General Topic
Contributors to this thread:
For those of you going to the PY Convention in Reno, we are having our Bowsite Meet and Greet on Friday afternoon from 3-5PM. Hope to see some of you again.
Thanks Pat! Looking forward to it!
Crap...flying home Saturday afternoon. (no choice...have to be home Sunday.)
I’ll be there Pat, if you are lucky Lenny will give you the coveted seat next to me at dinner too!
—Jim
Correction: Friday 3-5, not Saturday.
Wish I could attend. Just spent $1500 on the front end steering for the 08 Tacoma. Some one said, " Oh, those Tacoma's' last for a life time!". Yea, who's life time?. Yea, 5 cents at at time. Have fun guys.
I paid Lenny extra, NOT to sit next to Jim!!
Looking forward to seeing some old friends as well as putting some new faces with names!
will be my first time making one after 23 years of membership. I was booked in for the Virgina one that got cancelled from Covid ,going to be a long ride from VT.
Great Pat, looking forward to it.
Lol @ t-Roy
Looking forward to it.
You guys in the secret IPhone chat cult get all the fancy seats. Android users will be in the back corner, cheap seats out of sight.
Can always come to the good side, Gene.. ;)
Y’all have fun. I’m gonna miss this one. Maybe next time
I’ll see you all in 2025…I’m going hunting this year…
What are you hunting, Cory?
May try to make it as well.
Oh boy…. Heard we are shaving Treeman’s hair to raise money. I’m praying it wasn’t just a rumor.
Ooo, I'll pony up some cash for that...
Had to choose between the convention and bowhunting. Wish I could do both. Have fun fellas!
I’ll be there. Always a great time.
After spending a great week with BOHNTR in Mexico he had me super pumped to go. Unfortunately I can't make it this year but I will certainly try to make it happen next time. T-roy can have beer for me!
Jeff:
We’ll sit in a ‘missing Jeff formation’! :)
I will be there as well. Looking forward to it.
Thanks Roy!! Just don't talk bad about me in front of Kurt, I'm hoping there is a chance he and I will meet each other this summer....
Jeff, sounds like a lot of fun with some adrenaline thrown in.....
Pat… Just for your consideration… The Fred Bear Society reception falls into that time frame….. 4:30-6 pm
Shug: So you’ll miss the last 30 minutes of the Meet & Greet or you can show up at at your Blue Coat affair 30 minutes late. Play it by ear and make it a last second decision.
Shug, it was PY who provided me with the time slot, not my call.
Shug:
I’m making a quick appearance at FBS, without my 60’s polyester sport coat, and then heading over to BS! Improvise, adapt, overcome! :)
Wouldn't miss it!! Unlike Cory or a guy named Mark...
Looks like I’ll have to leave a little early as well, but will get to spend at least a couple of hours with the crew.
Sweet! Will have to duck out early for the FBS event, but that should be plenty of time to shave Treeman's head.
Ok I guess I can find a way to squeeze in a bit of time with the common folk… see ya there
Looking forward to meeting some of you there.
Not a member, but I could probly grab some a la carte tickets, and drop in ?
3 1/2 hours from my place, I've been wanting to meet a lot of you guys for a long time now!
Jeff, I’ll buy your first year of membership if you show up to the convention.
Damn Zack...hard to pass up that deal !
Just FYI, I'm a waste of P&Y, I mostly kill barely legals, flatheads, etc. :^D
I'll see you guys at the meet and greet !
I can’t make it, but my money can if Treeman’s getting his head shaved for a charitable cause!
Mark
Pat/Charlie,
Great to hear you guys will be there this year. We missed you guys in Reno 2 years ago!
Look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting a lot of new ones!
I volunteer as tribute for a head shave as well :)
I think there’s a minimum requirement for consideration, Trevor ;-)
"Just FYI, I'm a waste of P&Y, I mostly kill barely legals, flatheads, etc. :^D- EMG"
Jeff, I have a good memory of a certain elk that was WELL OVER the P&Y minimum that you center punched in 2016 :)
Well Kenny, even a blind squirrel gets a nut, every now and then!
"Just FYI, I'm a waste of P&Y, I mostly kill barely legals, flatheads, etc. :^D"
Jeff, I've been a member for around 10 years, so, so much for that logic...
Ill be thinking about you guys from New Zealand. Have a great time. Shave some heads!!!
Website isn’t loading for me….what’s a yearly membership for P&Y ?
Im in , looking forward to It!!
You do realize this is a direct conflict to the Brewery Tour.....
And are we talkin' just a buzz cut or Barbasol and razor?
Starting to get a serious case of FOMO. :-(
Had to look it up... I've been doing liver workouts preparing for this. Ed F
MA-PA, you don't need to be a member to attend the convention and most events. However, I believe a membership is $45.
