2022 Trad World is only about 3 weeks away. I don’t think I will make it beings it’s so far, nobody to go with and price of gas. Sure wish it was at Pappys. It will be the First one I have missed since I started going in 2011. Kurt

BigStriper1- I am not sure about going also. I want to go, but still not sure. 500 miles one way for me. But I am thinking it might be worth it just to get away from Alabama's heat and humidity for a few days.

Nancy and I aren't going to wimp out! (:>) Have a room at the lodge.

I'm planning to go. Will try to make a week of it so long as work cooperates. Shoot, mointain bike, raft, kayak, etc.

Gas prices are not so bad for the individual direct consumer. Let's say you drive 15,000 miles per year, you went from spending roughly $3k per year to roughly $5k per year, depending on where you live and what you drive.

The people that can't afford that were all given at least that $2k difference from the government over the past two years.

We have several issues with our economy currently, and energy prices are a big part of that. But again, the direct cost of fuel for the average individual consumer is not that life altering when you think about it. $40 per week on average I'd say.

cmf 100 dollars to fill my truck per week times 4 = 400 plus a month big difference from 200 per week. the cost of fuel also effects prices of everything from food to the faucet on your sink. so the cost of gas is a big deal

Lamb-If you read my whole post you would see that I don't disagree with anything you said.

Point is, get your butts to the Trad Worlds and come have a good time with us ;)

I have never been to Pipestem. Someone give me some details on the camping there, showers, electricity, primitive sites, cost to camp?

I'm going. Driving up from Miami and shooting 3 classes. Cant walt.

problems is CMF most didnt use that money for a rainy day. They blew it on toys.

A surprising Colorado Moose Archery hunt is coming up and work is absolutely nuts right now. So I will skip a 12 hour drive to shoot foam and so a 20 hour drive to hunt Moose a little later in the year. Max. drive for me to shoot some foam is about 5 hours.

I will be there. Pipestem is a wonderful place for trad worlds . More room and so much going on around the park. The New River Greenbriar and bluestone ri ers are very close along with the Bluestone lake for fishing . New River Gorge National Park is not far either. I like Pappy's place but this is so much closer to home.much cooler weather also .

Most probably paid bills and used it for necessities as so many were laid off. You guys with money coming out your rearends have no clue what some folks go through. To add to that, there are those right now who have to decide on whether to pay for fuel oil, or food, or rent, or whatever else is messed up right now. You just don't have any idea what some rural working folks face. And by the way, $3000.00 a year for gas is likely more than ten percent of a lot of folks yearly income.

Wish it were a thousand miles closer. Will manage to hit the ASA shoot in CT in a few weeks. (About 67 miles.)

Good luck to all shooting and TAKE PICTURES, PLEASE!

I went in 2019. It was a nice place and I liked the camping though I wish I had a shadier spot as it was very hot. I would request a campsite back in the woods if I went again. The bowhunter defense range was great to shoot and get around on but the competition range was tough for me as I was scheduled for a knee replacement the day after the shoot and getting around some of the blow downs was tough. There is a lot to do in the area around where it is being held and it is a nice area. The lodge there looks very nice and we ate dinner there one night and it was great. The shoot was well coordinated and ran on schedule. There were no food concessions on site and no vendors that were selling anything. I have home care issues with a sick loved one and will not attend this year. Amen Mr. Stout, people on a fixed income such as Social security and what we get in retirement are causing many of us to carefully consider how we spend what we have now days.

Been there and it's a nice place, but it would make more sense to keep it more central it they are concerned with drawing maximum numbers.I think it keeps a lot of people away if you have to travel 8,10 or more hours on the road. Not really complaining but i'll most likely miss it this year. So I'm with you Kurt.

I actually know people that bought new cell phones with the money they got from the gubment. And people get what they vote for.

Well you can find a few I would guess, but you will also find a lot who needed it just to live. You find what you want to find to suit a narrative, just like major media networks. I know first hand folks who are struggling plenty...if you don't understand that, then you are incapable of understanding it because you never were in that situation.

Well to act like you know everyone’s history is very presumptive. I do know people that live like that. We have a lot of homeless people where I live now.

So how many targets do they set for this event? One course? Two?

Three 25 target ranges for competition(you can shoot in 3 classes). A 25 target hunters challenge and the shoot down targets .

Someone who has been there please tell me about camping. Is there camping near enough to the competition that we don't have to drive from camp or walk a half mile between camp and ranges. Walking is getting harder for me.

You will have to drive to where you shoot the IBO course from where you camp.

Here you go with the full facts. Every year we try to incorporate new ways to make this event different and more for all. IBO is 3 courses, A B C of 25 targets each. The classes for each range are on the facebook and website, at ibotraditional.net so you can shoot in 3 classes if you like. Bowhunter Challenge is 25 targets. There is camping on site and in the near vicinity. The courses are within the Pipestem State Park boundaries. The IBO Trad World is set in locations with a 2 year contract. We were in Pipestem a few years ago with great attendance. For some reason, the Trad World has approximately the same attendance every year. Twin Oaks never disappoints any of us. Hopefully one day we will be back there in traditional heaven. Pipestem is a wonderful place also, and Larry Kade sets up a super, world class course for all of us to enjoy and check our archery skills. Pipestem is cool, so bring a long sleeve shirt for the mornings. There is so many extras to enjoy in Pipestem for the whole family. Yes times are tough, we all know this. If you can't come this year, look forward to better times next year and see your then. Thanks to all of you for your support of the IBO, and we will continue to make the Trad World a go to event every year.

