thanks for putting this on rasbo, it was a blast.
i did not think that we would be there for 11 hours though 

[Hunterman]

Another great time  A great group of people, TOO much good food ( I back put on the 6 pounds I lost earlier  ) Russ I would be careful about leaving your wife alone,,those cup cake were killer    , Cory,, what can I say about that cobbler  The bow shooting was proof that we have some damn good shots on this site  Nice shooting guys.. The talk around the campfire was a blast. Between the "Berry Juice" and the "Apple Pie" (sorry it was so hard to get Lady Nutcracker(Becky) to share  Sorry guys,,next year she'll know better  ) the stories were getting better and better,,even though nothing and I mean nothing Becky said about me was true ( except how much of a great person I am ).. By the way,, did someone ever get that arrow out of Quick Draws ear

yahh it was a good time! i think me and the apple pie didnt get along, as i didnt drink much of it but i sure had a headache this morning. it was really cool of the guy "sorry i cant remember his name" that brought all the traditional bows for everyone to shoot and loose his arrows. everyone had a great time shooting them especially the women. it was a honor and a pleasure to meet everyone, and will be looking forward to the next year one!

Great time it was good to see the old and meet some new
Huge thanks to Rasbo and wife spectacular hospitality
I do think that may have been rasbos first shot

[kenzmad]

Me and the girls had a friggin blast. Thanks so much Rasbo and Gladys for putting this on. It was great to meet up with all of you. Some of you i knew, some I didn't. Fillthefreezer, sorry I couldn't hang later but I realize that i cant play with the young ones anymore. I had to tap out at 3:30am. Makes me feel old though when Woodman outlasts me. Flinger, hows the battle wound? Again, Jim and Gladys, thank you. Oh, I didn't see any funnel anywhere near Rasbo

Ray The first owner of the site brought many trad bows for folks to shoot,and his cute Lil daughter,she and my grandaughters tore the place up having a blast.Hunterman and Becky brought some homemade berry spirits that was great around the pit.. a bottle of apple pie auctioned off for 40.00 bucks,kenzmad took that.after a little prodding he brought that to the pit.Bad juju,he should have read the instructions,once the cap comes off it wont fit back on till its empty.That's a proven medical fact,and proven true..Woodman felt it was necessary to share a pull with his right hand and left hand,Hic up...good times forsure.

[ksblazer]

Thanks again for the invite and look forward to the next event.

The food was great and it was nice to put a face to the members handle on this forum. Had fun shooting the bow and tossing horseshoes. I'll have to bring my tent next time. So I can hang out for the nightime campfire.

[woodman]

I have to agree with everything that has been said here. Jim, you and Gladys are a class act and a real benefit to this hunting site. You two give your all to make a success out of this, and that it was. It was truly a pleasure to see everyone and I look forward to next year.

That's IT!  I'm taking leave next time so they can't screw with me at the last second!
