I forgot to mention that there will be a shoot-fee price break of about 25% for pre-registrations postmarked by April 28!

For anyone who hasn't sent their registration form yet:

The price break deadline of April 28 is fast approaching.

The souvenir shirts will be ordered May 3. So after the price-break date we won't be able to add shirts to the order.

But even if you miss that date, we'd still love to have folks pre-register because it'll save time/work on the weekend of the event. The last date that registrations can be mailed and be assured of still finding someone on the receiving end is May 14; that will allow plenty of time to get through the post office and to process them before we leave to set up the event.

Thanks

I'm registered and will be there.

Can a person show up,and wonder through and check out products..

[Ray]

You'll have to ask Snapshot. This should be a huge event for stick bow shooters. It won't be here next year as the event rotates to different states. I'm guessing there will be a LOT of people. I heard that the local shoot drew nearly 300 last week. I can imagine many more if people are coming in from out of state for this one. If you want to go I can bring you a bow and some arrows for shooting...

[rasbo]

thanks Ray I really want to check out the self bows in action..Im seriously thinking about selling a rifle and getting into it ..

If you all try to print the whole Event Flyer it will come out too small. So...

To print out only the form that is needed, after clicking on the link to the form (and grabbing a cup of coffee because the file is large) zoom to 100%; from the browser 'Tools' menu select 'Full Screen'; then scroll all the way down and to the right egde; click on the print icon; in the print dialog box where it says 'Print Range' select 'Current View'; and then click 'OK'. It should print out large enough to read.

If you can't get it to work for you send me an email and I can email the form to you. dl_sharp@comcast.net

Non-shooting guests are welcome, yes. Stop by and see what goes on. To be a shooter then folks must to register; and if time runs out on you, it can be done at the event. It is just nice to get as much work done ahead of time as possible because we'll be like headless-chickens starting about Friday afternoon.

When we last hosted the event in '06 we had nearly 400 registered shooters; the number of non-shooting guests wasn't tallied but estimates put the total attendance at around 700.

Ray, I'm lovin' that you have this bold and at the top. Thank you very much. I owe you a
