Some Old Photos...Wow....we're getting old!

[joe skipp]

A customer stopped by and he pulled out my shop photo album. As we laughed our way through some of the customer "shots" we came across a few of our own. Just thought I'd share a few...

Here's one from 1988...myself and my good friend Paul...Note Paul's camo...can't get it anymore...Tall Timber Archery and Woodland....





1995....My son Steven and I bowhunting. He has an original Jack Kempf T/D longbow and I'm shooting a Quillian Patriot T/D....




Here's my Canadian friend Sergio Venneri with his Original Schafer Silvertip and a "guest"




Here's a younger Curt (Guru)...look...he has some hair left...with his Original Kempf Kwik Styk. This was the bow Curt dropped on my shop floor 5 minutes after he held it. We both held our breath as it bounced back up in his arms..




1989...Shooting an Appalachian Archery longbow from Dave Guthrie...I was doing an article for Western Bowhunter on the effectiveness of ASAT...

Joe,
 I have one of Dave Guthrie's Middle Mountain longbows and love it. I wouldn't dream of trading off that one.

BTW: Nice photo's!

Good stuff Joe! I love the first pic! I was just looking through the archives awhile ago and thinking how I've aged hard the last few years. Boy, I can sure see the year piling up quick. I'll leave out my pic's, ok... LOL! CK

Easy there Skipper!!!!! Next year I'll have been a VERY satisfied customer of yours for 10 YEARS!!!!!    

(BTW, If I'd have met you around 1985 I never would have given up bowhunting in the first place)

WOW.....Time Flies!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Jeeper's Joe;
         Is that a walk down memory lane or what? I remember the year that you and paul& vinnie came up Bear hunting!! Remember that 100# sow also! after watching her chase a 300# Boar off for 3 evenings, i decided it was time to put her toe nails in the air.Turns out that she was 23 years old, teeth worn real bad don't think she would have survived the winter. Then the next evening i sat the stand again and tipped the Boar over, last day of the season! heh heh. I,m still shooting Snuffers and Silvertips! Thanks Joe!!
