I finally met Big Jim-and it was really cool
« on: March 27, 2016, 01:31:00 PM »
I went to the Dan Quillian Memorial State Shoot in Thomaston, GA. When I got there and went up to see him, he says, "That's some bow ya got there."
So I asked him to hold it.    :D  
 
He was everything everyone said he was-genuine, humble, and all around decent.
 
 
 
 
 
I could say that about everyone I have met and talked to over the past year.
What a great weekend.

The full album of that weekend is here:

I've only had minimal business with him but based on those experiences I'd give 11 gold stars out of 10! Top notch.

Yep if TG had a sponsor of the year award no doubt Jim's name would always end up in the pot. What's not to love about the beast!

Elizabeth,  I do believe I have held your arrows before.

They look just like some a  friend of mine the woodchucker had.
