I met him at "The Bowhunters Discount Warehouse" back in 1987 with the Scent shield brand Earth scent products and I talked with him and bought a bottle from them and still today use brands that have only Earth scent on every hunt. I also was able to get his signature on a paper target and on that target in the Heart zone Fred Bear and Tom Jennings signed their names and Myles didn't want to put his name where those two had put theirs because he didn't think he was anyone important..He signed his name outside the line and so did Tom Flemming.I was hooked on reading everything about him before this from Outdoor life and was finally getting to meet the man in person.To be honest I went there to hopefully meet him only because of what I read about him and how he has been so successful taking so many deer with his Black widow recurve.I do remember he was pretty tall and reminded me of Bo Duke on the Duke of Hazzard lol..That paper target has dried out and torn in a few places but is out in my shop needing to be put in a frame so all can see..

You mentioned Tom Fleming but I doubt too many outside Maryland knew him.  I think he wrote the first book on rattling.  He passed away about 3 years ago in Florida.

VA   way cool, thanks for digging that up. I remember he did shoot some kind of a sight at one time on his recurve, not sure if he did that long. and remember him running the road grader and talking to locals and the rural mail man that always stuck with me as a awesome way to scout while on the job.

VA thanks for the link. Great interview.

It was and your welcome. I tried to find something about old Alan Altizer but there is nothing out there on him. He was a deer killing machine with both the recurve and compound.....

I think if I remember right, on his black widow bows he used to tape one match stick as a sight - later he used fixed sights on compounds but I think he said he always just used one sight pin
