The Wensels are my greatest hunting heroes. As a teen in the 80s, working at my step-brothers huntin/fishin store there simply weren't any bigger legends than those 2 guys, especially if you were/are bowhunting nuts like we were.
I really enjoyed all their books and especially the tales of Barry and Paul Schafer. (Schafer must've been an "un-Godly" amazing man to hear everyone talk about his shooting and physical abilities!)
Barry is why I bought a Martin takedown recurve and hunted with it for 2 seasons, taking a 100" 8ptr the 1st year and a 130" P&Y 8ptr the 2nd year. I never got into the wood arrows but the Zwickey broadheads he recommended were/are BAD NEWS! I tried like hell to get them to fly properly from compounds but couldn't (and it cost me a 140"+ 10ptr the year after my 1st P&Y 8ptr.
)
The "mental aspect" of their game was quite a concept if you read that particular book. But who could argue with their success?
