Ed is truly one of the good guys.
I have had the pleasure to hunt with him, and stump shoot with him.
Ed and I were shooting together at the Muzzy one year, when he tripped and fell on a jagged rock.
As he was going down, his natural reaction was to break his fall with his hands, bow included.
Ed came up no worse for wear, but his string broke on one of those rocks. With no extra string on his person, it looked like he was done for that leg.
I offered to share my bow for the rest of the leg, and he not only quickly adapted, but shot it quite well.
Just plain a good and knowledgeable guy to be around.
