Default Nice meeting you at the Ill. deer and turkey classic

Well after the whiteknuckle drive going home in the ice and 30 mph winds, I can say it was nice meeting all you that were running the bow fishing booth as well as the HNI booth. I got some great gearand it was a pleasure talking to everyone. I think im interested in bowfishing once again. thanks for the spark. My god that 8' gar was huge

It wasnice to meet you too, Dan.
It's always good to be able toconnect a screenname with a face, especially another bowfisherman.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see you at one of the bowfishing events in the area this year.

Watch for picsof the event in the next few days.

Chris

I was nice to meet you too Dan. I hope we were helpful, and I hope to see you this summer at some of our shoots.

It was nice to finally meet Robin. We had a ball people-watching. And thanks again for bringing that gar. Man that thing's HUGE!! I couldn't imagine pulling that in the boat.

Ditto that. Was nice to meet you in person. and thanks from bringing the wopper. Are your feet sore from standing for 2 1/2 days. I have worked a lot of booths over the years, and it is a lot of standing. But sure worth doing. I love to watch the people too, especially when there is some thing like that huge gar. thanks again...johnny b.

Everyone needs to thank Christine and Uncle Dave for bringing the gar. They came to St. Louis to pick it up and get it to the show.

"People watching"...yes indeed, it was good at times.

Just think if we were next to the margarita booth. The traffic would have been blocked in all directions.

...anyhow...

I'm really trying to catch up on my real work, but I have to post these two pictures.

The show was a blast.
I just loved working with the kids atthe range.
It's so cool to watch a little one's face light up when they hit the target, or pop a balloon for the first time.

Lots of laughs and good times working together like this is a big part of why I like this group. As you know, I'll help out again whenever I can.

Margarita anybody? You just stand right there while I go get it for you.

I think that booth made more cash than the admission booth did.
