Visualize the backstraps, guys, just visualize the backstraps.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

In 1983 Hugh Rich sent me this signed picture of Walt Wilhelm.

White ones were cheaper, right?

All kidding aside, you are one of my heroes here. I am constantly reminded how fortunate we are to have this medium.

:thumbsup:  Van - Love the nostalgia pics. Thanks for sharing. I own an old Ben Pearson quiver and glove of my Dads...means even more now after seeing some of these pics.

Just curious.......would any of you be interested in turning your favorite traditional photo into an oil painting that you could hang in your trophy room (sometimes aka the living room)?  If so, just send me a pm.

This is some of the folks at the first Great Lakes Longbow Invitational in Michigan in 1985. Are any of you in the picture? I'm the one in the dark shirt. The screen in the back ground is my backstop for shooting arial targets.

Ron L., that Pic of you "Picking up the Armstrong Cr. Buck" is great. I have the Poem you sent me framed&mounted under my bowrack. By the way there's one empty peg on the rack for my future 60" 53# S.Shrew. Hope I can manage to order it soon!

Hope this link works? I have made a Bowrack since this Pic was taken and hung it right overtop where this bow was at.
