RE: Most influential person in archery today
Good Question. It's hard to say mainly because there isn't anyone as recognizable or influencial as in the past, like Fred Bear. But I would say Uncle Ted would be the most infuencial today. Regardless if you like him or not, or think he is good or badfor hunting, he has the most influence (in all aspects) to hunting.
For example, go up to a non-hunter and start giving names of the top 10 infuencial Archery people of today. I'd bet you that the most recognized name is Ted Nugent, over all other "current"influencial hunter namescombined.
