Who would you like to meet?
« on: January 15, 2012, 05:11:00 PM »
What famous or non-famous, Past or present traditional hunter would you like to meet & why?


I have a few tradders I'd like to meet but for starters I'll say Mike Mecredy @ Maddog. Because for one he's in the process of making me a pink custom recurve and for two I would like to talk to him about how he actually started making bows. That's an art like no other to me. The workmanship & time it must take to make just one is amazing to me.

I can personally vouch that Bob Barnes is a good person to meet and get to know.

I'd be willing to bet that Buddy Bell would fall into the same category.

Mr. Ron LaClair along with G Fred and Teresa Asbell.
Really hoping to take the hog for a cruise out to Michigan this summer. Would be worth it just for a story or two.

I've met in person and talked with Fred Bear and Bob Lee.

With the above said, I'd like to meet (in person) and talk with Norm Johnson of Blacktail Bows, Wes Wallace of Wes Wallace Bows and Bill Howland of Brackenbury Bows.

Jim Dougherty.  Back in the day I couldn't wait for the next Bow and Arrow mag to show up at the drugstore.  I truly admire his writting style.
