Announcing a little early, yes, ever too early, NO!!
The dates are, February 21st, 22nd & 23rd 2014.
The place is Tannehill State Park in McCalla, AL. Their web-site for camping info is www.tannehill.org
Folks, I know some of you are still enjoying your hunting season, but when you're taking a break and catching up on your "STICKBOW.COM", it's time to give you a little info on the 2014 Pre-Spring Arrow Fling.
This year is the 5th, and the 3rd since Compton Traditional Bowhunters has joined with the Allsouth Archery Association to make this a fantastic event, and they certainly have brought so much to the table.
This event has become one of the largest events of its kind in the country with some of the best Vendors in the country in attendance. I have no doubt this year will be the best yet. Seminars, trade blanket, three great courses and three fun filled days of flingin' arrows with friends and family.
A great youth area for flinging their arrows at some very neat targets, just for them. There will also be an arm guard making project for the youths on Saturday, this went great last year, so we thought we'd do it again.
As most of you know, this is a non-competitive event, so any traditional bow you use is welcome, this means tose ASA & IBO shooters can come also for some great fun and good practice with no pressure, LOL.
We'll also be serving some outstanding chili Saturday night, free to participants and Vendors.
I already have at least 6 bows to raffle off with lots of neat stuff to go with each bow. Big Jim, Northern Mist, Legends Bows, S & S Custom Archery, DAS Bow from 3Rivers Archery & Bear Archery, how cool is this.
I'm sure I'll be adding more info, such as a Vendors list a little later.
COME AND HAVE SOME FUN!!!

What's the weather like down there in Feb?
|
|
From: THarris

Date: 03-Nov-13 |

hammer, the weather for late February is normally outstanding. The average temps usually are in the low 60's for highs and 40's for the lows. Terrific weather for camping. It has bee in the upper 50's & upper 30's and one year got up to around 70.
Now, last year we had some heavy rain on Thursday night with some rain on Friday. Made for some muddy conditions on one of the three courses. Folks put their boots on and went on out for their fun. There were still slightly under 500 hundred participants here having a great time.
This is why so many of our archery friends from up north are coming down for this event.
I truly expect this year's Pre-Spring Arrow fling to be the largest and best yet.
If you'll PM me your e-mail, I'll make sure I get you a flyer.

Nick, since this is a non-competitive shoot, all distances are very reasonable. I only put one stake out.
If you're new or a youngster and as long as you stay in line with the target, you can shoot closer or farther if you'd like.
This is a fun event where you really compete against your buddies, or spouse in my case.
Come once and you'll come back.

Alright Folks, we're coming up on the New Year, it's time to start thinking of kicking off 2014's 3D season at the Pre-Spring Arrow Fling.
If you'd like a flyer, e-mail me at: [email protected]
I'll get one out to you with lots of info as well as lots of motel info if you're not into camping. Of course, Tannehill does offer some of the best camping areas you'll find anywhere in my opinion.

I live about 1200 miles away not sure if driving or flying but this shoot is worth the effort. The best location, the best people and great venders if the weather is half-way decent you will have a great time.

Plenty of area for parking & Vendors folks.
Last year because of the rainfall that came in on Thursday night, the middle course was a muddy mess.
This year, let's hope not, if rain comes in early we'll make the courses just on the outsides where the water doesn't make a quagmire.

Folks, I can't believe the Pre-Spring Arrow Fling is nearly upon us.
Let me also add again that there will be some of the best Vendors here from all around the country.
One of the new Vendors that will be here will be Terry Lightle w/ "The Nocking Point". He not only has some good archery supplies but from what I hear, if you're looking for truly good & beautiful wooden arrows, he's the guy. Now's the time to try some good wooden arrows for those Howard Hill Style bows and get ready for the "One Shot~One Kill" competition for next June's Howard Hill Classic.

Can't believe that it's so close. We are trying to put together an inventory of items to bring. We will have bow quivers, side quivers, back quivers, and back quivers. We will also have cordovan tabs, armguards, tip protectors, etc. Well, got to go get started on some of that now. See everyone there.

A few years ago there was some kind of rock and gem show going on at the same time. It was the largest show that I have seen of that type. It was sort of a blue collar event and the prices were good. I thought that it complimented our traditional archery event well. Karen found some pretty interesting stuff.

Folks, for those of you that camp in the Park, you don't have to pay an entrance fee at the Park entrance gate. Also, if you get to the Park after the General Store closes, you still can set up your camp, but please go to the store the next day and pay for camping.
For those that don't camp or stay in one of the local motels, you have to pay a gate fee, BUT, only once. If you stop by the registration table and pick up a gate pass you can come and go in & out of the Park without paying again.
DON'T FORGET TO DISPLAY YOUR PARK PASS!!
Folks, Tannehill Historical State Park doesn't get any funds from the State of Alabama, PLEASE pay the one-time entrance fee if you're not camping in the Park, it's very minimal and even less for children and us seniors.
Here is Tannehill's web-site, you can see camping fees, photos, etc.

