ABOUT THE BOWYER

---

I started shooting bows as a young boy of about 10. My father bought me a red fiberglass recurve and a few arrows - ecpecting me to loose them pretty quickly. I wandered the hills of southern Illinois "hunting" ground squirrels and rabbits. There was not much game in llinois back then but I had a great time shooting my bow.

My love for the bow took a hiatus of many years while I hunted with a rifle or handgun. I eventually came back to the bow and the old excitement returned. I Did not come home with game often - still don't. But I am always happy to be in the great outdoors. I also have a great time shooting 3D tournaments. I enjoy the comaraderie and competition.

I started out making self bows and after making a few decided to try laminated longbows. After one, I was hooked, I am now working off of my fifth bow form and continue to look for ways to improve them. Laminated longbows are about 1/2 the work of a self bow and I like the higher performance.

A big thank you to several full-time bowyer friends, helping along the way. They've given me great advice and answered many questions. To them I'm very grateful and appreciate them sharing their bow making knowledge and great experiences.
