First time I met him at hunting camp, he had just underwent shoulder surgery. He could only pull 45 lbs on his bow and couldn't climb a tree but wanted to kill a doe for his mom some meat. It was afternoon and I told him where I had a ground blind brushed in on the end of a field and if he would go there a doe would come out at 4:30. I had already killed a couple and told him to kill that one for his mom. When I got back to camp after dark he had her on his atv. He said I had her timed just right because she came out at almost exactly 4:30. He was my buddy from that day forward. He's a good down to Earth guy.


Man that's cool! One thing i miss the most about not shooting the tournaments is the folks I met along the way. But life got in the way, my boy's started baseball, football etc and that was more important to me. But the good news is My 13 year old is showing strong interest in bowhunting and 3D archery, and he wants me to pick it back up again...


Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!
