Here are some local hotels and restaurants at exit 172 in Dickson. These are all about 15 minutes away from Buck Hollow. Also Montgomery Bell State park (also about 15 min away on hwy 70) is an excellent park with full electrical and water hookups for big campers if you need electric and water. We will have primitive camping at BHB with fire wood provided, we have a water source and a one person shower that is first come first serve. We have great food served from 7:00 am until 3:00 pm during the days of the shoot. We actually have neighbors that show up on our open shoot days just to eat. It will be here before we know it!

Can’t wait, one of my favorite shoots from last year

It’s a wonderful shoot. Can’t wait.

BHB puts on a great shoot. I've been the last two years and already have a room reservation for the coming event in February.

Nancy and I will be there!

One of my favorite shoots!

Here is the 2023 schedule for Buck Hollow for the ones that have asked! See ya in 2023!

Tracey and I need to make the trip there one of these years. We will see if we can make it for 2023

Planning on it Goob.:)Always fun and a very nice set up, hard to beat the folks that run it also. Pappy

Maybe I can make it this year, sure would like to.

Sounds like a good pre spring warm for spring gobbler season. Got family close to shoot not real close but close enough. About 2 hours away,this trip might just happen.

We had a great turn out for our annual Christmas for Kids shoot at Buck Hollow on the 10th. Entry fee was a new unwrapped toy to shoot the course. We filled up a fullsize F-150 with a topper on it from the floor to the roof. All the toys were donated to the YMCA/Help center. Our Archery family is awesome. We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and we will see you soon ant Buck Hollow! God is Good!

A couple more pictures!

There will be some happy kids on Christmas morning thanks to our awesome group of members, members wives and friends! Proud to be a part of such a great group!

If you are going after them on this last day Pappy I wish you much success. Look forward to seeing you and our Twin Oaks Brethren soon!

Buck Hollow Crew puts on a great shoot! See y’all there!

Corey

I intend to be there! Got a little camper to bring this year, then south to the TBOF shoot in Florida !

Couple questions, is there firewood available? How early can we arrive? Can we camp sunday night ?

Thanks !

Randy I know they have fire wood but not sure on the Sunday night camping, I would say probably yes but am sure Goober will chime in on this. Pappy

Thanks Pappy. Randy, there will be plenty of firewood there, we also have a one-person shower that most folks don't know about. It is there for all to use, first come first serve. We will be over there all week leading up to it. We have had folks show up and set up camp on Thursday and that is fine. When are you wanting to arrive? And yes, on staying Sunday. We usually have one or two that stay Sunday night and roll out on Monday. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

We are glad to announce that Black Widow Bows will be back for the Spring Fling this year. We will be raffling off a new Black widow recurve again this year too. Once the cards are gone they are gone so get them while they last.

Thanks crowfoot ! I will have my own shower, and chainsaw, if I you have any downed wood you need cut. We intend to head towards Florida, either Sunday or Monday is why I asked. Momma don’t like cold, so it’s depending on conditions, day by day.

A month from today !!!!! Looking forward to seeing a lot of old friends and flinging some arrows. Pappy

Just received word that Great Northern Quivers will be there to set up and vend. Selway is leaning towards coming as well. JP from JP enterprises has told me he will be there as well. Big Jim, Black Widow you should be able to find any of your supplies you may need. The countdown is on! See you soon Pappy.

Here is a look at the event shirts for this year, be sure and ask for them when you get there. once they are gone they are gone.

Need fat guy sized shirts lol, looks great, can’t wait. Got my youngest son talked into coming along

Hope y’all have them in 3x tall

Just had to remind Nancy to get our room in town.

Self Bow Killah, Quite a name there!

We had a little critter shoot over there this weekend and did a little work to get ready. We are at 25 days and counting. Its flying by now! See everyone soon.

Yep won't be long,Making plans and looking forward to seeing all my friends. Pappy

I would like to donate a Black Hunter td recurve, 6 carbon arrows, and quiveras a set. You guys can raffle it to raise money, or some type drawing. Its 30# draw weight, so would work for kids as well as adults. Just my way to help out, but mostly to get a complete setup in the hands of a child, or beginner in need.

I would post a pic, but it is being shipped. I will post a pic as soon as I get it.

That is awesome Randy, we really appreciate that and I love the intention for the donation. I too want to see it in the hands of a newbie and to get them shooting and loving it like we love it. Thanks!

We are 3 weeks away from the Tennessee Pre-Spring Arrow Fling! We have a big working planned for this weekend. We will be ready to roll in just a few weeks! God is Good!

17 days away from the 2023 Tennessee Pre Spring Arrow Fling! Look for this banner out by the road at Old Sylvia. Big thanks to Terry Harris and his wife Rhonda for letting us have the banner and wishing us luck with the moving it to Tennessee. We will see you at the Howard Hill shoot that Terry does such a great job with each year.

See everyone soon! Counting down the days!

No doubt, great folks putting on this shoot, y'all need to make it.

Terry Harris

What are the six classes at the shoot?

Can't wait will be 1st time there.

So here is a pic of the bow and arrow setup for donation. Hoping this gets in the hands of a youth, or newbie in need of a setup, or an upgrade of their setup.

Its 60”, 30#@28”. 6 carbon arrows, and quiver

Thanks for the pictures, Roger Therber. Thanks Randy Grider for that donation, I'm going to post that picture on our face book page, we will have a seperate drawing for that. You will have to be a newbie or a youth to be eligible. Thats awesome man!

Thats awesome Crowfoot! Its why i picked that poundage, it will work for about anyone. A kid with a short draw length may only get 20#’s out of it, yet as they grow, and their draw length grows, they will get more poundage, and can shoot it into adulthood.

