Not sure I ever saw this thread before. It's great! Thanks Charlie & Ron & all who posted their pix. Didn't take photos of my early bowhunting years. Kodak Brownies needed expensive film. But, I'm reliving through you guys. Thanks.

I can't get over people talking about the eighties and nineties... as though that was all that long ago.   :dunno:

Yesterday when I was young  
there were so many bows just waiting to be strung  

so many feathered shafts to send upon the wind  I never thought the time for that would ever end

Me with my first longbow. I think I was preparing for a grizzly hunt that season.

Ron. FYI, I recently attended a Byron Ferguson trick shooting demonstration. When he did the shot seated with the longbow on his foot, he credited you for giving him the idea. Clint

Any updates would have to be "Old Duffers Are Old".
Here's some taken since the original run.
