Re: Boofest 2017 anyone?
As I too have never heard of Boofest do have a couple of questions. Not to be a prude but as a recovered alcoholic (28 years clean) don't mind drinking but have a very hard time with "drunks" sorry about that, its how I cope. Is there a cost, does one stay in Toronto or are there also other places closer? Any information would be grateful.

There are many there that do not drink any alcohol. It is a family weekend with kids present. There is alcohol and some drinking, especially around the firepit (weather permitting) but Don has always asked (and people comply) not to over drink.
Many members stay at local hotels, Oshawa, Clarington, Port Hope and some will even camp out in a field at Don's.
The only costs will be your food, beverages, how are where you sleep. There is also, normally draws for prizes (tickets cost small amount) and proceeds go to someone in need.
It is a great weekend with people that love archery with a wealth of knowledge, that are willing to share what they know.

I asked the exact same question of forum member Normous when I was a newbie as working my way through college as a doorman left my tolerance for drunks at zero. As I have learned, and Tom has stated, this is very much a family affair. Truly a great time with like minded sport shooters and hunters. You'll love it!mreyner wrote:As I too have never heard of Boofest do have a couple of questions.

There is absolutely zero tolerance to any overt drinking. I will not stand for it and if I or many others see it, it will be dealt with swiftly, harshly and without the tiniest regret. This has to be an enjoyable weekend for everyone and no one likes a drunk.

There are however a handful of folks that act as though they are " well oiled" even though they are stone cold sober! I won't mention any names. In all seriousness it is a great weekend for you and family. Great folks, great fun! Can't wait!paulaboutform wrote:I asked the exact same question of forum member Normous when I was a newbie as working my way through college as a doorman left my tolerance for drunks at zero.
