Robertson, Miegs, Asbell, Silvertip(Shafer), Strunk, Brackenbury, Schultz and Dye. Some passed on and some still with us, however these guys all helped carry traditional archery through the lean years with the utmost professionalism and craftsmanship. Thank you for your contribution to the sport Dale. RIP

I got a summer job up in Alaska and was able to come back and order a Trails End "Good Medicine" bow from Dale. His shop was close enough, that I was able to drive down to his shop to place my order in person and visit again for some final fitting in the grip. When I picked up the my finished bow he smiled and razzed me a little, he told me he had just about signed Made for "Pinky" on the riser.

Life, school, and work led to fewer shoots, but I would still see Dale at 3D events a few more times over the years. He seemed to always have a big smile on, was warming and easy to be around. I can picture him with his ball cap and backquiver on at a 3D event. And, i can picture him in his shop showing me my bow and some of the other bow projects he was working on. He will be missed.
Rest In Peace Dale

After he fell and broke his hip I called him about twice a month to chat. All the conversations went the same way. first we complained about our aches and pains, then how we had to shoot lighter weights and then Dale would start telling stories and we ended the conversation laughing. We were on the phone FRIDAY APRIL 24th, talking about turkey hunting. Dale saw good in just about everything. the traditional community lost one of its greatest, and there is a new star in the heavens. Rest in peace Dale.

I had a long distance relationship with him and considered him a friend.
I learned of Dale from Barry Wensel who years ago sent me a picture of his bow that Dale built for him.
Dale built me a magnificent bow with 2 sets of limbs.
I have a great photo of him which I will post after work today.
Rest In Peace Dale
