Hey, just found out that this guy is pretty famous. The Gamegetter's that I have just modified I bought from his shop. And a friend of mine used to shoot arrows with him. I noticed there is a section here for archery legends. Should he have an entry? Kinda neat that I bought my arrows from him.
OH Yeah Rube Powell was quite the bowman.He is in many pics & articles in ARCHERY magazine.
I seem to remember he was from Chula Vista, CA. Back in the day with Roy Hoff.
Rube Powell made some fine hunting arrows and was a big advocate of 4" Four fletch. I'm not sure but he might have been inducted into the California Bowhunters Hall of Fame.
I recently picked up a copy of "The Archer's Magazine", April 1956 issue with a picture of Rube on the front and quite a lengthy article about him. Back in the late 1970's I was fortunate enough to have visited his shop on many occasion. Times I will treasure.
Should also note that Rube Powell was the National Champion in 1951-53-55-56 and in 1973 inducted into the Archery Hall of Fame.
