Default RE: Who taught you archery?

My grandfather. He was half Cherokee and always said he was taught when he was a kid by Geronimo. After the chief was released from prison, he sold pencils and posed for photographs with tourists to make a living and he took my grampa under his wing. Grampa often talked about those days.

Anyway, he got me started when I was just a little tyke with an elm selfbow and willow switch arrows. Started me out with an indian style pinch draw and floating anchor that I used for hunting until I took an archery course in college and was taught how to shoot like a white man. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
