Ttt. Got lost

Exciting month in TN: NWTF annual convention in Nashville next week, then the Pre-Spring Fling coming to Dickson County, TN at the end of the month..that ought to cure cabin fever!

The weather here in middle TN has been crazy, changing from 60s one day and who knows what the next...lots of precip, so hopefully the weather will cooperate in a couple of weeks....keep you posted...

The weather kind of stinks right now, hot/cold rain and dry but looks better for later in the month, either way it will be fun and look forward to seeing a lot of old friends. Pappy

I hope the weather cooperates. If it's lousy weather, the wife won't camp and I will have to make it a day trip. She doesn't shoot, just likes to camp.

How soon can we show up to Camp? Haven't decide on a or motel yet, but would like to set up Thursday if we do opt for bringing the camper.

Someone will be there all week Clyde, You will have no trouble setting up Thursday. Looking Forward to seeing you again. You too Julia and Danny! You guys are good to set up and vend! Are you guys bringing your big fifth wheel? Just curious to how many big ones we have coming in.

Two weeks away. Looking forward to getting to Buck Hollow.

David

Think I'm gonna make it

Have 2 guys from my area planning on comming

How soft is the area for campers? Also thinking about staying at Mongomery Bell State Park and driving over. Does anyone know what that park is like? We would be coming from Ohio.

We are gonna park our beast at Montgomery Bell state park. Full hookups!!

Danny Pile, Our camping area is in a hay field, gravel road in on a high flat spot. You will be backing in and setting up in the grass. If we have good weather we will be fine. If we have wet weather it will get soft just like everywhere else we go but we will manage.We will take care of you if you have any problems. Montgomery Bell State park is a beautiful park. The camp grounds there are very nice and only 15 to 20 minutes away from Buck Hollow. They also have a nice Inn with 118 rooms, there are also cabin rentals there. Check them out at Montgomery Bell State Park www.tnstateparks.com.

Cant wait to see you Otis, its going to be a good time!

Thank you, hope to make it down!

Back Up for the weekend.

Terry Harris

Keeping it on the top burner, it's almost here....

I'll probably roll in on Thursday afternoon. I just need a spot for a tent.

Less than two weeks away now.

Terry Harris

Only 11 days away, let's get ready to FLING some arrows.

Terry Harris

Mercy! Gonna need to start on an ark if this rain doesn't stop up here...hope we can gey a dry up good and proper soon..

what are they calling for weather there in Tenn that weekend?

As of today this is what it says. Thursday lingering showers high 47 and low of 34, Friday Sunny, high 45 low 34, Saturday Sunny 49 low 34, Sunday 45 slight chance of rain. We put in an order for great weather so we have to get great weather right! We are getting closer and closer! We are excited and will be ready!

Typical Tennessee weather for this time of year.

Add Roy Hall to the vendor list!

Glad to see Roy making it.

Terry Harris

Reservations made at the state park.

Reservations made at the state park.

Looks like a day trip for me and a couple of friends. Don't know which day though.

ONLY NINE DAYS AWAY FOLKS!!!

Terry Harris

I was overruled and we will be at a motel! Will try to get there early Friday a.m..

It looks like the ground is going to be soaked, how much mud can we expect if we camp there?

John you been to the Classic many times, it won't be any worse than that and I am sure these guys will take good care of you. The weather don't look to bad for Tennessee in Feb. Pappy

How will the parking be?

Parking should not be an issue, we have a large area to park folks. And we have designated a couple of spots for over flow parking. I would bring some mud boots to be safe in case we get some more rain it may get a little muddy on the course. It dries up pretty quick and the forecast is showing that we should have some decent weather to dry out. We will go out of our way to accommodate anyone with any problems. We are getting closer and closer.We will see some of you in just 7 days! Looks like it will be in the 60's with slight chances of rain for Thursday 30% Friday is Sunny and Saturday partly cloudy is what they have forecasted right now.

We are looking forward to the event.

Is Steve Kitchens on the vendor list?

