Sad news for the traditional community .... bought my 1st custom bow from Dale in 88 which I still own always enjoyed my many conversations .... my last call to him he answered the phone with "Frank where you been haven't heard from you in months"  kinda like a concerned parent.   RIP Dale you'll be missed

An end un befitting such an exceptional man. Prayers and condolences to his family. He will live on thru the friendships he made and the craftsmanship he built. Lots of "Good Medicine" out there thanks to Dale. R.I.P.

I had the opportunity to shoot with Dale, years ago at some local 3D shoots. I even managed to get flighted with him and a couple other shooters who were leading or closely trailing the leaders of the pack once or twice years ago.  I used to shoot hot pink fletches and pink nocks to aid in tracking arrow flight and recovery from the neighbor's pasture/gopher fields.
I got a summer job up in Alaska and was able to come back and order a Trails End "Good Medicine" bow from Dale.  His shop was close enough, that I was able to drive down to his shop to place my order in person and visit again for some final fitting in the grip.  When I picked up the my finished bow he smiled and razzed me a little, he told me he had just about signed Made for "Pinky" on the riser.

Life, school, and work led to fewer shoots, but I would still see Dale at 3D events a few more times over the years.  He seemed to always have a  big smile on, was warming and easy to be around.  I can picture him with his ball cap and backquiver on at a 3D event. And, i can picture him in his shop showing me my bow and some of the other bow projects he was working on.  He will be missed.

Rest In Peace Dale

A tragedy. I never met him or even saw one of his bows, except in pictures.  All I ever heard was very positive.
