Definitely my dad and a work buddy of his named Joe. Joe passed a few years ago, but I still have dad!

For me it was my buddy Jeff Holchin and Bob Morrison who got me interested in traditional archery.

For me, my dad and my uncle. Both of them shoot a compound, but when my dad was getting me started he thought I should learn with a recurve, because that was how he and his brothers had learned. And my uncle let me read his autographed copy of Come November (provided I was really careful). Both of them gave me a lot of tips when I was younger, so when I restarted shooting a recurve a couple years ago I had a good foundation.

I pretty much did it solo. I have some trad friends now, but in the beginning I was the real oddball. I bought a used Widow MA from a local guy named Ed Robbins and three months later took my first turkey. And the journey began.
Funny thing. Before I started with trad equipment I hunted just as hard and was fairly successful. It wasn't until I lost the wheels that I could tell that I had earned some respect in the hunting community. To say you do it is one thing. To show it, is another. I have become a much more humble hunter, but very confident. I take a lot of pride in the time I took to teach myself.

My Dad.
Can't believe how patient he was with me back when I was ten and talked him into letting me go with him. I was not able or equipped to hunt then, but those were wonderful days!

17 years ago at the age of 20 years old my dad bought me a recurve for my b-day. 17 years later I'm still using It but just recently ordered a Schafer Silvertip from Dave. Now my old recurve will be a back up. Prior to them 17 years I shot a compound for 9 years.
Thanks dad for helping me go down the traditional path. A path he's been going down for 30+ years.

A dear friend who goes by the handle "Dodger" here
I have always been interested in all sharp, pointy or anything that goes boom but never took serious interest until I met Dodger. He is the one who introduced me and many others to the world of Airguns, Fishing and now traditional archery
Thanks Dodger for all the help and putting up with my questions.

I would like to thank a really beautiful man for getting me going in 1989, and giving me reassurance all along the way. Dan Neebe is a retired elementary school PE teacher who has a very viable bowshop at his home in PA. He is one of those people who just loves hunting and fishing with his entire being. He is the kind that has plenty of big trophies and nothing to brag about. The kind of guy who loves the outdoors because it is there to enjoy. I do not think that I will ever be able to sufficiently express my appreciation for teaching me about the sport that has given me so much enjoyment for the last 20 years
