He's a southpaw shootin' a blunt as I recall, but that's all I know.

Yup, that's a young "Lobo" LaClair. Of course, he's probably shooting one of the big weight hunting bows of yesteryear in that picture.

I haven't seen the Kustom King catalog yet but I'm assuming this is the picture they used.

Younger?    :confused:  ... a little younger maybe but hey if it's recognizable it can't be too bad. It was only 25 years ago that it was taken by a local News Paper for an article... I haven't changed that much have I?...except back then I had a 36" waist.    :rolleyes:  .....    :archer:

I had a Maulding Tamarack Longbow and sold it to the late Doug Kerr. Ron's face hasn't changed much, hair a tad grayer....nice pic. I thumbed thru the catalog quickly and had "sticker shock". Couldn't believe some of the prices...WOW...

If Ron's like most of us here (and I am pretty sure he is) he is more of a lucky guy than his wife is a lucky gal!

What has the trad. world gone to when they start putting sexy models on the cover just to sell stuff?  No shame.  That is what it is.

I bet that boy cannot even shoot that thing.  Heck he has it in the wrong hand just for starters.

Hey you guys, I don't think buttering him up will get you a cheaper price on his bows!  If I thought that, I would join right in (after having a few shots to dim my judgement a bit).

Ron....that is a great photo; one that a person would like hanging on a bow room wall.  You're way purtier than Dean Torges   :clapper:
