Ron, It looks like you are amazed at the size of that group   "[tunglaff]"  Looks like one of mine!  OK, maybe you were standing a little further away from the target.  ;)  

Love the old pics guys - as has already been said, this is a thread that needs to stay around.  It really is a classic.

Looks like the 30 yarder on a field round. Longest shot for a 12" target face. Gets pretty small at that range barebow.  I was happy with a 12 or better  :wavey:  ....Van

Ron... didn't eat the porky. Probably should have. By the time I got done skinnin, I was a little tired of looking at him.

Once put a few quills in my hat band cause I thought it would look cool... it did! I also "pinned" my hat to my head one day while puttin on my shoulder quiver. Duh!!   :knothead:

By the way Ron, we've only met once. At a shoot in Michigan I think. You and Jay Massey were sittin on the tailgate of a station wagon having a "beverage". I ended up sharing a BIG bottle of wine with Jay and the night got to be real fun.    :D

Hope we can visit one of these days.

That must have been the GLLI. Jay came to several of those and we always had a good time.

You should come up here to Michigan again, either the GLLI or the Compton Rendezvous. Heck Missouri isn't too far from Michigan.    :)

Hey Ron,

You mean like the one where our buddy Tim Cosgrove took on Dick Robertson in the wrestling match and later that night Jay Massey took on G. Fred in a debate about an entry into Pope and Young by a certain Alaskan bow hunter?

Ya Ray, those were fun times. Almost as much fun as we have now at the Compton Rendezvous every year.   :bigsmyl:

Charlie,

I still remember that conversation and can picture the scene. I left out the name of the individual on purpose (no one that visits here by the way). It would be good for you to come north for a visit again. The Comptons shoot is first up on the schedule.   :thumbsup:

Enjoyed those old pics thanks for sharing. I wonder how many old pics will survive the digital age, you know the ones stored on a computer instead of in a shoe box. I've already lost a few that I forgot to transfer,or deleted by mistake

This one's from 1965, the year I broke my wrist and figured out a way to bowhunt. It wasn't easy, I had to cut down the brush and weeds for a shooting lane because I was so close to the ground. I had several shots that year but didn't connect. At least I was in the woods and not sitting home feeling sorry for myself.    :)

Ray and Ron... I'd love to get up that way again. Not sure of the dates and more than likely will be huntin.

Here's a snowshoe hare pic. Like Ron I've spent my share of time on snowshoes. About as good as it gets.

Ron...Cool.  My Dad did it later.  Must have copied you   :bigsmyl:  1989
 

Here's an old one of my Dad with a big doe.  68" Bushmaster bow with socks, barrelled and footed POC, natural turkey feathers, with a suicide bow quiver.  Man those were the days   :bigsmyl:
