Wondering if anyone goes or has gone in the last few years? If you've gone to it, how is it now? I have not been to it in years, I'm usually out west elk hunting. But as of right now I don't think I will be out west. Ed

I'm usually getting ready for the 5C hunt that weekend, so no. One of these years I would like to go just to see what it's all about.

Nut, your the UBP social director. :) Setup the work week the weekend before. It's the biggest bowhunting thing in Pa, aside from the 5c hunt. :) That way all the rest of the guys that setup the for the 5c can go to this. Do it the week before and I'll come help with the 5c work day. The thing now is I'm kinda making plans with a couple of other guys to go to the festival. Worlds End state park is just down the road to camp at. Going to try and book a camping spot this week.

We usually go on Friday, it's not as crowded as the weekend. It's a good time,not as many vendors as the old days but worth attending. Also it's not far from where I live.

Love it up there. Missed one or two years(both the years my daughters were born less than a month before?)..anymore, the no cell service and the rustic cabins at worlds end are the big draw...camp fires, mountain air, the sound of the creek, its needed. The bow festival is fun, but its much like anything else....seem to pay more and there are less targets... Having said that, they did have some different novelty target stuff the last year they had it.

It's worth the trip just for the chicken barbeque on Saturday and the beautiful scenery.

Well Nut, I guess I can forgive you for that reason.
Who else is staying at Worlds-End Camp Ground??? I hope to be pulling into the camp ground Friday evening around 7:30 ish. I'll be in site 057. Staying Saturday evening and heading home Sunday morning. All invited to stop by. Ed

Anybody know if there are any gun ranges near forksville? Thought about taking my daughter to shoot the rifle a little bit. I see there is one on gamelands 206 in luzerne county about 40 minutes away. Didnt know if anybody knew of any closer?

Seemed very high amount of ppl for a friday morning. Very sloppy from the heavy rain wednesday. A lot of empty vendor booths and the one vendor i really wanted to see, elk ridge wasnt here this morning. Need to get my 11 yr old daughter into a bigger recurve, she has outgrown hers and she is struggling in form because of it. But not many options here for decent kids recurves…
