Yes Byron is one of the Greats in archery!
As for the broadheads, its a compliment to Jerry from Byron, as they were good friends! Byron probably did more than any to promote those heads!

Whatever you say.  Not sure how much of a compliment it is to copy a design to compete with the guy who bought the company from Jerry.  There is more to the story than that, but I will leave it alone.

I met Byron once and had a chance to talk for a while, great guy. I bought one of his shooting gloves, nice looking and well made. The only one I use now.

pdk25,  a well known bow maker told me years ago, "When someone copies my design I look at it as a compliment" I always try to remember that when someone makes bows that look like mine.      :goldtooth:
We live in the present, we dream of the future, but we learn eternal truths from the past
When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.
Life is like a wet sponge, you gotta squeeze it until you get every drop it has to offer

I'll never forget when I was young and we lived in North Alabama.  Dad told me he was getting a longbow made by Byron Ferguson.  Of course then I didn't have a clue who he was, but we rode out to his house and met him and Dad told him what he wanted.  I remember how nice a guy he was and all the stories he told.  Dad still has that bow... a 50# Redhawk.  A childhood experience I will never forget and the beginning of my fascination with traditional archery.
