The Illinois Bowfishers bowfishing and kid's archery booth was a great success.

Thanks to our many volunteers and supporters!!

Even with the horrendous weather we stayed really busy.

Great camo.

Oh yeah, there were some of those antlered things there too.

Some cull deer. :rofl:

GREAT JOB EVERYONE helping the kids.

Glad I got to meet some of you at the booth.
Now Ihave to get set up for bowfishing again, practice a little & come have fun at one of your shoots.

Count me in for helping you all out with the kids shoot next year too.

Good to finally meet you, Lynn. Thanks again for helping out.

Same here Jason.
Always nice to put a face with a name.
If I can sneak out out of the house 2 weekends in a row. I will try to get over to Springfield& check out the UBI events.
If not I will try to come to a couple of shoots or something that you guys are putting on.

There sure were a ton of people there, even with all of the wind and freezing rain we had. Who'd have guessed that hunters would come out in bad weather. It wasgood thing we had so many volunteers, 16 of them if I heard right.
Thank youChristine and Kendall for getting it organized and making sure we had enough help.

It was good to see you all again, and meet some guys that I have managed to miss over the last few years, including Fishstix, LynnW., Bloodcreek, Tim Nuss, and one or two others I can't remember at the moment.

I heard the trip was rough for those who headed North to go home on Saturday evening. Glad you made it OK.

See y'all at next year's show if I don't see you on the water first.

Proof positive that Christine attracts all the hot guys.

Some great pictures and it looks like everyone, especially the kids had alot of fun

Ishould have come over, it looks as though it was a really good time.
