Re: Boofest 2014
How about buying some land in Texas and having a Boofest south? It is just a bit far for some of us to get up there, although I would sure enjoy the chance to meet some of you folks and see some of that country. Sounds like a great time and I sure wouldn't change something that isn't broke.

Re: Boofest 2014
Don and Karin you have to be commended on how this year's Boofest unfolded. Both Anne and I enjoyed ourselves and thank you for your gracious hospitality.
As far as complaints, considering all the time and effort needed to pull off such an event, one single solitary complaint doesn't amount to a hill of beans. As for the one complaining, if they think they can do better, let them try.
It's easy to complain, however making suggestions takes more thought and effort. From my perspective, Boofest has grown and improved with each passing year. For instance, the expansion of the 3D course, the increased number of raffle prizes and the additional and placement of the toilets are just a few examples.
Is there room for improvement, of course. I for one would like to see "ALL" guests pickup after themselves. There is no excuse for leaving cans and bottles strewn on the grass. Also, I don't think it would be too much to ask owners to "stoop'n scoop" after their own pets, instead of leaving the job solely to you Don.
Another suggestion, which I think would be helpful, is to provide a bin/oil drum where the paper towels from the toilets could be disposed, instead of them being dumped in and filling up the toilets.
If I can think of any other suggestion, I'll let you know.

Re: Boofest 2014
Unfortunately I was unable to attend as, I had just returned from Texas and to top it off had to admit the wife into the hospital for a blood clot in her heart, ... BUT I sincerely wish to attend one day.
Now as to the complaints ... You Have Got To Be Kidding Me! I kind soul offers up his time, money, land, and etc on top of etc to throw a get together / party and someone has the audacity to complain about not having prizes for a 3d shoot and the need for a committee to run things! I think not! Not sure how it's done in your neck of the woods, but here in Ga (yeah way south) we respect our hosts and are extremely grateful for whatever they do or provide for us. Geesh, it was not a company run shindig, it was a friend to all inviting you up to have some fun.
I may be way out of place here, and if I am excuse me .. as we in the south (well for the most part) tend to take offense at disrespect and complaining over something that was offered in kindness.
Boo, brother I understand it brings up questions if there is more that can be done or improved, but please pay no heed to such complaints. You and only You (well and your kind wife ) should be in charge of what happens on your property and at Your Party! If I ever do get to come you can bet I will not be complaining about anything you have setup.
Sorry, for the rant on something I did not even get to attend, but it just sort of chaps my rear to here something like that, especially after all the time, money and effort that you put out to host such a gathering, not to mention what you do for this community.
BTW, if you wish me to remove this I will, but none the less it is how I feel.
Peace to all.

Re: Boofest 2014
Without question, I took zero offense. It takes a whole bunch more to peeve me Vic. Maybe a lack of respect but I'm still a learning too. Still, something good comes of the comments.XcaliburFX wrote:Unfortunately I was unable to attend as, I had just returned from Texas and to top it off had to admit the wife into the hospital for a blood clot in her heart, ...

Re: Boofest 2014
I'd love to come one day and I am sure the wife would, but be forewarned she can talk a stump in to taken up it's dead roots and moving. Aw, but she is indeed a sweetheart.

Re: Boofest 2014
Don, Boofest keeps getting better every year. I enjoy shooting my crossbow and I thought the 3D course was awesome. I love the fact that it was a non scoring event. It was a great opportunity to socialize and shoot with people we only may see once our twice a year. The experiences were "prize" enough. The distance shoot offered a good opportunity for a little friendly competition and I love the fact it was unknown distances this year.
Can't think of much I'd like to see changed. I like your idea of someone to help coordinate rides for those who have to travel from afar. There seems to be a great interest from a number of people who would love to attend but distance is an obstacle for them. Wish I had a million bucks to buy them all plane tickets.
BTW, the glow sticks on the outhouse doors were a brilliant idea.

Re: Boofest 2014
It being my first year at Boofest I have nothing bad to say about it. I absolutely enjoyed myself. I really liked the fact that is was just a fun shoot. The group that I shot with was such a fun group and we had a blast out there joking around. No one even laughed when I lost an arrow. If you want to be serious about scoring high then I say go to a 3D shoot at your local clubs. As for Don and Karin you guys are amazing and made everyone so welcome. Keep up the good work. Munch and I would be so willing to do the fish fry on the Friday night next year. That is if he will let me tag along again.
Re: Boofest 2014
My only complaint would be that I wasn't able to attend. Lord willing,and if the creek don't rise, I'll be there next year. I'll be the Redneck in the robe.
