LaMont had a passion for archery and always drew a group of people.  He had a loyal following of customers due to his honesty and integrity.  Chad

I only just found out about this - so so sad to learn of his passing.

When I first got into archery I was working in Northern Iowa and drove two hours after work on a whim to visit Lamont's shop. Unfortunately, he didn't have any left-handed bows in stock but he did have an old beat up orange fiberglass longbow that could be shot either lefty or righty. He didn't even charge me for it.

It wasn't much (in fact my room mates made fun of me for shooting it), but it was the bow I learned to shoot with and it meant everything to me.

A few months later I ran into him at a shoot and tried to give it back to him. He told me to keep it.

Someday I'll give it to someone else who is just starting out, but for now I am proud to own it.

Great man. I miss him.

That is a Lamont story all right. He was a great guy that did much to promote the sport.

Lamont is smiling down on you Sarah - that is exactly what he would want.  
Thanks for bringing his memory back up and for following his lead in promoting our sport!

My condolences to Lamont's family. I always admired his integrity and will never forget a SD Bowhunter state convention years ago when Lamont made my 5 year old son a deal on a leather quiver ($5) just so he could afford to buy it. It was worth far more than that, but Lamont would not even think of taking more for it. He wanted my son to own it. Truly a great man.

I just purchased one of Lamont's 'old' bows off of the classifieds from chetterB.  It is a lefty Big River Hill style bow.  lt is a beautiful bow and I'm going to name it 'La Grange' for two reasons:  1. to honor Lamont, 2.  My wife is from Texas and the reverend who married us was based in LaGrange and we met with him there the day before our wedding so he could see how we got along and give us his blessing.  Looking forward to shooting Lamont's bow.
