Has anyone seen the current TBM with my buddy Marvin Breeden? 80 years old, still shooting his longbow, hunting, and even using a climbing stand! It's a good read.

I was so happy to see a write up on such a wonderful fellow. Finding out that he is a Virginian is icing on the cake!

I got to spend a day with Marvin Stringstretcher and Gordon at Marvin's home. Let me tell you I was and still am truly humbled by the experience!!!! Made me feel right at home and oh the archery knowledge is was surrounded by was quite inspirational. It was quite an honor and I hope to get to do it again someday.

Very nice article on Marvin. I'm with Ben in that it's nice to read about such a fine gentleman and not so much techno stuff.
Well written and told, Brad.

I enjoyed it, also. I read it while taking a break at the North American Longbow Safari. There were laminated and self bows represented there and the article dovetailed nicely.

I met a fellow at the NALS who had one of Marvin's bows and a pope style quiver that Marvin made as mentioned in the article....neat stuff and a good read proving that what is not broken does not need to be fixed

Marvin Breeden? I think I know him???? Going over to his place this weekend and help a couple of young fellows make some self bows, cane arrows, and such. Should be a good weekend. If you are home Brad, stop by.
