This is so Robin Hood, and I’m totally intrigued. I didn’t even know they had any archery festivals in town, and archery is one of those things that I’ve always wanted to try but never have. The bow and arrow — it gives me visions of Native Americans hunting buffalo, but I’ve heard bow and arrow technology has come a long way since then.

This is supposed to be the Super Bowl of Archery, so if you’re going to go to an archery event, this is the one.

Activities include live music, a red-neck parade (if anyone knows what that is please fill me in), a wild cook off, a battle of the bands, seminars, demonstrations and much, much more.

Performers throughout the weekend include a personal favorite LC Rocks (some of the best 80′s in Austin), Asleep at the Wheel, Steve Wariner, Travis Tucker and many more.

For those looking for some fun this weekend, the festival goes through goes through Sunday. They’ll have fun for the entire family, so even if you are not an archery fanatic you can probably make a good afternoon out of some live music and cook-off food.

Famous Austinite and football great Earl Campbell will be making an appearance on Saturday at his tailgate party. Don’t miss the opportunity to get some photos with an NFL Hall of Famer.

So everyone with a Robin Hood Fantasy out there, this is your chance to live out a childhood dream and have a little fun Austin, Texas style.
