A name from the past.  I've heard of him and have seen him shooting in movie clips and perhaps old archery books when I was a kid.  Can't remember any details though.  You know, Old Timers Disease.

Markworth was pretty well known in his day Cody. He used a bow called a Sovereign also if I'm not mistaken. Not a Pearson made Soveriegn but something built in California- I'm struggling to remember all this and can't swear to my accuracy. I heard he changed/ replaced bows very frequently for performance issues. Bowdoc may remember more about him. I do remember that he was a very very good shot.           Grant
