Ron Foley retiring
« on: October 27, 2017, 11:00:00 AM »
Just wanted to pass on the sad news that Ron Foley has decided to retire from making bows. Ron made an excellent bow and was always a pleasure to deal with. In addition to being a excellent bowyer he is also a great person who I'm proud to call friend. I wish him well on whatever he decides to do next.

He came to a couple of our shoots here in LA.  Takes a special man to drive as far as he did for a shoot as small as ours.  I always love conversing with him.  I may need to snag a bow of his before they're all gone!

I won the Compton Dream Raffle back in 2009.  Ron made me these two fine matching bows-a one piece and three piece longbow-as the main raffle prize.  He is a super bowyer and an upstanding man.  It is my pleasure to have worked with him and call him a friend.  Hopefully he'll continue to be active in some shoots and banquets.

Nice guy talked to him a couple times on the phone, owned one of his T/D recurves, very fast and easy to shoot.. one of the guys at my archery shop finally got me to sell it to him after he shot it and loved it.
