It is off I 24 at exit 19 between Nashville and Clarksville,TN./Fort Campbell,KY. you can get more info /directions and description of what you are getting yourself into ??? ;) :) :) at [twinoaksbowhunters.org] Cell 615-456-5961 home 931-362-3717, I will post a flyer as soon as I have it in my hands. Things could change as we all know but as of now make plans to be there , I think you will enjoy it. We make a few changes in how we do things because of the times but nothing that will take away for the event. Hope to see yall there. Pappy

You will see us there.

I'll be there. Thanks Pappy!

Hope this stupid COVID pandemic is gone by then.

Ya me also Boker, we will see ?? The problem is on an event like this you have to make plans so that is what we are doing, if all goes bad we will let folks know in plenty of time so they can adjust their's.As of now it's on, we will take a hard look at it in early April and see how things are going, I pray all will be good. Pappy

Always look forward to seeing yall Kurt, enjoy our time together. Pappy

Always a great fund event, another one of my favorites.

I will be watching.

Hope to be there as well.

I wouldn't worry to much about the stubby pencil, mostly good honest people at the Classic, sometimes people are just better shots, but those that loose think think they had to have cheated to beat me. Me also Kurt, tired of this lock down but all we can do is wait it out and pray for a good outcome. Pappy

You're right Pappy, I'm sure there aren't many that would cheat at the Twin Oaks Classic or even at my event. I truly believe the vast majority of people that go to these events are honorable and trustworthy people. BUT, unfortunately, there may be someone out there that will "fudge" a number or two, but they think that's ok. WHAT A SHAME.

I know you and your outstanding group put on a fantastic event. There are many other great events out there and NO ONE, should have a pencil beat them. Many of these honest folks travel great distances and spend a lot of money to go to these events, and we know this. We also know, that any way one puts it, FUDGING is the same as CHEATING in my opinion.

Terry Harris

I hear ya Terry, it is just hard to balance between keeping it legit and making it fun for most that could care less about score.If folks tell us they just want to shoot for fun we mark their card with a line through it, if they want to shoot for score we try to put them with others that want the same, that's about as far as we want to go.Some events are set up just for score, some just for fun, we try our best to have something for both, not prefect but works pretty well. Pappy

I agree Pappy, most folks just want to have fun, shooting with their friends, some they only get to see at these events. Then we have those few that really want to compete and in my opinion, the ones that can hurt our events if they think that someone that take their legitimate award by cheating them, by spreading the word they've been cheated.

We both hear those names and I have already tried to work on some of these issues.

One thing I've done is put others with those I hear the rumors about. I'm certainly not trying to insult anyone, BUT, I explain that the only way I can defend them at my event, from these rumors, is to make them shoot with whom I pick and have someone else keep score. If they're honest, they shouldn't mind.

We've all heard of that special person that HAS TO WIN. I encourage all folks to do the same thing, SO they can be defended as well.

Eventually, since those that "fudge" their numbers will have to turn in legitimate scores, won't win near as much and soon will realize that they've been caught winning so much in the past, they might quit coming. And that certainly is no loss for us.

Pappy, I'm not trying to be negative here in any way, y'all put on one of the best events in the country. I also realize like I said earlier, it's a shame someone doesn't mind cheating because they are a narcissist, (it's all about them, but it does hurt these events and those that need to be called out, should be.

Terry Harris

The only good bow I ever had you gave me the wood? I have never even heard of Don Dorn. I have one floor tillered that came from Yellow creek. Its out of that big pile we have at Buck Hollow that Ole Wayne stacked up. I also have the Hackberry stave we cut up that fell over Camp Chicken foot at twin oaks. I will build one out of one of them and see if I can keep up with you Don Dorn and Kurt! We are having our first shoot of the season tomorrow at Buck Hollow, wish us luck! We will see you soon Pappy!

Hope that Hack berry works out for you Gobber, I have made some good bow from Hack berry,light and pretty fast, and be cool it came from where yall camp.As for the self bow challenge , you never know who will come out of the wood work, we have had some 12/13 year old boys win it before, it's mostly about the person behind the bow, not the bow or who gave you the wood.We are already making plans,cleaning and straightening the shop and grounds, just hope all works out for this year, really missed it last year and seeing all my good friends. Pappy

Looking forward to it too Pappy!

