What you'll find inside.....
- Bowhunting historyBack in the early 1960s, I watched Fred Bear on the "The American Sportsman" show, hunting Grizzly Bear with his recurve bow. That was it I knew that I had witnessed the ultimate hunting challenge, and have been an avid archer and bowhunter ever since.
Like most archers of that time, when the compound bow came on the market, I hung up my recurve for a compound. I spent most weekdays shooting 100's of practice arrows and weekends deer hunting and shooting 3d tournaments.
Archery for me changed during the 1980s. After reading the Howard Hill book "Hunting the Hard Way", I bought my first longbow - an 80# straight limb Martin. It wasn't long before I harvested my first buck & gobbler with a longbow. Traditional archery became an obsession.
Archery has come full circle for me. I now enjoy hunting with a modern compound bow, which I used to harvest the Columbia County, Georgia #1 P&Y record book buck.
