Folks, the Howard Hill Southeastern Classic will be held again at Tannehill Historical State Park, in McCalla, AL, May 31, June 1, 2 & 3, 2018. As you can see, this year will be a four day event.

NOW, let me add that this year WILL NOT be my last year for the HH Classic. I hope to go several more years.

I will, however, be selling all of my McKenzie targets at the end of this event. Great chance to get some used targets at GREAT prices.

With that said, next year's "HOWARD HILL CLASSIC", not only a slight difference in the title, BUT, there will also be some MAJOR CHANGES!!!

I will be using Rinehart Targets, the winners plaques will have a beautiful new design, there will be "American Traditional Archer" designed belt buckles to go along with the 1st place winners plaques, AND, some OUTSTANDING SURPRISES, coming as well.

See y'all at this year's Howard Hill Southeastern Classic.

Looking forward to this shoot!!! Always a great time!

For those of you that made this year's Pre-Spring Arrow Fling, because of the rain on Saturday evening, I've carried LOTS of items I was going to raffle or auction over to the HH Classic.

These items, including three bows. One from Northern Mist, Big Jim's Bow co. and Bear archery donated a "Byron Ferguson Patriot".

These items and more will be used to help raise money for the Boy Scout Camp.

Terry Harris

Folks, give me some of your best ideas about how best to sell my targets.

Should I list them on a board and list the number they are on the course, then let those that want to do a silent bid on them, do so?

Should I just auction them off as they come in from the range on Sunday?

Whomever gets them will have to take them with them on Sunday.

I've even thought about the targets that someone gets, when the range shuts down, offer them help and let them get them out of the woods and go straight to their vehicle.

This year, since everyone will have four days of flinging arrows, I intend to shut the range down at 11 am so I may be able to help with this endeavor on targets.

Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Terry Harris

Auction, I suggest you hang a paper on a clip board at each target if target is on the course. Let people sign the sheets with bids. When you pull the targets, bring them to the signup pavilion for five to ten minutes if anyone else wants to bid higher. People pick them up them and there.

Not a bad idea john, but if it happens to rain, I'd be scrambling to run out and get all the clip boards before all the pages were ruined.

The same principle could apply with the dry-erase board at the registration area.

Terry Harris

That will work, but we both know it never rains for your event. I hope you are holding my "major award" from last weekend until I see you again!

Absolutely my friend. Are you going to Brierfield, I can bring it then. If not, I'll have them all at the HH Classic.

Terry

Don't forget, I'll still be serving some great southern Bar BQ for supper Saturday night.

Terry Harris

I'm thinking playing card raffle for the bows and raffle tickets through the weekend for all of the other great packages I'll have. Finish it all up on Saturday night and the final drawing will be for "The Tradition Lives On" signature bow.

Terry Harris

Would love to see the Howard Hill moved to late April to avoid the heat!

Terry, not sure about Brierfield, but sure enough for the HH and the used targets. See you there.

I'll have it you John.

Terry Harris

Wow, such grammar, or lack of it, LOL.

I'll have it FOR you John.

Terry

Fat fingers and old age add up to typo's!

John you could hurt my feeling, LOL.

Terry Harris

Now, photos with some foliage.

Back up

Terry Harris

Beautiful place for sure, lots to see and do. Pappy

Thanks Pappy

There's something for the entire family to do at the Park.

Terry Harris

Craft cabins

Bring your fishing pole, and there's also miles of Mt Bike trails if you want a little break fro flinging arrows.

Terry Harris

Some will even find cooling off in the stream is a great way to have summer fun.

Terry Harris

Back up

Terry Harris

Plenty of camping spots for RV's and campers.

Terry Harris

Always thought about riding that train. LOL. Guess that is the kid coming out in me. Pappy

Yes we did Shawn. Pappy

Thanks guys, and of course there's plenty of outstanding primitive camping.

Terry Harris

I want to make a prediction that the weather will be great again!

Let's not forget about several camp sites right around the registration area as well.

Terry Harris

The registration area, where all the action begins. You'll also notice one of the THREE main bathhouses in the Park.

Tannehill State Park has ALL the amenities you'd need for outstanding camping.

And again, fishing, mt. bike riding, hiking, craft shops, historical sites and even church for Sunday services if you like.

AND, FOR YOU LADIES, the Gem, Jewelry & Mineral Show is going on this same weekend!!!

Terry Harris

Terry Harris

My friend as well as a great friend to Traditional Archery, Jerald Tomasovski. Jerald passed away this past January, 2016.

For those of you that shot the "One Shot~One Kill, Jerald made all of those beautiful plaques.

Terry Harris

Here's one of the "One Shot~One Kill" plaques Jerald made. He spent approximately 34 hours, hand crafting them. The wood he used was estimated to be 100 years old.

Those that won these plaques truly have unique awards made by this good gentleman.

Terry, when you auction the targets, will you have a reserve minimum amount or will it be absolute auction?

I don't think I'll have a reserve minimum John, and I'm not trying to rape anyone. A fair price for a decent target is what I'm hoping for.

Terry Harris

With the big group of shooters your events bring in, you should have a great auction and get good prices.............unless it is pouring rain and everyone goes home........that never happens at your events, You always get the good weather! Looking forward to being there.

Thanks John, good weather just bad forecasts sometimes.

Other items will also be included!

All of these proceeds, plus, half of the proceeds from "The Tradition Lives On" signature bow will be given to the local Boy Scout Camp sitting adjacent to Tannehill State Park.

Terry, were the numbers down from years past???

It was plenty hot, but we missed the rain this year.

Yes, I don't know if the weather forecast earlier in the week, which didn't look great for the weekend, or, because another club only three hours away decided to hold a traditional two day event.

Who knows.

Terry Harris
