Anniversary of Roger Rothhaar and John McDonald passing
« on: January 16, 2024, 09:51:44 AM »
Today in 2018 Roger Rothhaar passed on.  Also, John McDonald of Big River bows passed last year.  They both contributed greatly to bowhunting culture and will be remembered with great fondness.

I'm a big fan of Roger's broadheads and John's bows.

I miss talking to John and kidding around with him.  I have accumulated several of his bows and they have all harvested many deer, several turkeys and a bear.