Me also Goober, hope all this mess is behind us by then, looking better in Tennessee for now. We are already making plans and hope to make up for what we missed last year.Getting several vendors calling for spots so looks like people are ready to get out. Pappy

Yep, let's hope this is a GREAT year Mark. Looking forward to getting up in TN, this month and in May for the Classic.

Terry Harris

Ace Archery Tackle will be there again this year. We sure missed seeing all of our friends last year, it's one of our favorite shoots.

Bob & Jan

Bob it will be good to see you and Jan also, May will be here before you know it!

gm.

I noticed the buttercup's not only up but had blooms starting to form in the front yard of the cabin this past weekend.

I don't know about spring but that means that the classic is coming soon!

gm.

Great to hear Bob, missed yall last year. Ice storm this morning, you never know in Tennessee what the day holds. Hope it get the bad weather out of it system and we have a beautiful spring, either way, if it didn't rain at the Classic it wouldn't be the Classic.LOL, See yall soon. Pappy

Kurt you and Steve pull the camper into the barn and start getting it ready for the trip and it will be time head out before you know it!

tell Steve we will save some cobbler for him!

see ya soon

gm.

Me also Kurt, snow here today, biggest snow we have had in years and they are calling for more, hope it will get it out of it's system by May.Hope to see some of yall at the Spring fling in a couple of weeks, I think the weather is supposed to get better after this week, hoping it will but either way if you play outside as we do you might get cold or wet, just part of the game we play. Pappy

Not as much snow as they called for but plenty of ice and cold, 9 here this morning with wind chill below zero, headed to the cabin in a bit to check on my girls[dogs] I filled their house with straw yesterday and they are use to the outside but not usually this cold.More snow is called for tomorrow and then a warm up for the weekend, now we will really get sloppy. Pappy

Ya it is very cold here for us, and more snow on the way today and tomorrow, I am pretty sure it will be better by May, at least it always has, never know these days. Pappy

Ya Kurt we got another 3 inches or so last night and still a little coming down this morning, then supposed to be very cold for a day or 2 then back in he 50's. We expect rain at the Classic, wished it wouldn't but over the years we have learned how to deal with it some what.LOL, I know my girls are loving the snow, they don't get to see this much, we have been out the last few dayS hiking around looking for critter sign and just enjoying the snow.Hope to see yall next week at the Spring fling , if not at the Classic.Stay warm and safe all. Pappy

I hear ya Kurt, I am hoping for better weather but mainly because of the Spring fling next weekend, I have really kind of enjoyed the snow and cold weather, just been getting out and embracing it,have had a good week with the dogs hiking and them playing in it. Pappy

Back up for my friends at Twin Oaks.

Terry Harris

Yes Kurt they have enjoyed it, it will all be gone here soon, in the 50's this week, now for the slop, hope we get a little sun and wind to dry things up a bit.Looks like a dry week so things should be good for the spring fling this coming weekend, who know what is in store for the Classic but we will get through it either way, can be fun and dry or fun in the mud.Hope to see yall in a few days.Rocky and some of the Elm Hall boys are coming in Thursday to stay with me at the cabin, then we will head to the Fling early Friday morning, at least that's the plan for now. Pappy

Back Up

Wow, two months into 2021 already gone.

This great event will be here before you know it.

Terry Harris

I sure hope to make it some year, I have heard great things.

Yep love to have you Jack, can be a bit wet but always fun either way.Already making lots of plans, can hardly wait. We have our first shoot in 20th March, just a 1 day but it gets all in the mood to get thing going around there after a long winter and hunting season. Pappy

I am looking forward to it. We had too many events were canceled in 2001. Let's have some "fun" in "21".

is there plenty of camping area? we are sure planning on making it if my old knees will hold out and i think they will as long as you all don't have too high of cliffs to jump off of. lol! of course i will bring my good looking lady friend with me too. she makes sure my score card is filled out right!

Thanks Kurt always appreciate a complement.You bet Gerald, gets a little crowed by Friday but can always fine a place. I need help also with the score card, can't see them anymore. LOL. Pappy

Ya need to make it Gerald, you won't regret it my friend.

Terry Harris

Don't blink folks, it'll be here before ya know it.

Terry Harris

We are having our 1 day open March 20, it is a smaller shoot but really helps us get focused on what we have coming up. It is fun but also helps us get things back in shape after a long winter.I am getting a lots of calls so as I said before I think everyone is ready to get on with their lives. I have 16 vendors lined up already and I am sure more to come, should be a great time. Pappy

Really looking forward to theses shoots!

