Wade- How about Charlie Payne?

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #83 on:** October 11, 2009, 11:54:00 PM »

John - Sorry our mystery bowman is not Charlie, who was certainly one of the best known bowmen of the era.

I loved Charlie's little characteristic hat. His broadheads are cool too.

May I ask if this bowman was from Michigan?A member of the Detroit Archers?I was thinking maybe Frank Eicholtz(California) but no two letters the same in the last name(if I spelled it right.This is driving me crazy!!!

johnnyrazorhead · « **Reply #85 on:** October 12, 2009, 12:05:00 AM »

Carl Allen?

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #86 on:** October 12, 2009, 12:05:00 AM »

John - Yes, our mystery bowman is a Michigan man. Don't know if he was a member of the Detroit Archers. If you have a membership list, send it to me, I will check it over and let you know.

He is not Frank Eicholtz, who also looks similar.

Don, I don't remember seeing Fred with an earring?

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #91 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:28:00 AM »

Doc - Glad you like the snowy image of Nels, Fred and our mystery bowman... I especially like the flakes of snow showing up as blurred streaks running at a 45 degree angle across the images of the bowmen and trees.

What a great day to be in the woods and silently stalk up on the disoriented whitetails. Not enough days like in any man's life.

Just never realized it, but apparently none of the rest of our TradGang has seen this snowy image before. Would have guessed that Fred also had a copy of this 8"x10" that was in Nels scrap book...

I love Fred's outfit, pulled down hat, glasses and suspenders. The extra layer of clothing puts lots of pounds on Fred's lanky frame. And that light checkered shirt just has to be Fred's 1938 version of snowy camo.

Perhaps the original snow camo shirt for bowhunters...

Wade-I don't believe I have a membership list,just thought it might spark some rememory of someone I had seen in some old Datroit Archers photos.This is a good one!

DGW · « **Reply #93 on:** October 12, 2009, 10:56:00 AM »

Wade is his last name Michelson

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #94 on:** October 12, 2009, 10:57:00 AM »

Wade Phillips · « **Reply #97 on:** October 12, 2009, 11:14:00 AM »

DGW - Sorry, our mystery bowman is not Nick Zrolka.

Off hand, I don't recognize the name Nick Zrolka. Who was he? Maybe my CRS is kicking in this morning.

DGW · « **Reply #98 on:** October 12, 2009, 11:28:00 AM »
