Many guys are still shooting longbows or the Swift recurve built by bowyer Dave Paxton. He had a fine talent for bow building. I was sorry to receive word this evening of Dave's passing. Several years ago I wrote a bowyer interview with Dave for TBM. I found him among the most knowledgeable bow makers of all that I did interviews with. His shop was just a small little rustic building back in the woods of West Virginia on a road appropriately named Stave Branch Road. He was always fun to visit with and talk bows, old time archers, and look at all the neat things he had made for his own hunting use, although he would be quick to tell you, "I am not the world's foremost hunting archer."
