I would put a vote in for the guy, I think his name is Perry, that started the Outdoor Channel. I don't know if he even bowhunts but his channel and all the hunting shows on it, have to be doing some good in raising interest in hunting?
20 years ago you NEVER saw bowhunting on TV.

RE: Most influential person in archery today
Has anyone ever heard of Gary Bogner? This guy ranks right up there in my opinion-from a hunter's stand point. Washington, do a quick search engine on him and see what he's all about. Another guy that comes to mind is a guy by name of Ricardo Longoria (again, search his name). Both of these guys have been there, done that, seen that. Both have definitely helped to lauch archery hunting where it is today. And Let's not forget about Chuck Adams (the former two individuals are more worldly than Chuck). Mr Adams' career here in North America (back in the 80s and 90s) certainly gave young hunters the push they needed to start into this sport.

Nugent is right up there.........he probably has more widespread influence then anyone out there. Most casual and even many serious hunters or archers don't even know who started Mathews or Bowtech or really just don't care. Their names may be at the top of the list for equipement reasons but as far as archery in general the nuge spreads the word like a virus. He has influence on 100 different levels but perhaps most of all he is recognized........be it through TV, Music, Books or whatever.........more people of all ages know his name and face then anyone else in archery that I can think of. I am willing to bet that Nugent DIRECTLY influenced more people to get into hunting and/or archery then all the cam designers combined.
