Len taught me to shoot when I was a kid. He ran a shop in Bellville, N.J. called Butts and Bows for years. They ran the N.J. state hunter education course at his shop. So at 10 years old I went to get my license, the instructor looked at me with a skeptical look on his face as I dragged my used Bear compound bow (Len always tried to get me to shoot a recurve) to the line in front of all the other adults and proceeded to drop 6 arrows in the bull (all touching) at 15 yards. So the instructor asked who taught me to shoot and there was Len and my dad in the back of the room smiling and clapping. Good memories as a kid. Lens a great guy, and knows his stuff!
I just wish he had the shop still now that I am learning about the recurves and stuff. I ran into him at a sportsman show a few years ago and we talked, but he’s getting old…what a great guy! If he’s giving lessons, I’m in too!
