My dad got me to shooting when i was 5 or 6 with a old bow that some give him for me . Then about 76 -77 my dad give a bear bow 45 lb and I have not look back . I done the same with my 3 boys and only one shoot and hunts with me.

I saw Barry Wensel shoot a recurve in Bowhunting October Whitetails......I bought a Wing Redwing Hunter soon after and shot a black bear in NY the 1st time out with it....I was hooked !

My father bought me a Fred Bear, red fiberglass longbow when I was.....maybe, 6 or 7. Mainly because I kept sneaking into his bedroom to grab his pristine Browning Nomad. I roved over hill and dale with that little bear plucking that string, and trying to act like a hunter. Those are some of my fondest memories. It gave me traditional roots that I eagerly returned to some years later. Thanks dad!
