Just some old pics I thought you all might get a kick out of.
American Indoor Archery Championship At cobo Hall, 1970.



Shooting the Golden Eagle, 1972, I gained a few pounds in those 2 years.



A 30 yard robbin hood. Thats a Carroll Bow and it was a shooter, well till it broke in half (right in the handle) and hit me on top of the head!



My cousin Keith on the left, him and his sonmanaged to claim aNFAA title. He used to get right up the crack of my butt hoping I would drop an X, even if no one else was in the range.

TFOX, this was at Pleasant Valley Archey Club down your way around 1983 or 4.

The Wife the first time she ever shot a compound. Shot 4 25's in a row, I asked her if she could do it again if I put up a fresh target and she said sure, and there it is.



Did not take her long to win the Womens Western Kentucky Bowhunter Championship.



Tracy Haifley,another State and NFAA Champion from our little club out in the middle of no where.



Joey Vaughn on the left, He also managed to scroung up a Vegas and several other state and national titles over the years. These days Joey is the owner of Stone Mountain Dokata Bowstrings. My oldest Son Johnny on the right with his special made bow Carroll Archery put together for him, notice the recessed riser. He shot overall high score for all classes at the Western Kentucky Bowhunter Championship with that thing, Also a state champ. He is 34 now.



And then theres RuttNutt (Zeb) and his first day with a new bow. He was hard to catch to give a haircut to back then, 16 years ago.

Great stuff,was the picture of your son and Joey Vaughn at Pleasant Valley also? Looks like it.

They don't have the straw anymore.Thay have a little better back stop now.


Was Bob Ross shooting there with you back then?He had a wooden leg and would walk every course and refused to compete in the handicap classes.He was also an old string walker.


He kinda got me into shooting.