I think thats a key ingredient for any new archer, light poindage.

LongHunter, there is no Bare Bow class, all the others you mentioned are correct for men as well as for women. we also have a mens and womens senior, youth trad, Junior trad cub and peewee. We actually have 13 classes now and we give plaques out for 1st 2nd and 3rd to each class except peewee, we have some medals for the little ones. You can shoot multiple classes, full price for your 1st entry and if you want to shoot another class it will cost you another 10 bucks. Only your first round counts for score. You can shoot as many rounds as you want once you are registered. You may take home a few of these? We went with a slice of elm and some laser engraved plaques this year, they look amazing! Hope you make it down.

The plastic is hiding the looks, it is really sharp looking out of the plastic.

Closing in on yall Gobber.As one that kind of knows what it takes to pull one of these event off I would just like to say thanks,I know the work it takes and yall do a supper job of it. Pappy

Thanks Pappy, it seems like we never stop working at it. I heard you say it before, once the Classic is over you start working toward the next Classic. We have had some pretty good company to learn from. We couldn't do it nor would we be where we are without the Twin Oaks Bowhunters and thats fact. Thanks again and we will see you soon.

time to sweep the porch crowfoot

Thats exactly how it works at our shoot. We finnish putting targets away, and cleaning up, we sit on the porch and say “well, thats another one under our belts. Any suggestions on ways to improve next year?”

Then we usually spend an hour and a half hashing it out. It gets easier as the years go, except we get older.

Id encourage every club to get more youngsters involved, because one day we will be dead or unable.

Sadly, we are not having much luck with that.

Everyone that helped set targets today was 58-70 years old.

Makes ya think.

Thanks Goob, ya that is kind of where we are at Randy, lots of old guys, we all love it but not sure how long we will be able, as they say"do the math" Buck hollow is lucky to have some young folks involved that will carry them on for a long while, that is a Blessing for sure. Pappy

We are a blessed bunch for sure and we do have some young bucks that should carry the torch in the future hopefully. we are down to less than 2 weeks.

Ho early can we arrive to set up camp? Im in a small camper, and have my own bathroom facilities, generator, gas, etc.

Im in retirement, and trying to enjoy myself at a slow pace ! Lol.

Randy, we will be in and out from over there all week. You are welcome to come in and get set up whenever you want.

Thanks a bunch crowfoot ! Plan to get there by thirsday for sure, unless the wife gets ansy. Id just as soon come on earlier and help out if i could.

Getting close and the weather is looking good also.For Feb. in Tennessee you couldn't ask for much better. Pappy

Yea figuring in we have about a week and we will be having folks show up!

Looking forward to seeing this crew!

O we will be there , I will have to say that is a good looking bunch right there. Pappy

Well it is finely here, see yall this weekend. Pappy

I will be there!

We have been working hard, i think its one of the best courses we have ever set up. Cant wait, just 4 more days.

I can't wait to see what you came up with this time.

Here is a schedule of events. The concession stand will open at 7:00 am and close at 3:00 pm the same as the range. If you have questions get then to me before Thursday. After Wednesday I won't be on here for being at BHB getting the show on the road!

Thanks, DeWayne

You guys got potable water on sight? I could fill up at home, but already have a pretty big load and hate to haul an extra 350# for 250 miles, gas being what it is. Also single axle trailer i think about tires and wheel bearings.

Just bring your jugs Randy, we have water there for you to fill your jugs with. See you soon!

To add to the schedule of events we will be shooting a Final Tribute Arrow for G. Fred Asbell at 4:30 pm Friday afternoon for those that would like to be a part of it.

Thanks crowfoot

Anybody be there between 6-7 tonight? Thought about coming on down. I just want to fill my camper fresh water tank and make sure of where you want me to set camper

I sent you a text message Randy!

I'm heading out Thursday morning, Dewayne, see you then

Thanks to everyone involved in putting this together. As usual, you all did a great job.

Nice job Goober and all the Buck Hollow guys/gals.First class as usual. Pappy

We shot on Saturday and had a great time. This was our first time at Buck Hollow. Outstanding job by all.

Shot all three days. Had a great time. Really good range. Thanks to the Buck hollow crew! We will be back for the vintage shoot.

Was good to see you again Mr Clyde! We had a great time as well. Thanks to the Buck Hollow gang for a good event!

First time there wife and I had a great time. Course was a freaking hoot to shoot! Will be back next year little over an hour away from our farm.

Memories

The laughter on the course was contagious Big groups letting smaller groups shoot through. The courtesy that Buck Hollow members extended to everyone was a real breath of fresh air. We won twice at the raffle and had a great discussion on the correct way of pronouncing ya'll over by the black bucks and getting to bang the going on the pronghorn shot lol

Great job Buck Hollow

Man we cant thank everyone who came out and supported us enough. It was a great shoot and for the 5th year in a row we have grown. We almost reached 400 registered shooters this year. I believe next year we may do it. Tell your friends about us. You guys keep coming and we will keep making it better! From all of us at Buck Hollow Thanks so, so, much.

Corey, Good to see you again! Congrats on placing in your division, I'm thinking 2nd place?

Averaging, if I remember correctly, a ten+ for 40 targets! Great shooting

Thanks to all the gang that made this shoot happen had a great time! See ya next year !

Special thanks to club president Dwayne Spann for the youth bow donation to KTBA for the upcoming tradfest! And Pappy from Twin Oaks of his beautiful donation of a handmade knife. Will post pics at some point.

Pappy’s donation, will put bow pic up tomorrow

That bow was given to me by Dan "Brother Dan" Hubener from Ohio Randy, thanks for seeing to it that it gets in the hands of a young'un!

Had i thought about you being there, i would have brought you the youth bow and arrow setup.
