Wow what a fantastic window into the past! Since your grandfather and your father are on the cover, was there a feature article about them in the magazine? What a gift!

I would say that traditional archery lies within you.

I bet the day you asked your Mom for a bow she knew that God was letting her know they are in good hands and it was His way of showing her to keep the faith....I know this pic will be cherished forever and I can only imagine the joy she felt that day...God Bless and Thanks for sharing that...Keefers <")))><

Mike,
I know how you feel here is a picture of my grandfather on right in his younger years...around 1910. This was done on silk screen and is in the book "100 years Hunting Wisconsin" I only met him once when I was 15 years old. All I remember is what a great story teller he was and what a wonderful night. Now my first grand child is due in August, sure hope to have a picture like yours one day...Doc

Strange how our instincts are blood linked and passed on...

Kudos to your cousin and Congrats to you on holding tight to heritage.

Mat it, frame it, regale in it!

I like old photos like that. When archery was archery....

It's always nice when you can reconnect with your roots.

Doc,
That is a great picture. Im sure there will be a lot of great pics in your future. Best wishes for your family come August. Maybe you should start out with a Crib Bow pic. :D
