Man what an awesome thread. I sure wish I had a camera in the '60s when me and my brother Danny and our friend used to go hunting with the old fiberglass bows. Lots of rabbits, squirels shot in the trees,turkeys on the fly, gar and carp in the rivers. I finaly got a early take down curve to shoot in the late 70's and took deer in Michigan and Texas. You young guys have it made with the digital cameras of today. Please take pictures others will cherish them  in the years to come. I love this thread.

This was a big club tournament in Calif, Marin co. I was 14 , 6 foot tall, and 140 lbs. All that hair has re-grouped to my back and butt!

Biff - Not a mental picture I wanted, I was just fine with the pic of hair on your head...


Looks like some long distance shooting, fun-fun-fun.

Ron, how did you know he wasn't wearing a loincloth? Were you there? To tell the truth, I am sure that he would be more presentable with one than without.

I'm STILL Killdeer.

Frank Garske is one of the neatest guys I've ever met. I made a special trip to his desert home many years ago to meet him. One of the truly unknown pioneers of bowhunting. He used to go into the Bob Marshall Wilderness alone and bowhunt in buckskins for up to a month every September way back when it was really a wilderness. Routinely made and shot 100# plus longbows. He was a student and master of every aspect of archery and bowhunting. He was an INCREDIBLE shot. He mastered at least two trick shots that Hill couldn't. A Garske quote: "No such thing as a trick shot...just hard targets." He could also keep more arrows in the air at one time than anyone I ever heard of, including Howard Hill. Probably killed more wild sheep with a bow than any man in history. Beat the Arabs at their own game before WWII while stationed in Egypt, beating the fastest Arab climber in a race to the top of one of the Great Pyramids when the Arabs issued a challenge to the U. S. Army. By the way, he carried his longbow and arrows during the race and then proceeded to hit his own quiver laid in the sand with a flight shot from the top of the pyramid. No Pharaoh in history had ever cleared the base! VERY interesting unknown legend. I know, I know, you want to hear more. Some other time. A book needs to be written about this guy. Just look at his photo and tell me he wasn't one of a kind.

Does Frank Garske yet live? Found an article that mentioned him in the same breath with Dr. Grayson.
