Anniversary of Roger Rothhaar and John McDonald passing
« on: January 16, 2025, 11:51:22 AM »
Gentlemen;
Today is the Anniversary of the passing of both Roger Rothhaar and John C. McDonald.  Roger gave us great stories and guidance.  John gave us Big River bows.  I am proud to say that I have four of John's bows.  Both these men left an indelible mark on archery.

Decades ago I called Roger one night and asked for an autograph copy of his book. I remember him being such a down to earth guy and talked with me for quite a while. I was extremely impressed with him for taking that time.

Never met either of these gents, talked with them both several times.  Had dinner at Ryan's house once and had a good chat about his father.  Brian, I miss John as well.  Have a recurve and one each of his longbows.
