I know others probably said this, but feel cann't be said enough. Seen Mr. Barta after his stroke shoot a deer, not with a gun, crossbow, nor compound, but longbow. Not the greatest hit, but even quad's have bad hits. I am impressed that mr. Barta not only represents traditonal archery in a strong and good light, but he also shows the moxey that a man must posses to proceed in life and realize that there is more even when one valued trait is taken away, thank you Mr. Tred, keep your string waxed!!
