As far as hunting, not too many. My father and I, my bud Dan (APAJaws) and his dad and Dan's grandfather. That's about it that I actually hunt with........there are a lot of guys at the shop or when I am at a local competitive event that we share quick hunting stories with but they really aren't hunting buddies, more of archery buddies.

Now in terms of the guys at the shop I work/shoot for and the competitive side of things I have a pretty big circle of true friends and a whole lot more friendly aquaintences. I end up at most of the local events here and try my best to get involved with a lot of the social parts of the sport of archery in all venues. Competitive archery is clicky (spell?), the spotties hang with the field archers, but not with the 3D'ers, and the FITA guys hang alone usually, the 3D'ers hang with other 3D'ers and hunters but rarely are acceptedwith the FITA/Field/Indoor guys..........very few people hang out at all venues.I have somehow found a way to participate in all of these andhave met a lot of great people this way and learned a TON. I can honestly say that the best friends I have made in the last 4-5 years have all been in the archery world somehow.
