I don't know alot about Martin archery history, is Gail Martin still alive?
I had a man who was kind of like an "extra grandpa" when I grew up and he helped me get into bows when I was 14 in 1982. I did some home work and ended up getting information from Dick Mauch that he was with him, Glen St Charles, and Gail Martin on a pronghorn hunt at Dick's place in Nebraska. Dick said for whatever reason Glen didn't mention him in that chapter of his book. I'd like to talk to Gail about the hunt and what he remembers about him. His name was Russ Storm and he made a flemish string making machine that he sold to Bear Archery, (the Storm String Machine) who in turn turned the string business to Cornhusker (Dick Mauch). Aside from the question about Russ, just throwing this all out here in the rare chance someone else might be familiar with Russ Storm as well.

That is fantastic, I'll write him a letter and see what I can get.
I'm kicking myself in the rear so much for not knowing more about Russ now. I had no clue at that young age it would mean so much now...my one little link to the "classic days"!!