ONLY SEVEN DAYS AWAY!!!

Terry Harris

Let's get this back up on the top...a week away!

SIX DAYS AWAY!!!

Terry Harris

Need a FF padded string for a 60-70? era York Super Crest. Guessing there will be a vendor there that makes strings.

We rode over to Buck Hollow today and it is looking top-notch...ready for the big event!

A few more days....

Can someone mark the location on an google maps exactly where the shoot is and share it?

When I search 1695 Old Sylvia Rd on maps, it shows as someones residence.

Thanks

CD, your map is probably correct. It is on private property.

Steve Kitchens, vendor, advises they plan on being there...great! I can get my "fix" on looking over old Asbell era Bighorns even before the TN Classic!

We've been watching the weather, it going to be warm enough, not sure about the rain. Can't wait to come shoot, but don't want to have to swim to get there.

John, ya saying your shoulders are hurting too for those swim strokes or is it the knees on the flutter kick?

You got it right, bad shoulders and bad knees. Might have to do the breast stroke. Thinking about this weather and Tennessee I can't help but remember the couple of times you got soaked at the Classic. I remember the time you set up exactly where the water was running off the side of the hill and you were knee deep in a flowing stream of water. You kept smiling as you always did, always a happy guy.

daggone it! you guy's are bringing tears to my eyes as i won't be able to make it! hope everybody takes lots of pictures to share!

Probably make it as a spectator. Haven't shot in a long time due to losing stuff from TWO moves. Still trying to recover.

-Joe

Will be there rain or shine!

Is there a primitive camping area there?

Trent, there is primitive camping there as well as a camping Park close by. Maybe one of the members here will be more specific for you.

Terry Harris

Thanks Terry, we will be hammock camping. Just need some trees.

I think there are plenty of those around Buck Hollow, LOL.

Terry Harris

I am sure they will find you a spot Trent, I fill sure they are plenty busy this week and probably won't be on here much. Don't let the weather scare you off, they have really been trying to get ready rain or shine. Pappy

FOUR DAYS AWAY FOLKS.

Terry Harris

Sun's out up the road a little ways from Buck Hollow! Bring it on!

They have a section of woods set aside for tent camping...plenty of hardwood trees there...12 large RV type campsites set up in the upper pasture...

We are ready,we have the course set. It will be challenging so you might want to bring a couple of arrows that you don't love! It should be a ton of fun if you love to shoot like we do.The Big White Vendor tent set, a huge thank you to Pappy and the fine folks at Twin Oaks for letting us borrow it. We have put some new gravel down. We have plenty of trees for you to put a Hammock in Trent. We are approaching it like the postal service quotes. Neither Snow nor Rain nor Heat nor Gloom of night will halt us from or Mission. We are expecting it to be wet so bring your boots.We will go out of our way to make it enjoyable, and to put on a great shoot that makes you want to come back over and over. We will see you in 4 days.

Add Steve Kitchens of Traditional Bows to the list of vendors, he let me know this morning he will be there setting up Thursday! Is almost Go Time!

Gregory Bouras, On the flyer We have on there that the last shooter out at 12, that is for the competition shooters so we can have their score cards turned in, in time for us to do the trophy ceremonies. If you are coming to shoot for fun you can shoot as long as you want to. We have 40 targets set and it is multiple round, once you get your arm band you can shoot all you want to.

Early if you want to have that much fun all in one day...calling for low 60s temps Wednesday...TN weather!?!?

For all of you that are planning on coming to the Pre-Spring Fling. I wanted to let you know that on Friday evening at 5:00 we are going to have a Final Arrow tribute for David Hewitt. David was friends with a bunch of us Buck Hollow Boys and he was very excited about getting down here for this shoot.We will all line up in the field and shoot an arrow for David off into one of the Hollers at Buck Hollow. Bring yourself an arrow, write something on it and plan on paying tribute. David Hewitt will truly be missed but never forgotten!

