Here is one doing some disk shooting, that's a old solid glass Ben Pearson bow, that I started with many moons ago.

If you get the Grizzly Tools catalog, 'ol Dan Haggerty is right there in the front of the catalog. He and some big ass bear are the spokesperson(bear) for Grizzly) I tried to bring it up from there website but could not find it on their site. But anyway , Dan looks good and looks for the world like Ron LaClair !

Man o man, that den looks like a place I could put my feet up and hear some tales of hunting and rest my eyes on bows and photos. I have one of your Shrew quivers for carrying on the Harley, but from the pic I have been wearing it wrong.

Ron, you need to start doin some interior design consulting.  If you could send my wife one of your "cards"  and recommend we decorate our basement similar to the above photos she just might agree to it.  She listens to strangers way better than she does me anyhow.  Worth a try.   :thumbsup:    :notworthy:

Here's to wish'n we could go back and do it all over again. I sure as heck wish I'd started shooting long bows earlier.

A long bow and a steel horse...can life get any better?

A blast from the past , my first deer with a bow 1974. I used a 45lb. Shakespeare Kaibab bow with Bear broadhead and Herters alum. arrows. He came in with two does on the other side of a ravine, I was sitting on a root ball of an overturned tree. [/IMG]
