Its about time!
« on: February 19, 2009, 10:07:00 AM »
Hello  to all, I thought I’d take a few minutes to introduce myself  here , I have been making a few posting and most of you guys most likely don’t know me. I’ve been hunting since the mid sixties and collecting those type items that we use in the field. I really enjoy taking some of the collection around to shows, shoots and banquets and talking about such things. I’m 56 years old , married to my wife Debbie or 35 yr. have two children Bill 29yr. Jennifer 27yr. Debbie and Jennifer usually help me setup the displays, they don’t quite like it as much as me but they tell me it makes them  happy to watch me when I start talking to people as they come by to look at the display’s, I’d say I’m real fortunate to have a  understanding family that understands the addiction.I really like this site and the people here seem to be down to earth. Thanks for taking time to read this.     So here’s some pic’s of the Michigan Deer & Turkey Show I just setup at last weekend.

Bill – Thanks for posting the photographs. Great job! You have really been busy adding to your displays since the last time I saw them.

I can pick out dozens exceptional items that are nearly lost in the photographs. You need to post a few hundred Close Ups so we can all see everything a lot better. LOL Would be nice to have that much server space for photographs.

May have even located a few articles in your photographs for consideration in trade for my duplicate, unused, rare, 1940 item that you want so desperately… Trade negotiations are always so much fun when the other party is helplessly committed to acquiring that specific item regardless of what it takes to close the deal… LOL

You might want to post a close up of your pheasant with the Shotgun Arrowhead.  That’s always interesting.

Looking forward to examining your displays closer at Compton. Which reminds me, I best get busy updating some displays, Compton is only 4 months away… For active collectors of old archery tackle,  building and renovating displays is a never ending project, but always fun!!!

Bill – Keep up the good work.

Great thread!  What an interesting collection.  Wish I were closer to examine some of those specimens a little closer.  Who is the gentleman featured on the left side of the 4th photo?

Thanks,
Tom I.

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

Tom - The fellow in the on the left side of the case in 4th photograph down is Karl E. Palmatier. Shown to the right of his photograph is his Compton Medal of Honor, the NFAA's highest award.

Karl was also awarded the Thompson Medal of Honor, the NAA's highest award (not shown in this display).

Karl Palmatier was also an inductee in the initial class of the Archery Hall of Fame, along with Fred Bear, Howard Hill, Russ Hoogerhyde, Ann Weber Hoyt, Ben Pearson and J. Maurice Thompson. Looks like it might be Karl’s Archery Hall of Fame plaque under his Compton Medal of Honor.

Very few men have received all three of these highest of honors from the archery community.

This photograph is the first time I have seen this display, but it appears that everything in the left side of the case is Karl’s… including his straight end Grumley bow…

Truly an incredible display of some very historically significant items from one of Archery’s least known, all-time-greats.

Hi Guy's ...glad you like them.
Brent...I'm glad you liked the displays, looks like you came along way to be at the show.

Chuck....the case's are nice for holding alot of items being double sided but sometimes hard to display so people can see both sides.

Ken....Thanks

Cody...thanks for the picture...I don't have many with me with the displays.

Tom...thanks...I can always send a picture of certain items. Arrows from Art Young to Barbed Zwickey's

Joseph....I'm glad you like the pictures

Jack....I think this is a great place to be, there is alot of knowledge that is shared here.

Wade....Thanks for the prase you have always been there to answer my questions and point me in the right direction. And I'm always open for trading....I know there are some items from 1937 that would be nice to take around here in Michigan .
Here is another photo of the Shotgun Arrow, It shoots 9 missle loaded in a tube on a Flu-Flu Arrow.

Bill - You mention Floyd's Great Lakes Archery Museum in your last post...

This is a photograph of Floyd's 8 foot long sign that was on the front of his archery shop...

Floyd's enlarged handwritten note on the right side says these three lines...

Fred Bear always said
"Happy Hunting"
Me too Floyd Eccleston