Leaving Ohio tomorrow to beat the snow on Wednesday . Going to stop somewhere in Kentucky Tuesday and head on to Montgomery Bell State Park Wednesday . Then shooting the next three days. Really looking forward to this shoot!

I will bring an arrow for David.

I'm all loaded up and ready to go. I just have to get through the next 2 days at work.

Thanks Terry and Crowfoot for the response. Looking forward to it!!

THREE MORE DAYS!!!

Terry Harris

Starting to rethink making the trip from Ohio. Calling for 3 to 5 inches of rain and flood warnings. Would love to be there but don’t want to get caught in flood with camper.

Sorry guys, just canceled my reservation. I called the State Park and they are already having flood issues. Just not going to put my wife and I in jeopardy. Hope for next year. Hope the shoot goes great, Danny.

When has a TN weatherman got a forecast right, pray tell? Second day of sunshine up here, a few miles north of Buck Hollow, LBL area...

Don't look good for an 11 hour drive from here- think we gonna chicken out

was really hoping to get away

I'm not sure who you talked to at the park but it hasn't rained here in two days. Its the driest it has been here right now in a weeks.They must be talking about flooding in the past? It looks like we are going to get some rain but the weather here literally changes every time I look at it. We are preparing for it, we have put mulch down in the vendor tents and we have plenty on hand as we need it. The show will go on. We will miss you guys, hope to see you around. If you change your mind and I hope you do we have a great course set up.

So we have decided to come down and stay at a hotel instead of bringing the camper. Hated to waste my vacation. See you Friday.

As of the latest weather report, 2pm Tuesday: chance of rain Thursday 60%, Friday 90%, Saturday 100%, and 0% Sunday.

Sounds like the Tennessee classic weather last year.

I saw those percentages at the beginning of a news cast then the closing percentages was lower. I don't think the weather girl is sure herself.

Local weather here now ( 10;30am Wednesday )is saying partly cloudy here tomorrow high of 50, Friday showers likely in the morning and in the evening. We should have lapses through out the day Friday, fingers crossed. Saturday is much the same it looks like. We are all pleading with the good lord above to help us out! The temps will be in the 60's. Sunday is supposed to be nice. We are ready and will do the very best we can do. We have a great course set up that you guys will love. Our members and wives have worked their tails off to make this a great event! Bring your Boots!

I know it is late to be suggesting this, but what about postpones this event until the next weekend?

What you been smoking John? :>)

I knew I'd get a reaction on that one.......I want to come there so bad, but I want to be able to shoot and not stand around the vendor tents wasting for the rain to stop.

John, P.M.ed my number.

The dog had me out at 1:00 this morning...full moon and bright stars, clear and still as a mouse...I looked up and asked the Man above if he would repeat this perfect camping night for at least a few more nights..

Sunny day here, up the road a little ways from the shoot coming up...

Ya hope the sun holds but looks like it won't,Really foggy here but looks like the sun is trying to break through, a little drying would be nice, either way the show must go on, rain or shine.Be there Saturday. Pappy

Will be driving up today.Camping at Montgomery State park.Looking foreword to seeing everyone.Im sure I will get to shoot the range some.I enjoy visiting ,buying, and trading. I meet new friends when I go to new shoots.

I'd rather be there in the rain instead of sitting here at home.

Lbl today, hiking with the dogs, scouting for turkeys, just north of Buck Hollow...fine day!

Hey Guys! post pictures

I really wanted to do this one

at least will know what to look foward to next year

wife still recovering from surgery and an 11.5 hour drive just not realistic

Pictures please

On our way!

We are having a beautiful day today. Lets hope it lasts and this system splits us. We have a few campers and Vendors already here.We are fixing to get busy busy bust, this will be the last post for a while. We cant wait to see everyone! God is Good!

Just a few of the targets set. Come on out and Send It!

Looks like you need a lot of arrows to tender him up before you light the fire!

TTT

Would be a nice suprise if that Bee hive was occupied- would have yourself a nice collection of arrows by the end of the shoot

Here's hoping for better weather than forecasted, y'all have a great time.

