Years ago when I was hunting with a compound and trying different broadheads on elk I called Muzzy with some questions. The person on the phone listened and then said, they would let me talk to Michelle. Not knowing who Michelle was, I thought who is this gal and I want to talk to someone who knows about broadheads, not the "stock girl". She was very polite and surprised me with her knowledge of broadheads. Later I figured out who I had been talking to and Laughed.  :smileystooges:

I have been a Fred Eichler fan for a little while as well. I just love his overall enthusiasm.

Michele is Waaaay better looking than Fred or Byron!  Period.  End of story!    :biglaugh:  

I've hunted with Fred and Michele 5 different times and they are both extremely generous people.

Ya know if there was ever a person you could meet and maybe go huntn with or just fling a few arrows with at some 3d range. Well if I could meet a guy it would be Fred. Why you say why not Mr. Bear  or Byron or many of the others, but Fred is one of my idol's I also own a 55# buffalo. If Fred is ever around AR I'll be there.

Fred used to post on the LW as justabowhunter quite a bit, he got blasted some for switching back forth from compound to Trad.  I hope that didn't run him off.
I also enjoy his shows, never met the man but but seems like a great guy that would be fun to hunt with.

Both Fred and Michelle are pretty darn awesome to talk to. If given a chance.  Don't hesitate to stop and say hello.

Never have heard much about him. Just seen the adds of the stuff he endorses and kind of turned a blind eye. Glad to see a thread like this cause I usually get turned off by the big name guys for what ever reason. Character flaw I guess.

 Nice to see a big name fellow get these kinds of compliments from the folks I trust the most.

 I'll have to put meeting Fred on my list.    :thumbsup:

Have shot with him and have spent time with him and Michelle when they came to speak at bowhunters of Wyoming. A more passionate soul would be tough to find.

I will agree you can't trust this Fred Character as he has cost me several hundered dollars in the past year. As I bought myself a #55 Buffalo in november of 2010, I had hand surgery in August 2011 so I bought a #45 -Buffalo off of a fellow tradganger. This past week I bought a set of #60 limbs off of another tradganger. This guy has hit my bow budget pretty hard in the last 2 years. Not sure about this Michelle chick either as there is a lot of Muzzy broadheads laying around my shop.  On a serious note I think Fred and Michelle are great people I cant wait till I can afford to go to full draw for a hunt.

I'm kinda in the same boat as Sticks & Strings... Don't pay to much attention to the "Face" of adds, to many "Smiling Chucks" I guess that blindly push a product for the $'s...  But, with the great compliments of folks here that I trust like a brother definately put Fred on my radar.  If given the chance I'll go out of my way to meet him and maybe shoot a few with him if given the chance.

Fred is the most entertaining speaker I've heard in the Trad Realms.....lots of funny stuff.  Its been a while...maybe 8 years or so.  I bet he's got a lot more stories now.

Fred is a fine representation of trad bowhunting.

Never had the chance to meet Fred but love what he stands for. Seems like a down to earth guy.

Fred is definitely one of my favorites.  The only one I will watch on main stream tv

I just watched the video where he shoots his big Alaskan moose. To see his reaction how could you not love this guy   :)

I am a huge fan of Fred. I would love to meet him and go on a hunt with him. I would also love to shoot a round of 3D with him and his family. I'll bet that would be a heap of fun.

I saw on a recent episode of his show, "Easton's Bowhunting TV", where he and a friend of his each killed a brown bear with their trad bows while hunting in Alaska. Awesome show!
