IBO Winternationals
 

Hi everyone!!!
Just got word that there is a BIG BIG Stock Show going on in Fort Worth the same weekend as the Winternationals. So if you are and we hope you are going, it would be best to make lodging arrangements NOW.
Go to www.cowtownbowmen.com and then to "Winternationals" and they have a hotel link under Lodging.

Don't I wish!!!!
I have a few weeks vacation in the Fall, so I'm going to be in and out. Plus, I'm busy doing the Sponsor Program, Yearbook, etc. etc. etc. AND since we moved our office, every now and then we have been having problems logging on.
Glad I was missed! Hope all is well with you Brandon.

you're right, judy. that's a huge stock show complete with rodeo and carnival. it's located at the will rogers coliseum complex just a bit west of downtown ft worth. cowtown bowmen's range is on the northwest outskirts and should be away from the extra traffic.

it is a very good idea for folks to make their reservations now, though. we'll be staying at the rv ranch south of ft worth. it's not the closest rv park (it's about 45 minutes away), but it's really nice. also, it's close to family and friends. i lived over 50 yrs near there.

rv ranch
2301 south interstate 35w
burleson, texas 76028
817-426-5037

cowtown rv park is about 15 minutes away from the range. it's rather small, so if you're planning to camp there, you might make reservations early.
cowtown rv park
7000 east interstate 20
aledo, texas
817-441-7878

i'm sure there are other rv parks around, but i don't have any info on them.

hope this info helps some of you.

SURE DO WISH I COULD BE THERE BUT TEXAS IS JUST TOO FAR FOR ME TO TRAVEL TO BE EMBARRASSED BY THE LIKES OF JDOYLE AND BOWTECHSHOOTER

RE: IBO Winternationals
 

As a person that likes to shoot the IBO stuff but lives here in the Northwest where they don't have many IBO shoots with any kind of a National &quot;flavor&quot;, my big question is why did they move the Winter National shoot to Texas??

There have been about 15 of us from Idaho, Oregon, etc. that at least can reach Arizona in less than a week without taking an airplane. It was kind of a nice deal for once.

I know that the attendance wasn't big, but it did seem to be growing. Now we don't have the opportunity any more.

How about a little &quot;equal time&quot; for the West Coast??

DDD

RE: IBO Winternationals
 

I will be shooting at the Cowtown shoot, I'am a membe of that club and I practice there about once a week, It's only 10 min. from my house!
This will be my first IBO shoot ever and I'am more then a little nervous!! If anybody needs a place to camp I recommend Oakdale PArk in Glenrose,TX it's about 45 min. from the shoot but it's a nice little park that is very quiet!
How many people on here are planning on being there? I'am looking forward to meeting as many new people as possible!!

RE: IBO Winternationals
 

The question of why Texas is ansered by a couple points.
Texas has formed a state chapter of IBO affiliated clubs. That organization had for several years been seeking a National level IBO event.
The Arizona Bowhunters Organization decided that the event in Arizona had reached it's potential in their area and chose to not operate this event for this coming year.
Combine those two and that's how we got to Texas.
We would love to do an event or a series in the northwest.I have spoken to several people and groups there in the past few years and expressed the same sentiment. BUT, in order to do that we have to be invited. I'm open to ideas and would love to do this.
If anyone has a suggestion we are open.

hi there, leftyjim. i used to camp at oakdale park in glen rose. you're right. it's a really nice place. my husband and i will be camped at the rv ranch just south of ft worth on i-35w. it's quiet, too, and is about 45 minutes from winternationals (interstate all the way.)

if any of you decide to camp in glen rose at oakdale park, you might want to visit nearby dinosaur state park. also, one of the best barbecue places in tx is in glen rose. i can't remember the name of it (it's not hammonds), but it's just on the left (in an old building that has wagon wheels out front)as you go into glen rose. mmmmmmmm!!! and their banana pudding!! we drive over to glen rose at least once each winter just for the barbecue.

we're anxious to meet as many of you as we can. so----see you in cowtown!

jim, you'll have a great time in cowtown. if you get a chance, go to exchange street just north of downtown at the old stockyards. it's real touristy with old saloons, old hotels where cowboys used to stay over when bringing in cattle, etc... billy bob's is there as is the white elephant saloon. they have a &quot;cattle drive&quot; almost every day with &quot;real cowboys.&quot; it's a neat place.

are you sure you're flying home on monday? the texas state archery association is having the 2003 texas state indoor championship tournament just about 4 or 5 miles from cowtown bowmen's range on the weekend after winternationals. we've already registered at http://www.texasarchery.org. this will be our first time to shoot an indoor tournament. kind of excited.

life is good--winternationals and a state indoor tournament within 10 consecutive days.

actually, i've done a lot of surfing and have found about a dozen shoots for us this winter while we're snowbirding in texas. (most are ibo qualifiers) then we're planning to go to the arizona cup in april on our way back to montana. like i said--life is good. we're excited about the new experiences and meeting new folks.

have a good weekend.

RE: IBO Winternationals
 

I'm looking forward to this shoot. I've shot cowtown 3 or 4 times and they always have great shoots. I'll be shooting MBR, any other MBR shooters out there. Looking forward to meeting some new friends that enjoy the sport.

Cowtown RV park is a nice place to camp also and it's right out Rt.20 about 10 min. from the shoot! Ifanybody has any questions about the area let me know. I belong to Cowtown Bowmans and I live about 10 min. away from the range.