If you’ve been there….you know!
If you’ve been there….you know!
I’m just hoping my room is on the opposite side of the hotel, this year! A guy’s gotta get SOME sleep!
I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you there. Sadly, I'm seldom able to enjoy more than a few minutes of these gatherings. I'm hoping for at least 30 minutes this time.
It will be a great time. Make it if you can.
I bet it will be a blast!!
I'm looking forward to it.............
I need to start stepping up my liver work outs. Getting close
Got in yesterday, already met some great folks.
Enjoy yourselves this week gentlemen! I wish I could be in Reno but family and home duties are keeping me away this year. I will NOT miss the next one!
You guys post up some pics for the guys that can't make it. Just don't post a pic of Nedly in a bra. :)
What Embry said ... Be good boys. Zack watch your liver. Shug make sure that you fully clothed when you use the elevator :>)
Going to be a great week!
Hopefully, you guys will have had just enough "hair of the dog", when I get there on Friday PM. Looking forward to a healthy dose of banter/ bulls**t / etc. :^D
my cup size has increased since the last one. man boobs
You’d better not be drinking Bud Light!:)
Have fun all
Wake up and post some pics for us losers that couldn’t make it! Enjoy fellows.
Ned……I heard Kuiu is coming out with a new merino wool manzier this spring.
Oh! I think I saw that on Seinfeld......
They must have consulted with Sid Farkas t-roy! ;-)
Somebody said Vandelay Industries had booth here, too, but I haven’t seen it yet…
No Treeman selfies yet? :)
Looks like I’m glad I passed on this one
Thanks to Pat for the beer. Was a good time as usual.
P&Y display is fabulous with all the new world records and most heads ever!
Thanks to Pat for another great Bowsite Meet & Greet!
Appreciate the beer...even though there was a bit of a scare when they rolled in the keg with a Bud Light bucket on top. Fortunately, the keg was not Bud Light!
I was not in attendance this year, but I always appreciate Pat's kindness to the Bowsite folks. Hope every one enjoys the convention. Safe travels home.
Looked like a great time. Awesome that Pat sponsored it
Thank you, Pat. Great time as always.
Thanks Pat. Table #17... winners. Ed F
Thank’s Pat. Always a great time.
Thank you Pat. Always a great event!
Had a good time, thanks to ot for sponsoring some of it. I kept The mullet of death, and even helped Shug grow s some of his back too!
—jim
Great seeing old friends and great meeting many of you in the real world for the first time. Thanks for sponsoring, Pat!!
Looks like another epic time was had by the Bowsite Team!
Mark
I really enjoyed meeting you and many of the others in person, Pat, much appreciated !
Looks like I missed a heck of a bash! See y'all next time
Damn Mark! You have more hair than ME now!
Found this renegade wandering in an ABA hat!
Thanks, Pat!
What an awesome convention! Great getting to see so many old friends and meet some new ones! Best bunch of people in the world!
Thanks Pat. It was fun as always.
Looks like it was a great time! I’m going to have to make my way to the convention one of these years.
Phoenix 2025 Scott, drag yourself on down there! ;)

Got to spend some time with Marv, a living legend in bow hunting that I’ve known all my life and is a very close friend. We got this picture taken together, then no more than 45 minutes later I was able to see him and Judy inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Also got to meet a bunch of awesome bow hunters that I’ve heard about all my life. Awesome first P&Y convention!
Wow, looks like a great time, maybe one year I'll get to experience it.
Was a great time indeed. Looking forward to the next one
Thanks Nick! Congrats to Scott and Tavis (Treeline) on their inductions as well...and sorry if I missed any other inductees who might be here on Bowsite.
Was a great weekend catching up with some great friends and getting to make some new ones. Can't wait for Phoenix 2025!
Got to finally meet and visit face to face, with a couple of these guys. (I had already met Dennis before)
This sign was right next to Zack’s room. Coincidence?….I think not.
“Whaddya mean I didn’t win anything in the raffles???”
Pretty sure this is Zack texting Kota-man to wire some more funds, cuz they just ran out of Bud Lite….
Great time ! Got to visit with guys who I only knew from here. Troy , Dennis, Trevor Embry. I wasn’t disappointed. Hopefully my kid can fit in with the Alaska guys, Trevor and Zach. Thanks again Pat for the place. Weak point of the whole weekend was Charlie not being there.
I was there in spirit and will for sure be at the next one.
Looks like a great time. Thanks for sharing the pics!
Yeah, sure missed seeing you Charlie!!!
Definitely missed you, Charlie! Hope to bump into you before the next one.
Welcome the newest member of P&Y Jeff Ervin. Congrats Jeff!
