    Okay ladies and gentlemen - this is the official polling place of the date for the 2009 Bowhunting.com GTG. As usual, the event will be held at Coon Creek Hunt Club in Garden Prairie, IL. The official happenings will be on Saturday, with unofficial pre-game events on Friday night and of course recovery/drive home on Sunday.

    Make your voices heard and we'll try to solidify a date in the next week or so. Todd and I want to make this the biggest and best event yet so we want to get planning early.

    Thanks everyone!

    Everyone who wants to come is invited, regardless of where they post or where they're from. So if someone wants to take the initiative to make people more aware that we're having an event please feel free to do so. :tu:

    Sure you can Christine! We were all saying it would be cool to have a moving 3D target this year! How fast can you run and duck?

    Either weekend works for me. I am trying my best to juggle my schedule so I could make it up there, for at least 1 day. There are a bunch of guys on here I would love to meet and share a beer with.:beer: Also, I have to see these Bow Tech guys up close and see what all the fuss is about!:confused:

    No you don't have to believe the hype, just the results. If memory serves me correct, "sausage fingers Crik" took both the target & 3-d shoot w/a, "what was that?", that's right a BOWTECH!:hail: :hail:

    I guess if that is all I have to wear, I may have to show up wearing it just so they will give me something else to put on instead!!
