I meant to post this here and posted in the elk forum on accident. A lot more relevent on this page

Just signed up for Elk College at XXX Archery in Rainer. This is going to be an excellent class put on by Rockie Jacobsen of Bugling Bull game calls and Jim Horn. They have a list if anyone is interested in the class call the shop and get in on it. It is an all day class and the shop is going to provide lunch. I think the cost is $125 and is money well spent for a good calling class.

I also had XXX build new strings and cables for my Guardian and they are awesome. This was the first time I have been up to this shop but I will definately be going back for other equipment and service on my bow.

When is the class?

archery288 · « **Reply #2 on:** April 24, 2009, 09:21:57 PM »

Here is the flyer we are putting out for the class... It'll be a good time! We have some nice new calls coming out this year - they look great, and sound even better!

Question on your Guardian - why didn't you get some Winners Choice Strings, and why do you have your quiver mounted that far forward out over your sight? I would think that would throw off the balance of the bow pretty good... Just a thought..

I still don't see a date?

There are more than one... I will get you some dates...

BLKBEARKLR · « **Reply #6 on:** April 24, 2009, 09:45:22 PM »

yes lets see some dates, and they are going to assist us with the elk calling? I have been to Rockies seminar before it was very informative but you did not get to practice with him helping and assisting, so is he going to be doing it with this college one??

Thanks
Joe

I had a set of Winners Choice on it and decided to try the Strings from XXX. Have heard great things about them so wanted to give them a try. So far I like what I have seen, haven't shot it a lot since I just got them today. Have shot about 20 shots and it is pretty much right on where it was with the old strings.

As far as the mounting of the quiver, I know there was a reason for it being that far forward at the time but I can't remember what it was. It does balance fine though.

Yes, they are just east of the Bridge. Real easy to find.

rosscrazyelk · « **Reply #12 on:** April 27, 2009, 06:13:44 PM »

Maybe I am wrong but does not Jim Horn work for primos? Why would he work with Rocky?

Little Fish · « **Reply #13 on:** April 28, 2009, 08:37:42 AM »

Great. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure Jim Horn has is own stuff going on in addition to working with Primos. Check out his calling CDs...good stuff.

archery288 · « **Reply #14 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:00:23 AM »

Jim Horn is no longer with Primos... Been about a year or so.. He is now part of the Bugling Bull team with Rockie..

Slider · « **Reply #15 on:** April 28, 2009, 09:37:54 AM »

Jon do you know if this is the only one they are doing in WA. this year? Thanks

Little Fish · « **Reply #16 on:** April 28, 2009, 01:36:41 PM »

Good question Slider. It would be in nice if they did one of these farther north so I didn't have to drive 3 hours to attend.

Edit: Just got an email from Rockie Jacobsen (see below). I called Wilderness Archery in Bow, WA to let them know I was interested. They mentioned something about having 50 people who are interested in attending before class is confirmed so if you are interested call and let them know.

Where are you located? XXX Archery in Rainer, Or. will be July 18th, Ranch & Home in Kennewick, Wa is July 11th, Wilderness Archery in Bow, Wa is July 12th. Let the dealer know if you are interested. We are also doing them in Canada in August.
Thank you.

I'll see you at Wilderness on July 12th! Looking forward to it, me and 4 of my friends have already signed up with Roger!

bullcanyon · « **Reply #18 on:** April 29, 2009, 05:05:10 AM »

I'm pretty sure I was told we can thank Rocky and his team for the great design of the palet plate on the primos diagphram calls. That was one of the greatest inventions in elk calls. In my opinion.

WonkyWapiti · « **Reply #19 on:** April 29, 2009, 07:21:28 PM »

I'm gonna have to call Wilderness Archery tomorrow and sign up!

Great time and thanks to XXX for hosting and lunch. Rockie and Jim are a wealth of of information that I could listen to a quite a few times and still get new info. Also thanks Cory for the info on Roosevelts now to apply at least part of the stuff learned today.Thanks again

matlockmike · « **Reply #42 on:** July 20, 2009, 12:15:41 PM »

The best calling class that I have been to, 8 hours didn't seem like enough. I bought some of Rocky's cds and DVDs that will help me retain all the knowledge I learned. You couldn't pay enough for the one-on-one mouth reed training that we got. rocky has these Elk figured out.

The guys at XXX archery were also great. Thanks for hosting it and keep us up to date on all the event you put on.

Thanks Mike
