Dad made me sit in at Dan Fitgerald seminar!

Had to watch a seminar at Outdoorama. I now know I hate the man (D F). Worst thing I ever watched. Every shot he took was a bad angle, and the arrow didn't penatrate halfway. He stood in the way the whole time. He was stupid. Aggghhhh!
Sorry, just venting.
NEWSFLASH!
My tuck is getting it's front suspension rebuilt, and my dad said if he wouldn't have had to pay for that, he would have bought me a longbow! Another AGGGGRRRRRHHHHH! Stupid truck!

P.S. Dad didn't like him either, so we both left.

I kinda am mixed with Dan...he definatly is a different breed but he does pull it off. Like that running super long shot on the bou. I do like some of his vid's though and I havent met him so I really cant say anything bad or good.....just my .02

Sorry on the truck...new bow, new truck...hmm do you have to ask <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>!

I think I'd like to see this guy so I can form some type of opinion. It don't matter how good a shot someone is, if they're exibiting to the public, espcially to young potential bowhunters, they need to teach it all. Not just the accurate shooting.

The guy is a little like Ted Nugent. Sometimes too much to take!

I saw him do a seminar several years ago & wasn't impressed by his wit or even baffled by his BS. His "shooting a compound instinctively" demonstration on a Mckenzie deer target was considerably less impressive. Glad ya didn't have to sit thru the whole ordeal Tox.

Thats why I avoid those places. Kalamazoo and the several big events such as the GLLI more than make up for what I am missing. I do all my one stop shopping at trad archery gatherings to save on shipping.

Who by the way is Dan Fitgerald?

Pro-Line · 02-28-2002, 08:42 PM

ChessBum...He's a video hunter. He's done some good videos, but he does/says some questionable things in my opinion.

He made 2 videos that I can remember. One was "Passing Through" on pass-through shots. Another was "Down for the Count" on spine shots.

One thing I did like was that he wasn't a "trophy" hunter. He hunted deer. I don't mind trophy hunters...but it's not for me.
