Dean Torges
« on: November 06, 2016, 07:39:00 AM »
I just read on PA that Dean Torges passed away on Nov. 4. If this is the case it is another sad day for traditional and wood bow archery, and the bow hunting world.

Pat,
That is what I heard yesterday.  I know he had been fighting cancer the past year.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Sad news indeed.  Have known Dean for many years but hadn't made contact in the last five or so.  I will share this with Rusty.

I was just rereading a copy of his book Hunting The Osage Bow last night.  I always liked his writings.  Prayers go out to his family.