Eagle's Flight Archery (EFA) will be there again. We enjoyed it before and are looking forward to it again. It's a lot of good people in a warm southern environment. I'd like to invite you to come early to our booth to buy bow quivers, side quivers, pocket quivers and back quivers, along with armguards, cordovan tabs, etc. Then I'll have money to spend with other vendors. One of the things that I have my eye on is another one of Mrs. Asbell's wool zip up jackets. They have a way of becoming your favorite jacket.

Folks, I know this is the PRE-SPRING ARROW FLING thread but I have to share something coming up in June for the 10th anniversary of the Howard Hill Southeastern Classic.
Many of you know I'm raffling off a commemorative Howard Hill "TEMBO". In this photo is one of the Commemorative Belt Buckles I'll be giving away to many of the winners. This buckle will go with the bow.

Folks, did I mention I have seven different bows I'm raffling off, that's SEVEN WINNERS!!
Big Jim, Northern Mist, Legends Bows, S & S Custom Archery, DAS Bow from 3Rivers Archery, Bear Archery and a youth bow & arrows from St. Joe River Bows.
I also have many, many other items to make at least 5 more packages, that means at least TWELVE WINNERS!!!
The money raised goes to the local Boy Scout Camp I also use that sits adjacent to Tannehill State Park.
Folks, the money I've donated over the past several years has gone to help repair latrines, build pavilions for shelter, lay drainage pipe, extend water lines and control fire burns to help keep down the underbrush and insects.

Are we going?? How big is your RV, can it handle four of use? I'll tow it with the big red Dodge. Sure sounds like fun but Alabama's a long way. How's your eyes? good as new? we'll see if you can shoot at least once before Susan and I head out to Florida at the end of the month, a friend of mine Ed Pickard is down there now and shooting at a range about 10 minutes from his place, I'm bringing a bow. I shot a 235 yesterday, re-tuned my "aras" to what I had them before and seem to have fewer fliers, I had added some weight to try and bring my shots to the right a bit but I don't think they were coming out as clean as they should have, just need to adjust to the sight picture and try and keep a good release and I think I can break that 250 barrier someday.

WOW!!! Just got a new "Legends Bows" Longbow from Mike Rash for the raffle. What a beautiful bow folks. I keep saying the folks in traditional archery are the best. Although my friend Mike has never been to my events, California is quite a haul, he has so supportive of my donating to the Boy Scout Camp. If you ever have a chance to meet Mike, you'll understand why it would be easy for anyone to have Mike as a friend.
Folks, this bow is only one of seven I'll be raffling. I know I spoke about Mike, but all the bows I raffle off are given by outstanding folks as well,.
Steve Turay, Northern Mist Longbows ~ Jim Babcock, Big Jim's Bow Co. ~ Joey Ramito, S&S Custom Archery ~ Steve Dalp, Bear Archery Products ~ Jonathan Karch, 3Rivers Archery ~ Dave & Tracey Belosky, St. Joe River Bows.
These people along with all the other Vendors and companies that have donated to my events are very special and committed to our sport.
That's why I always say, whenever possible, visit and buy from these folks.
Please let our Vendors know how much we appreciate them.

Yep Pappy, TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY!!
Folks, Steve Dalp called yesterday and said the Bear Bow that Bear Archery Products will be bringing with them, along with many other of their bows for display, will be their 2014 "KODIAK SATIN". Wow, I'm pumped that the winners of the Boy Scout Raffle will have so many Bows to go after.
Also. a another new Vendor will be making the Pre-Spring Arrow Fling.
I'd like to welcome Woods Water Traditional Archery.
I also got to visit with another new Vendor for the event, Joel Templin w/ JET Archery. Man he's excited to come as well.

Folks, let's add JET Traditional Archery to the Vendors list.
Now, found out Mike Yancy w/Pine Hollow Longbows has several people coming from around the country to one of his Self Bow Building Classes, so he won't be able to be here.
Folks, also just found out that Joey Romito w/ S&S Custom Bows won't be here. H'es taken a job out of State and unfortunately forgot to build the bow he was donating for our raffle.
Again, let me say, there'll be lots & lots of OUTSTANDING VENDORS here.
Things like this happen, we wish Joey well.
Believe me folks, there will be several thousand dollars worth of bows and other great stuff at the Boy Scout Raffle table.

Well, after looking forward to this for so long, I now don't think I'll be in attendance due to the death (unexpected) of my stepson this morning.
My thoughts will be with all of you this weekend.

First event of the year and with snow still on the ground (in the deep shade) we are looking forward to going further south. We will finish up a few loose ends today, tonight the guys will be here to shoot, and tomorrow we will pack to leave Thursday morning. I know that you guys from Pa., Mi, and other northern states will enjoy yourselves at this event. Good weather, good food, and good southern hospitality is hard to beat.

WOW, two days from tomorrow.
There is a Trade Blanket at around 4 PM at the registration area.
Folks, the courses are laid out, and I think they'll be lots of fun if I do say so myself.
BY THE WAY FOLKS, I only put out ONE STAKE, and that's just to line you up for the shot, if you want to move closer or further away, feel free. After all, this is supposed to be fun.
Now, the young ladies that have the food concession over the weekend, she says she'll be serving a spaghetti w/ meat sauce plate with salad, roll & a glass of tea, all for just $6.00 on Friday night. Sounds pretty good to me.
Of course we'll still have our delicious chili for supper Saturday night.
