(TG)- Tell us about yourself.
(Paul H)- I'm 14 going into highschool as a freshman. I like to build stuff is usually what I tell people when they ask what I like to do.
(TG)- How long have you been bow hunting with traditional gear?
(Paul H)- I've never been bowhunting at all but I'd love to someday.
(TG)- Any heroes? Any role models?
(Paul H)- My dad's one of my role models. he doesn't hunt or shoot at all but he's a good man.
(TG)- Do you have a mentor that helps with you bow hunting?
(Paul H)- no mentor with hunting but Ralph Renfro has been my mentor for bow and arrow building.
(TG)- Does any of your family hunt or fish?
(Paul H)- No one anywhere in my family that I know of hunts or fishes. my grandpa used to fish a lot but he doesn't anymore. I like to fish but I don't much.
(TG)- What or who first got you involved in traditional bow archery?
(Paul H)- I've always been fasinated with bows and arrows since I was about 3 years old. I loved watching the cartoon disney movie robin hood. my first bow was a little fiberglass bow with suction cup arrows.
since I was about two years old I loved working with tools. One day about a year ago I was trying to think of something to build and I though of a wooden bow. So I looked it up on the internet and started doing research.
(TG)- What are your bowhunting goals?
(Paul H)- my bowhunting goal is to actually kill something with my own selfbow and cane arrows.
(TG)- Do you make any of your own gear?
(Paul H)- I make all of my own gear. the only thing I didn't make so far that I have is a flint arrowhead tommy leans made for me. I just finished my first bow, and osage selfbow. Ralph Renfro gave the stave to me. my first attempt at a bow was brutally murdered on a bandsaw when I was having a shop teacher cut it out on a bandsaw. He cut a limb right off right after a fade. It took me like 30 hours to chase a ring with my dinky little 5 inch drawknife. When I went to mojam ralph helped me tiller my bow and I made a few cane arrows.
(TG)- Do you do any small game hunting?
(Paul H)- no small game hunting
(TG)- Tell us what your dream hunt would be.
(Paul H)- dream hunt? right now it would be squirels or rabbits. not very dreamy huh?
