What about Ted Nugent. Before meeting Ted, Ross had no interest in Archery. He turned Ross onto archery and with hisnew interest and hobby he founded Ross Archery. You would not be the archer you are today and have your pic on their websiteif it wasn't for Ted.[8D]

Count Andy Ross as one of many who has been affected by Nugent's message.
Five years ago, he had never bow hunted. Then he joined some friends on a hunting trip to one of Nugent's ranches in Michigan.
The experience, Ross says, was life-changing.
"It was the first time I had hunted with a bow, even though I had been a waterfowl hunter for years, and I really had a good time," he says. "But just meeting and spending some time with Ted was what made it memorable.
"I was impressed with him from the start. He was the hardest-working guy in camp. He did everything from hanging the tree stands to washing the dishes.
"He didn't want the celebrity treatment."
Ross, who lives in Overland Park, and Nugent hit it off, and they soon began hunting together. And as they did, Ross' interest in bow hunting soared.
Today, Ross is president and CEO of Ross Archery in Grandview, Mo., one of the industry's top hunting-bow manufacturers.
