As it got dark, Josh and I headed to the aerial novelty shoot.
They had a device that would throw a foam disk into the air and for a dollar, you got six chances to hit it. The fellow launching the disks sat behind a thick plastic wall.
Josh took to this right off. He was normally the first to get his arrow into the air while the others were still drawing.
He was hitting them very well.
Then it was time for Dad.
When we came back to camp, The "Campfire talk" was just beginning. We sat and listened to some the real greats of Traditional bowhunting take questions from the crowd. The panel was Roger Rothhaar, Dale Karch, Ken Beck, Marve Clyncke, Dave Doran, T.J. Conrads and G. Fred Asbell. It was a great time.
In the morning, we met up with G. Fred Asbell and Marv Clyncke. Josh did not know exactly who he was meeting.
Then it was time to pack up and head back to Wisconsin. We talked the whole way about making Josh his one recurve as a project. We bought some lamentations for the limbs from one of the vendors and that will be our winter project.
A new bowhunter was born that weekend and an old bowhunter felt like a kid again. We will be at Compton again.
