WNY Put Up or Shut Up 2010 part Duex

[DPKnives]

Well another year is in the books. We had a great turnout this year. The attendance was up to 15. We had Rescueriley and his co-worker Harry from NYC, Dan (dboles) Boles and his brother Matt both from Canada. Matt is from Fort Eire and Dan from BC. We had the lonegunman, johng, josh111, toooj, larry917, never too sharp myself his wife Beth and son Aiden (SP), my wife Mary and granddaughter MacKenzie.

Rescueriley brought a bunch of trap setups for us to see how well they work, Johng and riley made frog gigs, and johng was able to get a hold of one. Riley and I tried finding as well but were not as lucky. There were a ton of stories told, knives shared and looked at, my wife did a good portion of the cooking and did get some help from others. One of the catch phrases of the weekend was That venison is great, the other was thats a great knife.

The weather was almost perfect and the company was fantastic.

Thanks all that made it and made this a success for the second year in a row. We are looking at around the same time next year so come and join in next year.

Now sit back and enjoy the pictures.

Thanks guys it sure was a blast. I did not have the time to get some of the things prepped that I wanted to due to my moms situation and running back and forth to Rochester 4 or 5 times a week to see her, but I know one thing this weekend was very much needed for Mary and I and it was a great time with everyone that came. Thanks much everyone. Doug

Looks like a great spot and some good skills being practiced.

If all goes well I hope to attend the next one.

It really does look like a good time was had by all. If I win the lottery, I'll try to make it next year myself.

Well I hope you both win so you can make it next. We would love to have you there. Doug

Thanks, John. It occured to me after everyone was gone that nobody got to shoot it. It shoots really smooth, and the draw is light enough to not intimidate new archers. Next year I'll have at least one more, and I promise anyone can shoot them.

And John, my feet look about like your hands. I'm itchin' my ass off.
