I had a buddy that moved to Arizona about 25 years ago. He hated it after about 5 , but stuck it out for the rest. About two years ago he moved back to Wisconsin.
Then, last week I got a E Mail from him telling me he`ll be moving to IOWA in a couple of months to be close to his Grand Kids.
I had recently purchased a WING - Swift Wing from a guy in IOWA. I mentioned that to him, and he said , "I didn`t know you liked archery"?
Then he went on to tell me that when he was a kid his Dad was president of the West Allis Bowmen, and he knew Fred Bear! :eek:
In fact, when he was a kid, Fred Bear actually gave him one of his new bows personally! :eek:
He said, after he got married, he sold that bow for $25 bucks! :knothead:
He also met Larry Whiffen when he was younger too, because his Dad was friends with him!

Nice story. Sounds like you guys need to get together and do some hunting....in Iowa of course.

He contacted me, and said he`s moving from Wisconsin to Iowa in a couple of months.
But, he said he`d like to get together and shoot a few arrows before he goes.
He said he hasn`t held a bow in almost 50 years!
As soon as the weather warms up , I`ll give him a call !
