Title: America's Best Longbow Shooter with Wood Arrows
Post by: zonker on August 27, 2010, 08:25:00 AM
Congratulations to Dave Wallace of Marietta, OH. He proved again he currently is the best longbow shooter in America with wood arrows. At the 2010 I.B.O. World Championship in Ellicottsville, NY he won his fifth championship in the LB class. He also won the LB class in the 2010 I.B.O. National Triple Crown Championship as well as winning the LB 2010 I.B.O. Archer of the Year.

Dave is also an excellent bow hunter taking moose, elk, antelope, mule deer and many whitetail deer. One of his whitetails scored 178" P & Y.

Dave shoots a longbow of his own manufacture, Wallace Mountain longbows, and Elite wood arrows.

Congrats AGAIN Dave!! I have had the pleasure of shooting with Dave a few times in the late 90's. He is a great shooter for sure, and makes one of the nicest Hill style longbows you will ever lay your eyes on.

Thank you, Biggie. And I would add... "on that particular day".

Congrats to Dave.

Heck biggie, I thought you were asking instead of stating.  I was going post "I don't know who is the best longbow shooter with wood arrows but I do know it ain't me"   :biglaugh:

I have had the pleasure to shoot with Dave at a local club that we both belong to. Not only is he an excellent shot with his longbow, but he is as nice of a fella that you would ever want to meet.

He shoots his own bows......with his own shooting style that is a real pleasure to watch.

Congratulations Dave !!!!!!!!!!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer fella.

curious to know how he shoots? Is he a split or 3under shooter, and is he a gapper or on instictive shooter?

Ditto what Biggie said  :D . I'm sure he's an outstanding shooter.  He would have to be.  But, all the longbow wood arrow shooters in America were not there  ;)  ...Van

Dave shoots 3 under with a "Hill" style longbow of his own make.  Believe that he shoots a straight grip, B 50 string.  Not sure on his aiming style.  You can watch a slomo of him shooting on youtube.

Anyone know how to get Dave to come over to my house and show me what I'm doing wrong?  
 :laughing:  

I've never met the man, nor have I seen him shoot, but that's one heck of an achievment.
