The pope and young club was one of the main reasons we get to hunt with a bow and arrow today. This record keeping society was proof that archery was an effective way to harvest large game animals. Glenn St. Charles was it's founder. He needs to be added to the "Legends and pioneers."
I read a piece on him about that recently, on-line. I think it was through the archery history site- they sub'link you to the hall of fame.
I don't disagree, I think the word from the mods is they don't leave anyone of the greats out on purpose, its just a matter of having information/ literature on hand to showcase in the Legends section..some of these folks just not that much stuff is compiled yet and you can't expect the mods to necessarily take on a project like that...
"Bows on the little delta" has enough info alone.
I have IMMENSE respect for Glenn St Charles.

Sean,
If you or someone would write up a short biographical article about Glenn, I bet Terry Green would not be opposed in adding him to the "legends" forum.
Good luck...and a lot of us appreciate your effort.
Maybe TBW already has something put together by someone who knew him better than us youngens
here's a link that sums up his archery's life works.

Being the founder of the Pope and Young club should be enough to add him to the Legends and Pioneers. It gave bowhunters credibility. He also wrote 2 books and filmed archery hunting with Fred Bear in Alaska for Alaska Airlines. He was a bowyer and a Hall of Fame Inductee.
That's an excellent link that sums it up pretty well.
BTW, is that a '57 Bear Kodiak recurve that Glenn is holding in that pic with the cat?
