I was just wondering if there was any members on here that might be members and going to the banquets this weekend. I always enjoy meeting other members so I figured I would ask.
Cheers...
I might go if wifey has no plans or honey do list

I also ended up with what was by far the best buy of the auction. I bought that green 3 piece bow that sold in the first few item on Friday. It was a hell of a event!!!! Had a great time and made some friends.
What booth were you? I talked to pretty much everyone there that had one.

Here is my Rebel longbow by South Cox of Stalker bows.
Handle grey actionwood
Limbs stained curly maple
Asiatic buffalo horn tips
47# @ 28" I will shoot this bow at around 29" so it should hit right around 50lbs.

I really wish I could have remembered to have them signed a couple of arrow shafts to put into a collection.
A lot of great bow makers as well.
Here is a few of the first pictures.
Friday dinner hall.
A blacktail bow that was amazing! One of the nicest bows I have ever had in my hands! I threw some good money at it but could not add it to the collection :'(
Some really cool wood art. The big pic is of fred and some of his animals. I want one of these!!!! I hope to do one with all my animals from 2011 that made books.
Some displays.

Dang! Wish I would have know you were going to be there! Had a blast. Won a few small things. I was at the loud table in the back both nights that the auctioneer kept yelling at :chuckle: Plus we bought about 80% of the stuff on Friday night and about 30% of the stuff Saturday night :chuckle: Boy those guys were a hoot! I ended up with 2 bows. I bought one from south cox from stalker bows, a long bow I had a eye on for awhile now! He had not sold any bows I made him a offer and he could not turn it down. He was buying a ton of that nice wood there to build bows with. He took off running for the silent auction to bid more on the big chunk of mertle wood after I bought my bow. He had more cash to spend :chuckle:

What booth were you? I talked to pretty much everyone there that had one.
We spoke to one another now and then, Matt. I'm Dale, from Renton, WA. When someone jokingly asked, "What the heck is there at Goldendale?", I am the guy who spouted out, "Mulies and blacktails." And you then replied "Yeah!", and said that most of the deer around there were mixed breed. Someone also asked how to hunt north of that town without wandering onto the reservation and you told of some of the ridge roads meandering back and forth across the boundary and those spots being tricky to keep track of where you are exactly. Remember?
That was the first time we spoke and then we kept crossing paths the whole weekend because I had volunteered to help the PBS so at times they had me running every which way. Of course neither of us had a clue that this site was a commonality.
Heck of a good weekend...classy bunch of bowhunters, them PBS'ers.

I would have felt bad buying that blacktail. It was so flashy I don't know if I could have ever hunted with it :chuckle: I still took it up to 850.00 :chuckle: No chance at it, It sold for 1300 or 1350 :'( I think I ended up bidding on 5 of the bows and only got one of them.
I have nothing but good things to say about the group.
