The Kid's Shoot. Everyone gets a trophy!
James with the focus. Shelby Leemans in the green. I think that's Lennie Rosenkran's Emily next to her admiring the form.

Tom Leemans is in the shades behind his Emily. Lennie's wife Shannon behind him and her daughter Amelia standing next to her.
And here's my Emily.
Everybody that kept at it until they hit the kill zone on the deer target got a trophy. Emily and James really liked theirs. They both fell asleep in Leemans' tent. We moved 'em over. Emily woke me up at 3:00 am wondering where hers was. It was the first question out of james' mouth when he woke up too. They rode the whole way home with them.
Did I say they liked them...they LOVED them. Thanks Marshall Bowhunters!
A cool map with tacks for everyone's hometown. We had Alaska and of course Alberta, Canada represented as well as a couple California boys and some east coasters too. Even some Texans, who unfortunately don't get along too well with Okies :)

The hatchet Bow contest. Mickey Lotz, Gary Davis, and JD Jones are the judges. Connie Westvang's superior osage bow won it but they were all great bows. Connie won a hawk and the 4 runners up got commemorative arrows made by Tim Flood, the MC for this year's contest. Connie gets to run it next year.
Finally, Chris (C-Biskit) Sunday morning, packing up.
