What a great weekend! TBG 2016 State Shoot

[Jake Allen]

Gotta thank all of the help on Friday setting the targets, courses and registrations area. Also, thanks to everybody who participated in the Coon Shoot Friday evening. We hope you had a blast.

We had 122 registered shooters this year, and quite a few more who participated in one way or another.

Thanks to everyone who came to shoot with us. That means the world to us and you are the reason we host this event!

Thanks to the Boy Scouts and their leaders for cooking breakfast and lunch. They all camped, shot bows and had a good time.

Thanks Robert Carter for the Hunting Seminar, and thanks Todd and Dendy for the Eagle Eye competition.

Thanks to everyone who brought food, helped set up and take down, and participated in the Potluck supper Saturday evening, If you missed it, well, you missed it.
Good job Michelle with the coordination; thank you.
There was venison, wild hog, chicken, beef and pork, beans, peas, potatoes, stews, slaws, salads and breads, stuffed eggs and of course, desserts. Like I said, if you missed it, you missed it.

Great lesson and Devotion Sunday Morning Todd, thank you.

Thanks to DD Quillian and his Mother for allowing us to hold this shoot in Memory of Dan Quillian.

The 2016 Edition and 6th Annual Dan Quillian Memorial State Shoot is in the books and was another Shining Event and Time for The Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia, for our members and all of the people who attended and enjoyed shooting , and enjoyed the fellowship and friendships, the strong families, and being outside in God’s wonderful creation. We are truly blessed.

As Dr. Bill Knight has said on different occasions, “There seems to be a special bond to those of us who like to do things the hard way”. So very true.

Had a great time, which is not hard to do when you are amongst a bunch of fine folks you are comfortable being with. Thanks to all who made it happen, and kept me well fed and watered while I was there.

We started the weekend Fri getting Big Jim setup


Fishing was next....




Sat am I shot one round then a long break....



Mid day took my chances at the Elk even though Mikey was only 3" from the bullseye w his shot....


Then RC gave a speech.


Shot another round then more fishing til the cookout....


I shot my rounds w people I don't normally shoot with and Sun am was no different. D.D, Jeanine and Rusty. Rusty was in sixth place starting Sun round and I watched him shoot great and win the division!



After awards it was time to get Big Jim packed up. Barry is doing his usual....

Then Donnie and I fished some more.


I took this shot midday Sat and it was a spot I rode to several times just for the view.

We had a wonderful time as always

 

[Todd Cook]

Well, another state shoot is in the books. And it truly was a good one . We were blessed with good weather. I want to thank all those that attended. I don't think anybody could have left unhappy. Nope, too much fun going on for that. Congrats to all the winners. There were a couple of amazing scores posted. And truly, some of those who didnt place still shot really well. Lots of talent around these parts. Thanks to all those that brought food, who stayed and helped us break camp and clean up. Good times for sure.

It was great all the way around. I don't know of a better group of people anywhere. I'm glad I can call you all friends. My attendance was limited to Saturday but I enjoyed every second of it. Thank you to everybody who put in so much hard work to make it possible. I got to shoot again with somebody that I've looked up to for a long time. I was tired as a dog on the drive home but it was well worth it.

State Shoot DQ 2016

I attended later on Sunday due to some important weekend errands. I wanted to thank TBG for hosting another great event. Its been a full year for me with making my rounds. I was able to bring along my brother (drove 6.5 hrs from Christinsburg, VA) to his first Trad Shoot. Well the pics say enough he was ear to ear with smiles. I think we have a new convert! Let's see how many bows he buys.

 

[AllAmerican]

Here he is smiling again, he really had a good time thanks TBG, the Rock, and Big Jim for some highly valued arrow advice!
