Wanna Shoot Traditional?

[hntnfsh]

:D OSTA, the Ohio Society of Traditional Archers, is holding a shoot this weekend, July 12 & 13, at Rushcreek Sportsmen Club near Bellefontaine, Ohio.

There will be a Bowhunter Education Course on Saturday starting at 9 a.m. No charge and lunch will be provided by OSTA.

Don't have a trad bow? Never shot trad? I'll have an extra bow and arrows and I imagine there will be a few others as well. Come on out and see what we're all about. $10.00 for non-members; $5.00 for kids 11 - 13; Kids 10 and under ALWAYS shoot free. $20.00 cap per day for family's.

Thunderflight

[george tinkham]

yup,i would be dangerous,an then i would show viper,he would prolly come back ...then

[Thunderflight]

Actually if you buy a digital camera.

Then read the owners manual.

Then plug the camera into your computer.

Then down load the pictures on to your computer.

Then log on the internet.

Then post the pictures on a web site then you'd be good to go.

TF

Now that I've told you, please pull the pin.....:) :D :D

[Thunderflight]

I heard a rumor that a "real" celebrity might make a special appreance at that Trad Clinic in Sunbury on July 26th.

Thunderflight

[george tinkham]

[Thunderflight]

This guy is a "real" player. He's famous on a couple bowhunting websites.

TF

[george tinkham]

[Thunderflight]

His wife call's a "real" big oaf, but he not that small. He may come in from a far off distant land.

TF

[george tinkham]

[Thunderflight]

TF

[Thunderflight]

Well I guess if you ever have another blizzard of 75 or a "real" harsh winter then you'll have plenty of fire wood...:)

Thunderflight

[hntnfsh]

Lol! Fiberglass burns nice and HOT, I hear...

[george tinkham]

less than a year ago i had no bow...on some forums i used "no bow" for my handle.people sent me bows...

[Thunderflight]

George,

I'm an internet junkie and I don't ever remember "no bow".

Unless you hit the lottery there ain't no way you got the # number of bows you say you have in less than a year. Unless of course your really hoot..... Or hoot donated his colection. I swear he has just about all of them....:)

Thunderflight

[george tinkham]

i can prove i was"no bow" an it was true...i had no bow.it was on that other site,chatroom

[Thunderflight]

I'm calling you out....

:D

TF

[george tinkham]

[Thunderflight]

TF

[george tinkham]

[Thunderflight]

If you posted as "no bow" on the "other site" then post the thread.

They archive threads for one year....:)

Thunderflight

[george tinkham]

[heydeerman]

I know it says I am heydeerman but this is actually his friend "wish I had a bow". My address is

PO Box 842
Sunbury, Ohio 43074

My other name is " No Money"

[Thunderflight]

George,

I'm just poke'n at yah. I know you would never lie to me.

What's that saying they tried to imbed in us during TBS?

"Special Trust and Confidence"

Marines never lie. We may stretch the truth a bit and make it sound like something else, but we don't lie....;)

Thunderflight

[Thunderflight]

HDM,

We must be related. :D

TF

[george tinkham]

WE FIB SOME,NEVER LIE

[Thunderflight]

FIB is an acyronm for:

F= Fabricated

I= Interpited

B= Belife

;)

TF

[hntnfsh]

Man, I didn't see no CELEBRITY... Of course, Ron Ralston was there... I guess he qualifies!

Seriously, you folks missed a great shoot. Rushcreek has an Awesome sporting clays course where we set up the archery shoot. Out of a possible 600 points, the high score turned in was 570 (well, OK, there was one junior who turned in a 600...)

Anyway, we have another shoot coming in three weeks. Columbiana County Archers in Lisbon, OH.

Be there or be, well... somewhere else, I guess... :rolleyes:

[Thunderflight]

I thought that celebrity was coming to that trad clinic on Sunbury on the 26th?

I'd sure like to meet this guy. I hear he's really knowledgable.

TF

[hntnfsh]

By the way, we had 69 shooters on Saturday and 97 on Sunday. OSTA's half of the registration for the weekend goes to Bowhunter Education.

See you next shoot.

[george tinkham]

i heard the celeb was wayne newton,then i hear now its little jimmy dickens!!!you think its "real bow "just usin another alias???

[george tinkham]

i wonder,did the celeb show ...i may make it to the osta state shoot,wonder if a will git another present from my mystery admirer...i hear he is bald headed

[Thunderflight]

Yes the Celebrity showed up. Many people asked for his autograph as he graced Hunter Haven with his presence... :)

He signed many ah autograph and shook many ah hand. He gave pointers on proper traditional archery shooting.

It was truly a religous experience. He departed around 3:30 pm and was graced by the chanting of:

"Thunderflight!!!!, Thunderflight!!!, Thunderflight is a cool dude!!!!"

I had to push off the Hooters girls, because I am faithful to my wife....:D

Thunderflight

Due to the fact that my wife is watching unfortunatly I won't be posting any pictures of my Hooters fan club....;)

[george tinkham]

funny you mention the hooter girls,their white truck with hooters in orange sits just up the road from my house.