Looking forward to this event. I've been away from the sport for too long. See you guys in April.

The Buck Hollow Boys will be over on the 20th! Cant wait for the Classic too!

I can't wait. Hopefully I will have a couple first timers shooting this year. Buck Hollow just got me fired up after missing out all of last year.

You'll certainly enjoy yourself Ragnall.

Terry Harris

You guys/gals don't know how much I missed it last year, it's like a big family reunion to me and Miss Joanie. Been talking to a lot of people and it seems everyone is ready to get out and just get on with life.We are already making plans and can hardly wait till it is here. Pappy

Looking so forward to this Pappy.

Up to 21 vendors now, I will put up a list when it gets a little closer, should be able to get most anything you need in the Traditional and Primitive archery line. Pappy

Y'all always have a very good selection of outstanding Vendors Mark.

Terry Harris

SIX WEEKS FROM TOMORROW!!!

Terry Harris

In about 5 weeks, there will be people rolling in to start getting with their friends, camping, cooking and building their self bows as well.

GOOD TIMES A COMING GUYS & GALS!!!

Terry Harris

Think Im going to block off 14days and come for two weeks and camp. Bring my Didgerido, make smoke, play music and shoot bow. Ive heard there's a fella that plays his natural flute there. Maybe we can jam together. Tank

I will be there with the family to camp, this will be my first Tennessee Classic looking forward to it.

Getting a lot of first this year, I think you will enjoy. Pappy

Relax Kurt, it’ll get here before you know it. LOL

Just excited Kurt,LOL tell your brother that is bow might just live to see another hunt, plan on finishing up the repair work this weekend and test it a little more. See yall soon. Pappy

You also Kurt and for years of support. We are making our list and checking it twice to try and be ready. Lots still left to do but we are getting there.You don't really think about all the little things until you start trying to put something like this together, the big things seem to take care of their self the little things take some thought. Pappy

Nancy just had to check out our camp site when we were there for the Open Shoot. Guess she's ready also!

Back Up

Terry Harris

Thank Kurt, Yes Clyde, may put a little mulch down there if they get me some in the next few weeks.The road crew is supposed to bring me some in this week, then I will finish the prep work. Pappy

Sounds good. It could be mud and we would still be there!

For sure Clyde, it can be muddy but we try and do the best we can to make it less miserable as possible .LOL. Pappy

THIRTY DAYS AWAY NOW!!!

Terry Harris

Thanks Kurt/Terry. It is closing in for sure.Working on all the details this weekend,Tshirts/trophy plaques/buttons are all ordered and now to start laying out the ranges and getting the work shop/grounds and kitchen in order. Lots to do but it is a labor of Love so not like work at all. Hope yall have a good weekend and see ya in a few weeks !!!!!! Pappy

Thanks Kurt, working on the ranges yesterday, they will be a little different this year , we try and change them up a bit every year. I think you will like them.Trying to keep them on dryer ground cause as you know it usually rains.Getting closer to being ready, working this weekend and next so hope to have all finished up soon. See yall in a few weeks. Pappy

We are coming to campout! Cannot wait.

Started cleaning some of the camp areas yesterday, planning on more today if the rain will get out of here, headed to the Trad fest tomorrow and then back at the clean up over the rest of the weekend.Got folks coming in early so time is getting short. Pappy

We got a lot done this weekend,after getting back from the Trad fest, much of my to do list is complete. Got the ranges almost finished and most ever thing around the club area ready to go. We still have a few things left as it get closer but almost ready I think, now if the Good Lord will just bless us with some good weather I think it will turn out a nice event. Pappy

Really looking forward to it after the year we've had. Be seeing you all in a few weeks.

Roy(Navajo Bows)and I plan to be there.

Do you plan on being there as a vendor[Navajo Bows]? if so I need to know so I can make plans, any other vendors that usually come and haven't let me know PLEASE do so, I am up to 24 right now and have limited space so I have to make plans to accommodate them. Putting up our big tent to help with that this weekend.Usually have around 40 to 45. Pappy

Yes, Roy will bring bows and hatchets.

let's hope for some sunny weather!

