Yeah Danny, they want money from me now! Hope this next one comes through.

It's a picture taken sometime in the mid 50's. In this group of real old timers is Earl Hoyt Jr. and Paul Jefferies. Founding fathers in this state.

Any guesses?

Charlie,

I'm getting the same message instead of a picture.

I don't think I have ever enjoyed a thread more! At least not since "Bow test on a dead cow"...

Charlie, reduce the resolution of your pics to 72 and then set the width to 600 pix before loading to Photobucket (if you haven't already) You can load a bunch more pics for free and the quality when posting is not effected

Here's one. Wish Dan Q was posting here. He's probably got a bunch of photos

Here's the last shot of the Wingshooting tournament. This is 20 yards mind you...at a fast moving target from a machine

Raven, Stan had it right, the guy in the vest is Norm Blaker. For several years Norm and I did shooting demonstrations together at various events shooting targets from unorthodox positions including shooting stuff out of the air. For the Grand Finale we would shoot an aspirin tossed in the air.

If you go to the main forums and click on Vintage Videos, then click on my name, then Saco Speed Round, you can see Norm and I shooting a speed round together.

Thanks! I did a search on the net and found out more about him. Sounds like one heck of a guy!

You two need to find a "Time Machine" and get back home.

Here's a younger looking Glenn St Charles and also a younger looking me at a PBS banquet about 15 years ago.

What an awesome thread! You all are to be commended! Thanks for sharing in your history and saving it here. Sure wish I had all of my family's old photos; but, they were lost in a fire that destroyed my parents home 5 Jan 1990. Love the old black and whites! Wish Jack Howard would put some more up, I'm sure he has a bunch that he's holdin on to. Thanks guys, keep them coming....

Hey Charlie,
What happened that you surpassed your bandwidth on Photobucket? I can't see your posted pics. Anyone have an answer? Would like to see his pics, too.

Van/TX · « **Reply #435 on:** June 03, 2005, 08:12:00 PM »

Just a scan of an old piece of paper filed away in the scrapbook. 1962 NFAA National shoot. I'm on the practice butts waiting to start but Dad is walking around BSing with archers carring around this piece of paper and having folks sign it. I don't know why but glad he did. If you are young you will recognize a few names. If you are old you will recognize more. Right Ron?

I just wanted to chime in and say thanks guys,I've really enjoyed this thread....Jim.

Right Van. That's quite an impressive group of signatures.

A whos who in 62.

Here's a picture from the early 1980's taken at Anderson Archery Bowhunters Clinic in Grand Ledge Michigan. The picture was taken by Roger Combs of Bow & Arrow Magazine and was printed in the Magazine.

They had a chronograph set up and a long line of people with compounds waiting to shoot through it. In those days Compounds didn't shoot much over 200 FPS and some didn't even hit 200. I got in line with my longbow. Mine was the only traditional bow in the line and nobody expected much out of my straight stick. I had my 104# Big Horn longbow shooting port orford cedar. When my turn came it put three arrows through at 218,220, and 222 FPS. That was better than most of the compounds had done and as I pulled my arrows and walked away a fellow said, "what weight is that bow?" and I replied, " one hundred four pounds" everybody laughed, I supposed because that explained why a longbow outshot so many compounds. Later I wished I had said it was 50#...that would have left them scratching their heads. :D

Another picture of the 104# bow I called "Brute" having fun shooting a 38" "mock" elephant arrow.