Ditto Bownana (above)

Also...our wonderful events do suffer from fires, wars, and politics...of course...but mainly they call for enthusiasm and not for economic theories. Me, I can't travel as much as I did for medical reasons and ...and because I focus on my region.

google just 2018 date?

I'll see you there Shana!

This year there are 25 targets IBO per range and you shoot 25 on Sunday for the final day. There are 25 on the Bowhunter Challenge. Archers can shoot in 3 classes on 3 different ranges if they like.

I’d like to go just to see Rick Welch shoot

I'll be there on Thursday. Staying off property.

Jim Compliment

I'm confused about the new format. We used to shoot 2 courses and then the top shooters had a shoot off at the end. Now we shoot one 25 shot course and then everyone shoots another on Sunday with the total score used for the Championship ?

Same format as the last few years except you shoot 25 targets instead of 30 the 1st round then on Sunday you shoot 25 more in a peer group. 3 25 target ranges because you can shoot in 3 different classes if you wish. You have to chose 1 of the classes you shot for the Sunday peer grouping .

Everyone gets to shoot the final day .

Good luck everyone.

If I can swing it, I’m going to show up, find the class I qualify in, shoot it and win it. That’s the plan anyway. We will see I reckon. If I can get the time. :^)

I will try to explain with an example of a 60 yo man, Tom, shooting. Tom can shoot one class, two classes, or three classes. Tom comes to the shoot and is 60 years old: signs up for Senior Trad shooting on course "A" 25 targets being peer grouped at 8am Thursday morning. Shoots course A. Then decides to shoot Senior Longbow on Range "B" 25 different targets peer grouped at noon. Then talks with his friend who says come shoot range C another 25 targets in modern longbow by changing his arrows from wood to carbon, and shows up Friday morning at 8am for peer grouping. Then he enjoys a few rounds on the Bowhunter Challenge course another 25 targets. Tom plays some of the fun (free) archery games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings. Then Sunday morning he says to himself, well I shot good in Senior Trad so I will compete in that class Sunday morning bringing his Senior Trad scorecard with him at 730am and putting in the box marked Senior Trad to be peer grouped #1 thru #5, or #6 thru #10, and so on and so forth. He finishes Sunday final 25 targets to be added to his first 25 target total. Sunday awards for the Trad World will be immediately following the archers finishing the course. About noon on Sunday.

You have two times 8am and noon on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to shoot your qualifying round on the IBO course of 25 targets. You turn your cards in and you will get one back to bring with you on Sunday for the finals to be peer grouped. You will be able to shoot a Bowhunter Challenge for awards also and the top 15 archers from the orange stake classes on the BH Challenge, the top 15 from the white stake classes, and the top 15 women will shootdown on Saturday night in the 3 Rivers Champions Showcase Shootdown. There are several games and shootdowns every evening. There is a kids event, Dinosaur SAfari, for the very young beginner and a kids shootdown for the bigger ones on Saturday at 3pm. Remember you can shoot in one class or 2, or 3. See ibotraditional facebook for more info, and the ibotraditonal.net website for schedule of events. You may also call Levy at 850-393-4078 for further info.

On Thursday only a 12pm peer group. Friday and Saturday is an 8am and 12pm peer groups

Seems to me, that inflation has hit the IBO traditional world!

I may make the 30 mile drive if the Wife doesn’t have a project lined up for me.

The BH Challenge plaque for the Trad World is a beautiful piece of art and tribute to a friend, fellow Trad shooter and renown wildlife artist David Drinkard. Thanks to his wife we were allowed to use this print called “Morning Drink”. Big week ahead setting up this huge event. Lots and lots of shooting competition and games with prizes for all who come. Remember u don’t have to be an IBO member to shoot at the IBO Trad World. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Here is the championship buckle.

So after figuring out that with my wife, my grandson, myself, and all the stuff we need to pack, everything will not fit in my wife's car. Will have to take my truck.

Hedge sure hoping for gas to drop fast!!! Lol. Always good to see u. It’s sad for our country the agenda that’s being forced on us. Clydebow glad u have a truck! I know it’s not Nancy packing too much. It’s gotta be u with all ur outfits and matching shoes. Lol. Will be be great to see y’all.

To bad about having to take the Truck instead of the car Danny, hope everyone has a good time. I’m also waiting on the $2 gas Hedge, this will be the First IBO World I have missed since I started going in 2011. You all have fun. Kurt

"It’s gotta be u with all ur outfits and matching shoes." You must be thinking of John Demmer!

Thanks Kurt. Sorry you will miss it. Only way we could take the car would be to strap Joshua to the roof to make room.

Gas in the Pipestem area is currently priced from $4.65 to $4.79 from what I have seen in the last week.

I am rooting for MP. He is a WV guy.

Yep. Under 4$ in Kentucky and Tennessee. Stopped for gas on the way home from Pappy's Critter shoot before we got back to Illinois.

Babysaph,I tore my knee up today so no world championship for me for sure

Staying at Camp Creek.

We got here this afternoon. Left Lake Egypt at 5:30 this morning. Forty minute drive to Paducah Ky for gas. Taking the truck worked out okay. With a 36 gal tank, and the EcoBoost engine, I got 20 mph on the hwy. Made it here on one tank.

Danny, I hope you,Nancy and Joshua shoot well and have a great time.

WTH MP. Now who do I root for?

I have to root for Dan and Nancy,and My friend Lee from Florida.

Guess I will go with Rick Welch now

Who were Last Three in the Arvin Shootdown??

Super~

I hope everyone had a great time, post scores and names of winners if you can. Thanks

TTT

not sure how it went but a good friend of mine Paul won the Arvin Weaver self bow shoot down. I think Tony came in second from the pictures he sent me.Hope it went well for them. Pappy

I saw this and got a charge. Buch Holler!

What was attendance? Last two shoots there in WV for Trad W was very low compared to the last two at TO and one of the or both were Covid Year shoots.

Trad Worlds once again was great. Pipestem offered three very challenging courses for the IBO Championship. Had to bring ur A game. Loved every shot including the alligator on the rocks. Lol. The Bowhunter Challenge was absolutely that. Expect nothing less than a challenge going to a Trad World Championship. I think we were all tested and know what to work on for next year. Over 250 of the finest most accomplished 3D traditional archers showed up, had fun, competed, and left with the utmost respect for all who made the podium. Thank you Larry and Becky Kade for all the hard work you put in to make this happen at a gorgeous venue. Those ranges were set like terrain in three different states. The thought and time u took to set the targets was noted and appreciated by many. Thanks to Mark Lynde for his expertise and work all weekend. Thanks Rod Jenkins for giving your time and sharing your wisdom. His seminar was enjoyed by many. Special thanks Debbie Brooks, Edith Bain, Robin & Paul Vogel, Kim Timberlake, Joella Bates, Bill Curlis, Randy Irvine for help when needed. And this year the IBO presented the second annual Ambassador Award voted on by his peers to Spanky Brooks. So deserving, the epitome of an ambassador for all in traditional archery. And every year the afternoon games at the Trad World are sponsored by generous companies who support IBO Traditional and the archers. Big thanks to: 3Rivers Archery, Trad Tech Lancaster Archery, CD Archery, Bob Lee Bows, Arvin Weaver Selfbows, Safari Tuff, Ravenclaw Archery, the IBO tournament archers for the donations to the kids shootdown and the Dinosaur Safari. Pics will be posted soon of the fun. Sad it’s over and can’t wait til next year. Thanks to all the archers who came to enjoy and spend time doing what we all love. Thanks again from the IBO Trad staff.

Congratulations to Kenny and Jamie !!!!!!!!

Congrats to Kenny, Jamie, Paul,and Paul's wife Sara!

Had to add this for my wife Nancy. She had been working hard to overcome a rough period with a shooting problem last year. We had a little mishap Thursday morning which resulted in the bottom limb of her 32lb Bob Lee P3 recurve breaking. Shanna, being the wonderful and caring person she is, immediately loaned her own Bob Lee longbow to Nancy to shoot the Hunters Challenge. She started to shoot well, but the weight difference worked on her a bit. I had her try my grandson's bow, and she won the Senior Women's division with his 30lb Samick Deer Master after not having shot it before. Very proud of the effort she made to overcome the disappointment she had about her bow breaking.

Nice story with a Happy Ending

Congratulations to Nancy--the overcomer.

:)

Congratulations Nancy!!

Congratulations.

My 15 year old grandson, Mason Cheak, got second place on Bowhunter Challenge, and IBO. He has always shot split finger and instinctive, as he was taught by me, but is chomping at the bit to try 3 under and gap. More power to him ! Anybody reccomend a good 3 under tab ? Thanks to all that made this happen, its alot of work, and they deserve high praise !

Big thanks to those sponsors that donated the prize money as well.

Proud of all those kids!

Congrats to him Randy! Of course we were there and saw him up there.

If he devoted just a little time to it Clyde, i think he could dominate. Baseball has a grip on him during 3-d season though, and then theres friends, and now, girls….., hmmm, that will def get in the way!

As far as the Nancy story, just proves its the archer, not the bow. Way to whip some bad luck Nancy !

Wondering when all the scores will be posted, and Congratulations to all the Winners. Maybe I can make it next year and have fun with the rest of my friends.

ask yer buddy Danny. he knows all the winners.

all the pics are on IBO Trad FB site.

It was a great time. We stayed at the pipestem lodge and turned it into a small family vacation. Expensive.. but cheaper than Disney lol. They have a the water park for the kids and gamerooms and all other kinds of things to get into.

The weather was pretty much perfect. I loved the new 3 course format allowing more choices in shooting multiple classes. Everyone did a great job putting this event on! Thanks for your hard work!
