I started in Trad Archry back in 94 when I got out of the Navy. Well being a Michigander, I had called Ron, and had him send me a brochure. I did some research and found out he was the "bee's knees" when it came to Trad Archery. Anyways, was in college and was married with a son so didn't have much money at the time. So I showed my wife a cheaper recurve he was selling as a possible Christmas gift. On Christmas morning, I open my gift, and it's a ambidextrous Shrew...was I shocked. Apparently, Ron had sold the one he was going to send her, so instead he sent her the Shrew. She had told him no worries, but he wanted to make sure I received my gift on Christmas. Top notch individual. I could kick myself in the rear for selling that bow. Thanks again Ron.
