There are a couple made by prominent old time bowmen.

Isn't it amazing how the history of this sport is just so cool! I can't get enough of this stuff. Thanks so much for sharing this I'm getting on a plane!

WOW how in the world did you find all those wonderful treasures Wade.

Wade Phillips · February 04, 2010, 07:11:00 PM

Joe - All collectors are crazy. Some are even obsessed. It has taken a lifetime to accumulate all of these treasures.

One of the best things about collecting old archery tackle is that there is always something more to discover and something more to learn about the history of these wonderful treasures.

Got the chance to visit this outstanding collection the other weekend and thought I would bring it TTT for anybody who hasn't seen this thread. Was truly an honor to see it Wade. Jeremy

I saw some of Wades collection at the Archery Collectors Show at Cabelas a few years ago. Was very impressed with his friendly demeanor and absolutely amazed at his easily presented history and knowledge of archery. In the past I have been fortunate to see the St Charles Archery Museum at the now closed Northwest Archery Co. shop in Seattle and the Ishi display at the Berkeley Campus but to see this collection up front and personel would be at the top of any archers list. WOW, Thanks for bringing it back!!

What a humbling experience, thankyou.

Cyclic-Rivers · February 03, 2013, 10:16:00 AM

I am speechless. Incredible collection. Makes me not feel so bad for having a couple vintage bows.

Keefer · February 06, 2013, 03:16:00 PM

Wade,
Can I get on your inheritence list? I'm sure we are related somehow and I would really take great care of all that...Very nice collection and you need a special museum for all that to be displayed where all us traditional brothers can enjoy it..Even if you just left each member one piece of your collection I think there will be enougth for all of us to share :D

6feathers · February 06, 2013, 09:15:00 PM

Wade, really nice collection. I spent a lot of time with Floyd and Joannie when they were alive. It's nice to see a lot of the items that were in his collection

Sant-Ravenhill · February 14, 2013, 10:05:00 AM

I too just saw this.....this is the "mountain" of gold at the end of the rainbow if you're a traditional archer and lover of history.

I would love to spend a week or two just looking. Wade, a worthy lifes work.

Thanks for sharing!
