Title: Jay Massey
Post by: estacado on January 14, 2007, 10:27:00 AM
Just finished watching The Real West - Indian Weapons and the Warrior Society on the Biography
Channel. One of the historians/experts was the late Jay Massey. It was nice to see the man which
I have had many hours of solitude with in the form of the 4 books I have of his. I miss his view of hunting and fair chase and most of all his writing. If it airs again, view it and visit
with the man.

Yep, I just watched it as well and was thinking the same thing.

Pretty informative program....

Dang, I missed it!  I was lucky enough to meet Jay back in the fall of 1996 and spend a few hours with him.  He was the "real deal" - an honest, hardworking man with a real talent for archery and hunting.  Please let us know if the episode should air again.  Thanks

Jay Massey got me interested and started in primitive archery through his writings. I have both of his bow building books, The Bowyers Craft and The Book of Primitive Archery, which he signed for me, and even now I use them for referance.
   I would like to see this program. I'm sure it was very interesting.    Pat

Thank you, I hate I missed it. Hope the Bio channel will show it again. I only know him through his writing, I would have loved to see him in person. What a Man !