Terry Harris

Hate that Ronnie.

They are rolling in, getting set up...

Looks like I’ll be a Sunday morning participant if there will be anyone left there!

Just got back from shooting first twenty targets. Great setup, great club, members very friendly and helpful. Hopefully rain will let us get in the next twenty tomorrow. Went through some of the vendors tents but will catch the rest tomorrow.

Looks like Sunday for me with a buddy of mine coming with me.

TTT

We didn't shoot today. Wife bought some wraps and feathers at big Jim's to redo her arrows to match her new bow color. Of course that means I will be redoing her arrows!

how was the weather?

I am in Sunday. Should a good long day of Archery Fun!

Whats Happening down there?

Thanks to all the buckhollow members for working very hard to put on a quality shoot. We enjoyed every day, but Sunday was the best because the weather cleared. This shoot is going to grow into one of the best.

Great time, little wet but when you play outside you can get wet. Great bunch that worked hard to be sure everyone enjoyed. Pappy

Great Job Buck Hollow boys!

We had so much rain here I had to stay home and fight water in my basement. Our lake has risen over 17 feet in the past week! Everything is soaked here. Wish I could have made it. My buddy came over From Georgia to come up there with me, but he stayed and helped with my water problem. I hope those of you who got there had a good time. How about someone posting some of the scores? How many shooters were there?

Had a great time today. Made 2 new friends and had a great time shooting. Great setups with the targets.

Walking around checking vendors and hanging with friends for two wet days was well worth waiting for the perfect weather today!

Great course and great job by the club!

All of us at Buck Hollow wants to send out a great big thank you to all you great folks for coming out and supporting BHB for our first Tennessee Pre-Spring Arrow Fling. We had some tough weather but all of you Guys and Gals proved to be much tougher. We worked our tails off to make it a great shoot. I really hope that if you enjoyed it that you will let it be known and help us grow our shoot.Our members and wives worked super hard preparing for it and then reacting to the things you can't prepare for! A big thanks to the vendors who came out, after talking to them they all did well and said they planned on being back next year. Thanks to Compton Traditional Bow hunters for their support and co-sponsorship of this shoot, what a great bunch of guys and organization, if you aren't a member of Compton but love traditional archery and hunting then you should be. Check them out, they were instrumental with the kids shoot and we set that up both Saturday and Sunday. Those kids had a blast and they are our future. We encourage you to get a kid shooting a bow! We had 141 registered shooters this weekend and many many visitors. It was great seeing old friends and making new ones. We will see many of you out at another shoot someplace. Until Then , thanks so very much! God is Good!

Hats off the folks at Buck Hollow for putting on an outstanding shoot. It was clear how much work they did to prepare, make adjustments for the rain, and make sure everyone had a great time. Great Job!!!

Great job Buck Hollow Bowhunters, nature dealt you a tremendous blow but you all handled it well!

Thanks Danny Pyle, it was good to meet you.

I want to know what Eddie Chumley is doing and thinking at this moment!

If you made it down and have pictures, please post them. I would love to see them.

I had a great time and plan on coming back next year. A big thanks to all of the Buck Hollow members for all the hard work they did to host this shoot.

It wont post thee scores any bigger than that for some reason, that is the 3rd time I have tried to post it. Must be something with the way the picture is saved. You can see them on facebook on the Buck Hollow Bowhunters page if you have facebook. Sorry.

Had a great time at Buck Hollow. They busted their humps to make it as enjoyable as they could. You men and women did a great job. Even though there was a little rain, it was a top flight shoot.

David

Thanks Otis, great to see you and the crew, I had a great time as always with you boys. Camp Chicken Foot Rides again. The steel crow was about 15 yards I'd guess. that hole was cut in it with a 2 inch hole saw.

I tell you what happened. I took a shot, set my bow on the horse's head and leaned forward to get up. Except I almost landed on my face.:o then the rest of the group wanted me do it again for a photo of. Lol
