Vendors include Archery Past, Traditional Bowhunter Magazine (full staff will be there), Eclipse broadheads, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Don Thomas Books, and more. There will be a shooting area, seminars, social and dinner with speaker Norm Johnson. This event is a very welcome effort to replace the old TradBow West Expo that died a few years ago. I’ll be there and hope you can make it too. For more info and to reguster go to http://www.idahotraditionalbowhunters.com dave p

I miss Trad Expo West too. Thanks for posting.

Where does the Trad expo west happen at and when? Being new to this stuff, I went to the International Sportsmans Expo here in Denver, and was disapointed with the lack of traditional Archery exibits.

Never mind. I guess if I read a little deeper, I would have gotten my awnser.

I am looking forward to this more than I can say. I really miss the old Trad West Expo, and I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who can make these events to go. Especially if you haven’t been to a traditional expo/redezvous/ get-together before.

Our (the Idaho Traditional Bowhunter’s, of which I am not on the board, but I am a member and I look forward to being more active once school is done) goal is to grow this into something similar to the old T.W.E.

And Dave, old friend, I am absolutely pumped that you are coming, can’t wait to catch up!

Great to hear of this event, I look forward to seeing many of you again and meeting others who I have only written to. I hope any “Shrew” owners will bring along their bows so that I may be able to try one since I won’t be making it out to any of the big shows back east:) Have a safe trip!

I’m looking forward to being there. I too miss the old Western Expo. I don’t mean to start any more rifts in the archery community (we’ve got enough of those already!) but life is different in the West. I’m not ashamed to admit that I like to talk about something other than climbing up into a tree and waiting for a whitetail to walk by. Bowhunting ought to make your legs hurt at the end of the day. See you all there! Cheers, Don

That’s my kind of hunting Don, looking forward to talking with you!

The Expo West was one of my favorite events, met a lot of good folks there.
TBofMT banquet is the weekend before so not sure I will make it this time.

Man! I’m so jealous!!! I hope it is a big success!!! With many more annual events to come. Should be…. what a show!

should be a lot different than the old big tent. Glad it stayed or is back in Idaho. Should be fun

Dave,
I didn’t know you had a Shrew:wink: So, as Jim Carey said in Dumb and Dumber, “you’re saying there’s a chance” that I could shoot your bow?
Look forward to visiting with you all.

Dave – like SteveMcd, I will be stuck in the Hudson Valley,NY. Wish you guys all the best out there.
Don – Some of us out east do have aching legs after a day of bowhunting too…usually from climbing in and out of tree stands..beat you to it.

Looks like I’ll be able to make it down. Lookin forward to it.

Sounds like a great time, wish I could make it. Got my vacation time and money tied up in a south Texas javelina/hog hunt the following weekend. Keep us posted on the get together and maybe I can make the next one.
