I plan to be there next Sat and Sun (Feb 22 and 23). Scheduled to do a string making seminar one or both days (not sure), but mainly going for the socializing and shooting.

It's at Tannehill State Park just South of Birmingham, AL near McCalla, AL. Beautiful park, always a nice set-up. Tons of vendors scheduled to be there--gonna' be a fun time as always!

Had a great time. Lots of vendors, perfect weather, good course. I shot my "el cheapo" Samick Journey with a new BCY-X string. I wasn't expecting much since I haven't shot much at all in the last 6 months or more, plus I didn't have time to tune the bow--made a string Wed. or Thursday, shot maybe 2 dozen arrows from it before leaving for the shoot.

My first (and best) round was a 314. 36 targets, we counted 12's. Only shot four "5's", no blanks. Shot a clean round again today, didn't add up the score but I know it wasn't quite as good. Almost reached that 9 points per target goal--arrgghh!!!

Got lots of comments on how quick and quiet the bow was, with just a small set of cat whisker silencers. I'm loving this BCY-X more and more. I was pulling 51# @ 3.5", arrows weigh 434 grains (8.5 gpp). Haven't shot it through a chrony, but it's obviously faster than my longbow (I kept shooting high, and I shoot almost 10 gpp on it). I averaged 187 fps on my longbow when I chrony'd it years ago.

With a little fine tuning, this may be a bow I keep around for a while. Think they retail for around $130. The string that comes on them isn't too good, but with a good string and a little tuning they shoot really well.

Anyhow...the shoot was great--can't wait until the next one!
