Pappy, I sent you a PM with this same info, so it doesn't get buried in the responses:
I don't need to have a different spot if I can just park my Ranger and the 16' Casita out the back of the shed where I was last year beside Chad's BCI setup. The flute folks did it the same way a couple of years back. (That's what got me interested in Casita trailers.)

Thanks Richard, glad you enjoyed it. Wished you were closer but understand. The IBO was great fun but the Classic is like a big family reunion with a shoot thrown in the middle of it.Lots of camping/cooking/shooting/flint napping and bow building going on and usually some very good vendors to get your supplies from. Just a great overall time had by all. Pappy

Yep the creek can rise for sure, heard that saying all my life and never knew when it came from. Cool, Well I am pretty sure they aren't going to rise so we will see you there Drew.We had a lot from the east last year and also FL.Really appreciated that' it helped the event to be a great success. Usually get a bunch from west of the Miss. but last year with all the flooding many couldn't get there and the Northeast/Southeast and south made the difference. Thanks for that. Pappy

I was there for my 1st time 2 years ago. Spent 5 days and honestly never had a better time anywhere. Will not make it this year but someday will be back. Lille of years I hope to retire and it might get easier to get away. When I was there I bought a leather side quiver from a vendor but cannot remember his name. I love it and keep getting asked about it. Can anyone help me with the gentlemans contact info. Thanks in advance, Brian

Been shooting a bow for 60 years and as a kid was dragged to shoots every weekend so I have been to a lot of them. As an adult I select the shoots I want to go to. As long as I can remember back this shoot is one of the BEST. Pappy and the gang do an OUTSTANDING job putting on this shoot and making everyone feel right at home.
It is a bucket list event.

Pappy I was there a little less than 5 yrs ago. Seen your posting and headed out to met you. Had my 13 mo old great grandson with me. Thought I would be there for the Classic (2wks), but it didn't work out. So this year having moved from VA to Indiana, I will be bringing 4 kids. My question,is this just Fri-Sun or can you get there earlier. We have a tent and truck to camp in.

Nice Clyde, We have found a few on my place but just stumbled up on them, haven't really been out looking. Guess I should take the time to do that more. About a month now until the Classic, hope the rain will get it out of it's system by then. All we have had this winter is rain. Looks to be pretty for the weekend so maybe I can get something done around the club. Pappy

Picked up our new trailer yesterday. No sense unhooking it from my truck, since I would just have to hook it back up Sunday. Lot more room inside now, so Nancy, Joshua, and I will no longer be bumping into each other!

We have not been to the Classic in 4 or 5 years. We really enjoyed it, but something always interfered with making since. In fact, we were expecting that one of our sons would be competing this weekend but that has just changed. Looks as though we might come down for the weekend. How's the parking situation been? I remember it being kinda difficult to find an open spot.

Post above says they put in a new gravel driveway for the large open field on the lower level, left side at bottom of hill, behind some of the vendors. Should be plenty of room now. And it is LEVEL!

Hello, it has been a long-time since I've been on this forum, but I now live in Nashville and am getting back into trad archery. Was about to order a bow on- line, but I just realized this event is in my backyard and this week! I obviously don't plan to shoot, but I would love to look at and handle some bows, get pointers, and possibly buy and get set-up with someone who knows what they are doing. I'm guessing that this would be the place to be for that?

Yes, head over to the Classic and you will be like a kid in the candy store with the assortment of traditional bows available to try out....you like the curved bed riser recurve bows of the 70s made by Bighorn? Stop in and see Steve Kitchens on the cabin porch, he has several....the other vendors set up has their custom and trade-in bows....so get there early enough to whet your appetite of trying several bows...good luck and I almost guarantee you will make the Twin Oaks club's activities a part of your Nashville experience....Buck Hollow Bowhunters over in the Dickson area is another venue you will want to check out...they are camped at the Classic all weekend...

Josh, definitely go visit at Twin Oaks this weekend. You will be overwhelmed I think. Allow lots of time, you won't find better people and vendors, plus they ha e 3D practice range set up so you can shoot for fun if you want, or try out some bows while you are there. You can't go wrong.

I just got home from "The Classic"; I am so glad I went despite the rain! Met some great folks, learned a little, bought my recurve, arrows, shooting glove, and bow-stringer. Have to say thanks to "Preacher" and "Big Jim" at Big Jim's Bow Co. Preacher answered all my dumb rookie questions and helped me get set up and I'm so excited to start shooting when the rain clears!

We had a great time. Around 4:30 in the afternoon on Saturday, the rain stopped long enough for our family to shoot all of the main course before dark. We had the entire course to ourselves. How often does that happen! We shot the practice range this morning before heading back home.

Rain it did and I learned some valuable lessons from it...
Wet strings are not the same as dry strings. Using the index feather on your nose is a loser if it is gets wet. Never laugh at your buddy that just fell down in the mud. Well, at least until you are on dry ground - lol. Karma has does not play favorites.
Thanks again!

I want to share this awesome selfbow made for me by a friend in TN. I picked it up at the TN Classic. He’s a very talented and accomplished selfbow maker in the selfbow breeding grounds of Twin Oaks Bowhunters. There is a ton of knowledge there and they share it freely. It’s there for the asking.
This bow has a lot of sentimental value in it. For several years I visited Twin Oaks for the IBO World Championship. The wood came from that property, it’s 9-10 years old. Shawn chased the ring and Pappy (Mark B.) cut the outline. Shawn then floor tillered the bow, and continued to scrape and tiller like a madman to get to around 43@28. He left it at around 45# because selfbows lose some after they are shot in. He then put some deer antler nocks on it, also harvested in TN. Shawn also carved that grip and shelf and “put a little flip (reflex) in the bow. No hand shock and so quiet it’s scary.
There is another reason the bow is special, Shawn and I have an Army background, and the writing on the bow is all Army related. (See pics) I’m blessed to have this bow and blessed with great friends! I was invited to stay at Shawn’s home, I was welcomed with warm greetings and treated like a king by him and his wonderful wife. It was a trip I’ll never forget, and I’m honored to share this with you all.
If there is a better trad shoot in the country, I’ve never been to it. This is my first TN Classic and won’t be my last. With 570+ registered traditional shooters and tons of vendors, and of course the hospitality of Twin Oaks, it’s a fantastic event! Twin Oaks also smoked 11 venison shoulders and fed us free, with potluck sides and desserts, all prefaced by prayers. That club will always be my favorite and for good reason.
Thank you to Shawn and his wife, and Twin Oaks for setting the bar in Trad shoots!
P.S. it’s a shooter!
