Dan - Sorry to report that none of the names you mentioned are our mystery bowman.

Wade- You've really got me stumped on the mystery bowman.I don't know who else to guess.
Since you've shown some photos of Jim Hodek's work,I figured I would include a few shots of one of his bows that I have.Your bow with the intricate carvings is fantastic.He obviously was a very good woodworker.I have shown this bow before whenever threads about oddball bows shows up.This is by far the oddest looking bow I have yet to see.It was given to another Michiganiac by Jim,who was a friend of his.It is dated 1955.This is the shelf side:

Here's the other side.Note the little arrowheads carved into the riser.

And how's this for a limb tip:

Alright,now back to the mystery bowman.Any more clues.Pleeeeeez!

Unless Wade is going to start spotting me letters in the mystery bowmans name I am fresh out of guesses.

John - Ok, here is some more help with the mystery bowman's name...

One letter in his first name is the same as two letters in his last name...

What is the name of the Game Show?...

Does anybody want to buy a vowel?

This is a wild guess

I tried everything to find out more info but here goes Karl E. Palmatier

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #145 on:** October 13, 2009, 05:18:00 PM »

Rick - Accurate guess for the letter clues, but sorry, Karl Palmatier is not our mystery bowman.

Not sure if you know what Karl looked like, but he is standing next to Fred in this photograph... Don't you love Fred's glasses...

I don't know who is at the far right... Does anyone know who he is? Photograph circa 1945...

bowhunterfrompast · « **Reply #146 on:** October 13, 2009, 05:26:00 PM »

Wade..thanks, I could not find a picture of Karl by googling. For as much information that is out there, sometimes it is very limited.

CrookedStick · « **Reply #147 on:** October 14, 2009, 05:22:00 AM »

C'mon guys...somebody's got to know who the mystery bowman is. So I'll move this back up lest we fergit.

Robin Hood???

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #150 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:34:00 AM »

Cliff & John - Wow, both accurate guesses by the repeated letter clue but sorry neither is our mystery bowman.

Robin Hood - John you made me laugh out loud with that guess.

Next Clue...

As unlikely as your Robin Hood guess may seem, it does have the correct letter in the first name that appears twice in the last name...

The rest of the letters should fall into place very easily for the wordsmiths...

jcar315 · « **Reply #151 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:45:00 AM »

Wade, went back and checked previous posts but I may have missed it so if it has been posted prior I do apologize....

Barney Grenier??

jcar315 · « **Reply #152 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:46:00 AM »

Sorry Steve I didn't go back far enough.

My apoligies.

damn it Wade your getting me into hot water again.Mrs bd said if I do not quit running in here every 10 minutes to see if anyone guessed the correct answer yet she's going to lock the back door on me(whatever that means).I've never in my life seen so many wrong guesses on one subject.This is insane you gotta give it today man or I'am going to end up locked outside and may get my butt kicked in the process by her.just pm me the answer so I can get back to work.I swear I won't tell anyone,well maybe trap and a few of the other guy's...come on dad give it up.bd

JavelinaHink · « **Reply #154 on:** October 14, 2009, 11:23:00 AM »

Wade, I have a picture that looks alittle like the unknown bowman, but mine wore glasses but not sure if he did way back then....John Hauch....Hink

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #155 on:** October 14, 2009, 12:22:00 PM »

John & Hink - Sorry guys, not our mystery bowman.

Doc - Sorry for getting you in hot water with Mrs. BowDoc. Let me tell you how to handle women..., just take that back door off its hinges and set it in the garage, and tell he the door is broken. You won't ever have to worry about getting locked out again. The best part is, if you ever do get around to putting that door back on, you will be a hero.

Never thought it but all of your customers are probably getting ticked off at me for distracting you from working on their bows.

Frankly, I don't believe I could have come up with the mystery bowman's name if I had not seen his photograph and name twice in the Grumley memoribilia.

Doc - My problem is..., if I give up the name of the mystery bowman..., there will be no winner..., so who gets the prize ???

4runr · « **Reply #156 on:** October 14, 2009, 12:53:00 PM »

So, if I read things correctly, the first name has an "I" in it and the last name has TWO "I's" in it

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #157 on:** October 14, 2009, 01:20:00 PM »

Kenny... read it again...

Next Clue...

As unlikely as your Robin Hood guess may seem, it does have the correct letter in the first name that appears twice in the last name...

Gotta be William Tell

Okay, I've been watching this and trying to do some research. Given the last clue I'll guess Don Hootman.
