And now, news of September 2019, in Southwestern Pennsylvania!
“Strictly Sticks Traditional Archers” will present its 2-Day Traditional Weekend September 14-15, 2019!
The Crew will do its best to present a fun, relaxing, low-key 2 days filled with woodsy Archery courses, a novelty event or two, friends both old and new, a busy kitchen, and hopefully a few hearty laughs and cheers heard throughout the hillsides.
And if “interesting” weather joins us, which we've seen more than our fair share, we'll adapt or modify our events to still make this shoot worthy of your time!
We WILL be doing something new this year. Tucked sometime into Saturday afternoon, we are going to have a “21 Arrow Salute” in honor friends and members of the “Sticks” Family, who are no longer with us in person. Twenty-one single arrows will, one by one, be aimed and released skyward, as we call out their names....
Take a look at the attached flyer. It pretty much outlines our plans for the weekend, and hopefully covers the details you need to know.
Do these plans sound like something YOU can plan on? We hope so!
And, as always, if you have questions, ask here. We'll do our best to answer them.
So, get that quiver full and ready, and talk to your friends. Bring them, yourself, your family, and join us!
For YOU: it's WHY WE HAVE THIS!!!
Sincerely, The Crew of “Strictly Sticks Traditional Archers”

"Sticks" is roughly 45 miles Southeast of Pittsburgh, in Westmoreland County, in a village tucked between the towns of Mount Pleasant and Scottdale. These directions will get you to here, from the "major" roads around us!

Yep, we realize that there will probably NEVER be a weekend where only one event takes place. So, much of it works out to be location logistics for folks. Or, what folks are familiar with. So, for everything else going on that weekend, we wish everyone best of luck. And...dry weather...!!!
For those wishing to attend "Sticks", we'll leave the targets up for ya, and see ya Friday or Saturday!

When I hang the new calendar each year, the first thing I mark is all the SS shoots.
A man's got to get his priorities straight.

Wow, that's pretty high eatin' there Randy. The 3M's usually go for the cheaper dogs. We are not a bright bunch and really don't care as long as it's half burnt and has onions on it.

I dyed my hair blonde, to match the fibreglass on my Damon Howatt Vigilante. No one will know who I am, until they see me shoot.

Frank132: that sounds great! We're hoping there aren't too many conflicts this year, but, as they say, it happens...
We just know we'll be putting in the time, and setting up the courses, for those who DO wish to attend!

Red: WE ARE CERTAINLY HOPING FOR GOOD WEATHER... Our luck needs it!
The "Nathans/Hebrew Nationals" will be acquired today, after work. I am looking forward to this campfire, especially after the work setting up that we'll be doing this week.
To attendees of our little 2-day shoot: just bring along some boots/Mucks/Welly's!! The courses are good right now, but Southwestern Pennsylvania is expecting some rain between now and the weekend.
All the extra rain we've experienced this summer has made for a very LUSH experience out on the courses, so keep that in mind. We are NOT a professionally-kept "golf course" kind of club, but we are realistic!
Hoping to see a lot of our friends, both old and new, and to meet some of the Leatherwallers here, to put faces with names.
If you are attending, and are a Leatherwaller whom we may not have met, introduce yourself. We'll be glad to point out and introduce all the other Leatherwallers who regularly attend!
Can't really believe we are down to the last couple of days...
WHERE DID SUMMER 2019 GO??
See ya at "Strictly Sticks Traditional Archers"!!!

Randy and the crew do a fantastic job with the course and you won't meet a nicer bunch of folks!
Anyone looking for a fun day/weekend you will not be disappointed. A great shoot and warm up for the impending season.

Craig/,monkeyball: we're looking at the typical "40-50%" forecast. But, each day, the weekend % are dropping. So, we're proceeding as usual, and keeping whatever incantations going FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE this weekend!! Good luck to your Crew over in Forksville! Someday, we'll meet on mutual ground!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like a pretty good representation of the Manly Mt Men will be there for the weekend. Everyone's bringing refreshments so we can wait out any shower that may arise. :)

Hey yinz all: the set up is going as hoped, so all we need now is Nature's co-operations! Campers are welcome to arrive Friday, as a couple Crew members will be there prit-near all day; with one lucky person setting us his "apartment" beside the pistol bay!
Thanks for your considering our event, and we hope to see WHOMEVER this weekend!

I remember back when the shoot was in June. Nothing felt better than a cool shower Saturday night after shooting all day in the heat. I'm used to this cool mountain air.

It says right in Randy's flyer at the top that there is a single shower. It's pretty nice and built into the building. It gets hot and steamy though. You're sweated up 'til you get out.
What did we used to call that old plywood shower?

keng: to a writer, that's a great compliment!!! It means I can write or say whatever, and you'll never see! Ex: sometimes, the cologne you wear at the Golf Shoot "smelt of elderberries" (Monty Python reference)....!!
The "portable shower stall on a horsecart" was retired AND BURNED over 10 years ago. A cinderblock shower was added onto the building on the outside of the pistol bay side. Nothing fancy, but completely functional.
Yes, it gets steam. RedBeastmaster is not familiar with steam, since he's only familiar with the mountain water rushing down from the windturbines, then running through his MapleSap lines directly into his "Galvanized Warsh Tub". Only when he goes on holiday, like to Swede Valley, does he ever experience hot steamy water....
And that has affected his life: from social skills, to how he shoots his bow...
All of which will be on display this weekend...
So, Kenny, DO YOU STILL WANT TO VISIT??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
