Joe - All collectors are crazy. Some are even obsessed. It has taken a lifetime to accumulate all of these treasures.

One of the best things about collecting old archery tackle is that there is always something more to discover and something more to learn about the history of these wonderful treasures.

Got the chance to visit this outstanding collection the other weekend and thought I would bring it TTT for anybody who hasn't seen this thread.  Was truly an honor to see it Wade.    Jeremy

I saw some of Wades collection at the Archery Collectors Show at Cabelas a few years ago. Was very impressed with his friendly demeanor and absolutely amazed at his easily presented history and knowledge of archery. In the past I have been fortunate to see the St Charles Archery Museum at the now closed Northwest Archery Co. shop in Seattle and the Ishi display at the Berkeley Campus but to see this collection up front and personel would be at the top of any archers list. WOW, Thanks for bringing it back!!

Wade,
 Can I get on your inheritence list? I'm sure we are related somehow and I would really take great care of all that...Very nice collection and you need a special museum for all that to be displayed where all us traditional brothers can enjoy it..Even if you just left each member one piece of your collection I think there will be enougth for all of us to share  :D

Wade, really nice collection.  I spent a lot of time with Floyd and Joannie when they were alive.  It's nice to see a lot of the items that were in his collection

I too just saw this.....this is the "mountain" of gold at the end of the rainbow if you're a traditional archer and lover of history.

I would love to spend a week or two just looking. Wade, a worthy lifes work.