[Thunderflight]

Their WHAT!!!!!!!!!

I told them to go to your house....

I want my money back!!!!!!!

[george tinkham]

i'm still here,listenin to fred bear right now..."in the wind hes still alive"

[Thunderflight]

Are you sure your not just looking in the mirror and wearing that fedora while your talking to yourself? :D

TF

[Thunderflight]

So did you go swimming?

I would have gone over and asked if anyone had seen any of my arrows...:)

TF

[george tinkham]

no i went to the camper an mowed the grass an done some "hill" work...took my two dogs an muh ole lady...in the silver bullet!!!

[Thunderflight]

That silver bullet sure has some power. I could barely keep up with you on 270 when I was following you in my wife's white bus....:D

TF

[george tinkham]

yup the" silver bullet" is the fastest car i got.the" green truck" is a lemon.i've been tempted to take the silver bullet to colorado.i'm sure it could climb the mountains but the truck couldnt.my wife sez either one wont make it out their.that they will break down...

[Thunderflight]

I can see it now. You driving down the road in the "silver bullet" with a nice set of 350 inch antlers tied on the top. :)

TF

[george tinkham]

that would be nice even on a rental...but, but what if i decide to fly???

[Thunderflight]

You could always check the antlers and meat in as luggage.....

TF

[george tinkham]

OH I JUST HAVE EM STRAP IT ON TOP THE AIRPLANE

[Thunderflight]

I just sniped a bunch of 5.5 feathers on ebay. I think I'm going to try and make a couple of dozen arrows on the boat. I'm going to take my arrow build'n stuff with me....:)

TF

[george tinkham]

that would help quickin the time out there.i worked out with weights a lot,sorta like prisoners do to pass the time by quickly

[Thunderflight]

I have a routine.

I get up and go to the gym and lift wieghts.

Then I go to work, eat, surf the net, work, surf the net, eat work, surf the net.

I try to go to the gym again around the end of the flight schedule to do some light cardio.

Then I surf the net, watch movies, sleep, eat or what ever.

Right before we pull into port I plan BIG bucks bingo. Last cruise I won $1,000. It came at a good time too. The good lord must have been looking out for us.

Thunderflight

[george tinkham]

are yuh talkin bout when the anchor drops...i won 4 or 500$ on it for a 20$ chance...

[Thunderflight]

What are anchor drops?

The ship has a bingo game just before it pulls into port. The tickets cost $10 for five. As the cruise progresses the jackpot get's larger. Last cruise the final game jack pot was close to $10,000!!!!! What's even better is when you win in a tax free zone too...:)

The game is played through out the entire ship via the ships TV. If you get a bingo you call it in or run down to the TV studio.

TF

[hntnfsh]

I think George is talkin about an "anchor pool." You try to guess the exact time they announce "Moored. Shift colors." or "Anchored. Shift colors."

[Thunderflight]

Gotcha

I can't ever remember anything like that. Must be a Navy thing.

TF

[george tinkham]

yup thats it...anchor pool

[Thunderflight]

I just sniped two more dozen vanes....:)

Hey, if I was to pay for the shafts could someone stain and varnish them for me and then mail them to me on the boat? I was going to order all the stuff from 3rivers, but there is a HAZMAT issue with all the stuff on the boat. I'm going to use cresting wraps instead of dipping them.

Anyone know where you can get florescent orange cresting wraps?

Thunderflight

[COB]

Chuck, Mickey Hughes of Dekota Archery in Columbus has them and I think they were only $7 or $8 a dozen.

[george tinkham]

[Thunderflight]

COB,,,, Dude, what is with you? This is like the second or third thing you done that was really nice...:)

Thanks for the number I'll give him a call in the morning. I'll give him my boat address to ship them too. I was going to go to Bass Pro this weekend, but I may just wait now.

Thunderflight

[Thunderflight]

TF

[Thunderflight]

hntnfsh,,

TF

[george tinkham]

DAKOTA...HMMMMMMMM

[COB]

TF are you an old farm boy? Did you ever shell all the corn off a cob. The cob is ruff. But, there is always a but you know. Bust the cob in the into and what is in the center A very soft fluffy material. Well there you have it! A cob is a COB is a cob by any other name is still a COB! LOL

:D

[george tinkham]

oh i remember this is about shootin traditional...forgot there for a minute.give it a try is all i can say here

[Thunderflight]

I may have recruited another compound jedi to the dark side.

An old buddy from my California days checked into my unit last week. He walked into my office and saw my red deer skull with a couple dozen broken arrows sticking out of it. Turns out old C.J. is an avid bowhunter too.

Last night I had him over for dinner. Then I took him to the range and handed him my Bear 76'r. I took my grizzly and shot a few dozen times. This was his first time shooting a recurve and shooting instictive and he did REALLY good.

Well today he stopped me in the hall and told me he's thinking of buying a longbow.....

Soon my training will be complete and I too will become a "real elitest".....:)

TF

[george tinkham]
