Championship to be held at Pipestem State Park, Pipestem WV. July 20-22. Who plans to attend?

I plan on attending

I am planning on going, it will be my 1st. Ill be nervous as a bird dog.

I'll be there.

I'm planning to be there.

Me and Julie will be there. Regards

I d like to attend , I be flying from California , can someone suggest, what would be the best airport to fly into ?

rbatect,

You'd probably be best off to fly into Yeager Airport in Charleston, WV. You still be about 1:45 from Pipestem.

There's a smaller airport in Beckley, WV, which would be about 40 minutes from Pipestem, but you'd need to check flights and costs in comparison to Yeager.

Thanks Jim for responding to rbatect's question. I was also thinking Charleston.

I'm planning on going. It'll be cooler than Twin Oaks for sure!

Nancy and I will be there. Already have reservation at a lodge.

Lee, I'm sure when you say "cooler" you are mean the weather! LOL!

Lol! Definitely the weather. This year on Sunday at Twin Oaks I checked the weather at Pipestem Park... 65°. Twin Oaks is a spectacular piece of property though, that's for sure.

I plan on going. Is the Mckeever lodge the closest to the actual shoot?

Only two lodges in the park and some cabins. The McKeever is the largest. The other lodge is accessible only by the aerial tramway. If the event is held in the same area as previous archery events, the McKeever would probably be the best.

That must be where we are staying, because Nancy didn't consider the one with the tram!

50 pts higher! Dream on Kurt!

After last year's "Twin Oaks Death March" (115 degree heat index...) I'm ooking forward to a weekend in the mountains!!!

I plan on going. Went to Tennessee last year, that one was awesome other than the raging heat. Made top 10 im MLB but might shoot recurve this year so we shall see if i can make the third day. Some pretty amazing shots out there i know that.

Maybe I'm odd, but I never remember the extreme heat or cold when I think back to going to great shoots. Only remember the get together's with everyone and fun shooting. Then someone will remind me that we sweated or butts off, or that the campground flooded that year. Then I do remember!

Kurt, Nancy checked and we are staying at Mckeever lodge.

Meant to ad, in a room, not a cottage.

I plan on going , will be first for me.

Have never done anything with IBO. Do I need to do a state IBO shoot to qualify?

It's a possibility for me. Only 4 hours from home.

"Have never done anything with IBO. Do I need to do a state IBO shoot to qualify?"

Nope, not for the traditional shoot. Just come and shoot.

Kurt, If a group is going a cottage might be the way to go, but I think you have to reserve them for the entire week.

I have a stupid question but I d like to ask for those who may have some knowledge ,,,,,, what is the humidity like in WV in July ? thanks

rbatect , you're not asking a stupid question but I may be giving a stupid answer. I think the average mid - day is probably around 80 % or so in July. Maybe a knowledgeable person may chime in with more accurate information.

Not a criticism, kinda in the middle of nowhere. Is that the norm for IBO Worlds?

Nowhere? Gee Whiz! It's only about 18 miles from the metropolis of Princeton, WV.

:^)

"Not a criticism, kinda in the middle of nowhere. Is that the norm for IBO Worlds?"

For years about about 15 minutes from Clarksville TN., and then for a couple years 10 minutes from Cloverdale Ind and 45 minutes from Indianapolis. So no.

One of the requirements of the club hosting the shoot is there has to be hotels and such near the shoot location.

11 hour drive, but I really want to go. Thinking...

lol, I guess I deserve that. I was in the area last year and ended up driving because flying involved renting a car. It's beautiful country, should be a heck of a shoot!

Kurt, I would think so. Maybe check their site for any changes.

I know you can find this info on the internet but I will throw this out. May help someone. Within 1/2 mile of the Princeton WV exit on I - 77 is the following. Country Inn & Suites, Days Inn, Fairfield Inn and Suites, Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Microtel, Quality Inn and Sleep Inn. Several chain restaurants and most fast food establishments. And of course Walmart.

"...It's only about 18 miles from the metropolis of Princeton, WV."

I’ll be there. I really enjoyed the ibo national shoot there last year.

Looking forward to the shorter drive

Im going to try, My summer is getting crazy

Busy, thinking ahead to 2019.

Where can I read the applicable rules?

just made our reservations at the lodge, they had available rooms and they allow refunds if cancelled within 48 hours of arrival

David A,

You can go to: ibo.net

Click on Tournements, then go to "2018 Rules"

Oops.... here's the rules for the Traditional shoots.

http://www.ibo.net/PDF/2017/2017%20Trad%20Rules.pdf

Yes, make sure you look at the rules for the Trad shoots.

t t t.

This year its an hour drive for me rather than the 7 hour drive the past couple of years.Plenty of vendors to stock up on supplys at past trad worlds so bring some extra cash.
