The Branson Bowbash

RE: The Branson Bowbash
RedHawk, we had a blast. I usually bring a couple extra bowfishing bows for those who either can't bring theirs or don't have one. Just show up and have fun. Just don't count on a lot of sleep. Several days were bowfishing till 2:00 am, then up at 4:00 am to hunt turkey, then bowfish that night again. But it's not about the hunting or fishing. It's about getting together with friends and being hassled by Christine, and making new friends. The boys from Florida had never met any of us - even on-line - but now I'm going down there in March to hunt with them. Life don't get no better than when with family and friends who hunt.

Hunter06FlKy, two of the guys there were from Florida. They shoot a lot of tilapia. Maybe there's a place by you were you can find those fish.
I'm thinking of heading down to FL in March with Fishhunter to shoot some wild pigs and tilapia. (stuff that's easier to clean than carp)
Fishhunter, the winner of the quote of the trip goes to Joe. I was holding the flashlight while he cleaned a fish... I started doing the wandering beam of light thing and then when he gave me 'that look', I said.. "You know, I'm not happy unless I'm being a pain in the arse." Without missing a beat, Joe replied "Well then, you must be the happiest person in the world."
Bwhaahaahahahaaha!
Red Hawk, the next Bowbash will probably be held around the end of April. We'll be advertising it a bit more than we did this one. I'll get you more details as the event draws closer. It really is a blast.
We are also having the HuntingNet/Benefit4Kids 3D archery shoot and Pig Roast here in Northern IL on August 27th, 2005. I know it's a long way for a 3D shoot.. but it's something to think about.

Keep in mind that it's not JUST a 3-D Shoot, there will also be celebrity appearances from Todd Graf and yours truely.
Remember to bring your sharpies, we will be signing autographs.

Both events sound really cool and i'll definetly go whenever i can. Sad to say I won't be able to make it to the 3D shoot this year. As for the bowfish event of next year, its very possible. And thank you for getting me more details as time gets closer to it. I actually did have a quick question in regards of becoming a mordator in the youth sections..I posted a ''poll' there if you like to check it out lol

Hmm.. It was mostly I55 through IL. [72 to 47 to 38 to 39 to 55 to 70 to 270 to 44 to 65 to 465 or something like that)
You should have waved. [8D]

RE: The Branson Bowbash
Ahh...I see. You were a good 45 miles or so, I think, as the crow flies, from me. I live on highway 106, if you know where that is.
I seen that, What is that? I was thinking maybe a Phantom, but to me the pylons (the things the cams attach to, for the non oneida shooters) look too big, so Im gonna go with either a Strike Eagle or a Screaming Eagle. I thought you got an Osprey?

It's a T-III. An older and heavier Oneida, but it sure does kabob those carp nicely.
I'd like to get an Osprey but I'm a lefty and it's an extra $100.00 to the lefty version. Maybe I'll talk Oneida into sponsoring me. heh heh heh.