Ya that would be nice John, we try and plan for the worst and pray for the best. Pappy

Finishing up the ranges this weekend, made the last run for kitchen supplies today, just a few more odds and ends and we should be ready to go, getting lost of call from all over the country, don't really know what to expect but should be a good one, as I have said it seems from those I have talked to, people are just ready to get out. Pappy

Going to make the long run to Tennessee. Be in early and stay long! Going to be a bow building party.Tank

Got the big tent up this weekend and the ranges set, they tuned out very nice I think.Less than 2 weeks now. Here is one of the set ups, we like to set up scenes in natural settings. I think you will like how it looks. Pappy

another

1 more, you will have to come to see the rest. See ya shortly. Pappy

Pappy, any new word on Gary Davis? The Classic won't be the same if he is unable to attend.

Pappy, any new word on Gary Davis? The Classic won't be the same if he is unable to attend.

We will be there Friday.

Those setups look great Pappy.

Super set ups, it is going to be fun!

Thanks guys, John may be a little close for you LOL, better work on you short game. Nothing really new on Gary Roger, in rehab so prayers are still needed for a full recovery. See some of yall in a few day, others in about a week. Pappy

Always like the scenario setups. Looking forward to finishing up another selfbow.

Had a great time. Thanks Pappy snd all the volunteers

Ya won't be long now, I am headed down this morning and will be there until the 3rd of May so won't be on here for a while, hope to see some of yall soon.Have a good week !!! Pappy

We will be there Sunday, not Friday. Joshua's birthday is the weekend of the shoot, so since we will not be here, we are going to do something for him Saturday.

May family and I will be there Friday morning! Looking forward to this shoot.

May family and I will be there Friday morning! Looking forward to this shoot.

Pappy 1952, I will work on my "short game" this week to get ready. I am anxious to shoot the event.

I'm sure this years Classic will be a great success. Back and knee surgery will cause me to miss it this year. God willing, I'll be there next year. Take care.

Jim

Will there be food and drinks available? Asking for my wife lol and I like eating so we trying to figure out if we pack ham sandwiches or support y’all with buying food . Thanks

Sadly I will not be able to attend this year due to the cost of divorce. This is my all time favorite event and just sickens me that I can’t afford to go. I’ll be there next year though! Hope everyone has fun and post lots of pictures!

I should know this but I guess my old age is catching up and I have forgotten. Is there a "seniors" class or an "open" class at this event.

John, Pappy's here, and probably won't see this. I"ll find out tomorrow. I'm thinking yes.

Also, The practice range has a completely different set up, and it's great!

Is there a list of the vendors attending anywhere that a fella could look at?

I will ask Pappy in the morning to let me take a pic of the vendors list and post it tomorrow.

Also John, The reason I have to check, is the same reason you can't remember from year to year.

Perfect...thanks Clyde!

BigB, that depends on what day you are coming in and wether you're camping or not. I don't think they fire the kitchen up for guests until Friday. I will ask.

Kitchen opens for guests on friday. Basic simple menu. Sausage/biscuits, coffee. Burgers, etc.

Thanks

Had to take vendor list pics from a note pad, so hope you can make them out.

They may have overlapped.

John, One of the guys here said there is a senior class. Apparently any equipment/style can be used in seniors. If I hear any different I'll let you know.

Thanks, especially need to know if plunger can be used in Seniors.

This is going to be a great week and an awesome weekend! The Twin Oaks Bunch are second to none and work their tails off for this great shoot. Great Job Guys!

I will not be there but James Parker will have the first of the Hummingbird Bows along with his beautiful bows.So happy to have him we are starting with the one piece Long Bows.It has been a long time coming but I think Ben would be pleased.

Anyone know what time the course opens on Friday morning?

We are driving up from Alabama.

I’ll be there Friday morning!

Nearest motels with swimming pool ?

There are a lot of nice motels at exit 4 off 24 in Clarksville, I haven't been up there in years but it seems like these motels are about 15 miles from Twin Oaks, all the better one have pools.

Just google Clarksville motels.

Any firewood for sale when camping..

The weather is looking pretty darn good for tomorrow and Saturday. Chance of rain on Sunday but I believe for more in the afternoon/evening hours. Should be a great weekend. See ya'll there.

Friday ranges open at 6am. Free firewood (lots of it) available.

Stop by and say hi to Pat with Canadohta Customs bows. He makes a sweet bow!! I wish I could have made hopefully next year.
