Yep... Tim's an avid bowhunter, and came out to check out the ATA show in Atlanta. I got a call from him that morning letting me know he was at the Bowtech booth, and asking why I wasn't there... (Brand-new job in medical sales, and have to use my vacation for later elk hunts and the whitetail rut.) Matt / PA wasin the process of sendingme a textmessage letting me know that he was standing beside Tim, when he grabbed the phone and just called me. Pretty neat.

I was totall bummed I didn't get to meet him in person then, but he agreed to shoot Bowtech bows on a simple handshake after shooting them at the booth. Other manufacturers threw some big money at him, but he refused to balk at his deal, saying a handshake was just as good as any contract to him. I gained a lot of respect for the man after hearing that... Heck, I'll probably cheer him on even against Randy Couture on March 3rd... and "the Natural" has always been one of my favorites!
