At a local club shoot today, I shot with a young man that I had helped with learning to shoot traditional.. sold him one of my longbows, as well. He is turning into a great traditional archer. Not just in being a good shot, but being a good man. He spoke with me about how much he enjoys traditional archery and that he is trying to help other begining traditional archers like I helped him.. I guess that's what it's all about.. Passing on the legacy and love of the bow to the next generation of young men and women archers. Howard Hill, Ben Pearson, Fred Bear, Bryan, and the rest of the the great archers are focal points for all of us to admire, but there also the greatness we can all aspire to in passing the torch of traditional archery to the upcoming young archers of tomorrow.
