Dang Charlie...We got more in common than good looks and a refined palet for smooth tequilla   :bigsmyl:  

 I have broken more bones than Carter hasliver pills I've broken both arms wrist numerous times most fingers ankle, legs, collar bones, back (twice)and several toes. Lets just say I should own stock in an aspirin company  :bigsmyl:

This awesome thread deserves a bump. Thanks for sharing all the old pic's and I am so glad so many documented so many wonderful moments with the camera.

This is my first whitetail, 1976, taken with a Ben Pearson 55# Hunter.

I found this site about a month ago. I can`t stay away. My wife can`t believe it.
I found this thread, and was just gonna take a quick look. Now I`m late!!!! 40 plus pages of archery history, from all over our country! To everyone who took the time to get those pictures on here, THANK YOU. I haven`t checked them all out yet, but I`ll be back. Thanks again, Don

Charlie, after my motorcycle accident in November of 1981 I thought my hunting days were over and many thought my LIFE was over, but by the grace of God I made it. I had to learn to walk in the woods again without running into trees.     :D    I guess when the passion is strong little can keep a man from pursuing it. Glad you were able to return and pursue yours.     :thumbsup:

Ryan,
 You'll notice that Too Short is exactly the same length as my arrows in that picture. I wore that wool hat on only one hunt. Bought it used from a surplus store. Broke out in a rash completely around my forehead where it touched. Not a good sign....

This first one is of me and my Dad when I was 5 years old. If you look close just behind my knee you can see the old bear quiver and polar recurve laying down.
 
Then this is one of Dad and my son Scott when he was 5 years old. The tradition lives on and the old man is still hunting them big bucks with the stckbow!

Ah, so true. But try to tell that to the young bow babes! "Once," sad to say, is the operative term. I am 61, going on 18!
