up another area for camping if the corral area is inaccessible. There are plenty of places for campers, just might be a little tighter this year.
