Default Deer Classic pictures

A huge thanks goes out to all the folks that helped us with the Illinois Bowfishers booth at the show!!

If you like deer, there were well over 600 set of antlers there. Some half decent ones too.

Deer are nice but for us it was about bowfishing and friends.



I never get tired of seeing kids faces when they see Keith Riehn's monster gar and
hearing "Whoa! Thats a BIGGGGG fish." Thanks to Keith for letting us use it again.

This was the biggest group we could get together. It was kinda like herding cats.



This was partly the reason. The aisles were full almost constantly.



That didn't stop Glen Helgeland (Target Communications and Deer Classic owner) from finding us. Glen wrote the book 'Successful Bowfishing' back in 1984. It covered everything from carp to gator gar to stingrays and mola mola.


We we did get out to see some of the show ourselves thanks to all the great help. Here Kendall gets a chance to talk with Kevin Irons of the IL Natural history Survey about Asian carp and the news of his job being transfered to the U of I from the DNR.


Here Flint knapper Mark McDaniel uses an alligator gar scale we gave him to put the final edge on one of his heads.

We had a club meeting on Saturday after the show.

We discussed upcoming events, successful legislation, legislation we are watching and we ate lots and lots of pizza.



Can you tell that Joseph (slim23) misses bowfishing? These are the mechanical fish we use for our kids shooting booths.

I got some pics of the deer skeleton this year too.
Notice the shape of the foreleg and front shoulder. (for new deer hunters)



Also notice how the relative position of the shoulder and vitals change as the deer is viewed from above, quartering away and toward.

Good Pics. We can all learn from them. You need to bring them back out in September.
