Being in a great sport & starting my 48th year of Bowhunting Biggame I feel I have tried to give my entire archery career.
Back in the 60s & 70s I was President, Vice president, secretary & about any other office at one time or another in the local archery club. I was Northern Rep. for the state Bowhunting Division & also a rep. for the state target Division (at different times). I was the originator of the Archery Corner column in a state wide sports paper. I owned & operated 2 Archery Pro shop & lanes for over 15 years & in that time have no idea how many people I introduced & taught to shoot a bow & arrow. I was always active at the local & state level & sponsored a couple archers in big pro/am tournys. I was instrumental in having the Black Bear in Mn. removed from varmit to game animal & also in helping swing the ruling of number of Bucks that could be harvested in a year in Illinois. I have always tried to conduct myself as a professional & never to convey anything negative about our sport whether it be another archer/bowhunter or a person not in tune with my sport. I think ALL the shooting/hunting sports have their place & we are all one. I currently make informational videos (since 1990) & try to pass on what I have been taught by many over the years to those who may want to try & expand their Bowhunting. I have been blessed to have met & known many archers/bowhunters over the years-some are famous by our standards & others are like me-We just love the sport & what it has given us. Family & our creator of course is 1st & Archey/Bowhunting is the rest.
If you give just a little it will come back 10 times greater..Enjoy.
