Hello Guys, Here is something I have never posted before.. The things you find put away in boxes.. Guys I had these two news paper  clippings for a long time and just found them two day.. The first of is Before Bill took off for his Africa hunt.. The date is unknowed as there is no date on this paper clippings....

That looks to be a Hill stlye Head he has..

 

 

 

Next is a follow up when he is on his hunt..

 

I have never seen thses two news paper  clippings before...

Enjoy,

Cody

Cody, Great "find" in your stuff. Cool pic in a trench coat with his bow & arrow/broadhead combo. Any way to get a pic that is close enough to read the article??? What does it say about Fred?

Great read. Thanks again Cody. So he rated himself a "fair" shot? Don't know what kind of shot I would be on elephants at recurve range....

Guys, Do any of you know what bow Al had that was Bill's.. Because I am thinking that the bow that Al was showing me was Bill's work out bow which was also a #100 I wonder if that is the same bow that Al that is in the article?......

Any help would be great,


Cody

Cody - Nice article about Negley, thanks for posting it.

Negley's 102# bow was in the Bear Museum in Florida the last time I saw it.

Fred made 5 bows for Negley to work up in weight while in training over several months, if I remember the weights correctly they were 73#, 78#, 90#, 96#, 102#. Negley broke the 78# right after the 90# arrived.  

When I was at Al's home, he showed me one of Negley's bows, can't remember which one it was for sure, it had to be either the 73#, 90# or 98#.

I have the 100# identical twin to Negley's 102#, but mine was not made as one of Negley's bows and does not have Fred's inscription to Negley on it.

Very cool, Cody.

Fellows, Bill actually did clean-miss one elephant on a later hunt, at ten yards range!
