What ever became of Dan Bertalan, he seems to have just disappered from the traditional archery community. Just curious. Bob

Hey Bob I was wondering that too. I bet I haven't seen Dan in 10 years...

If you do a search here on TG, there are a few topics about this. Here is one of interest:

...and yes, I kind of liked his writing and his videos, but some folks move on to other interests...and maybe Dan is one of them.

When I see that last name all I think of is Tara. I thought she was the hottest girl around when I was younger. Dan's alright too!

'The shooting better than ever II', is my absolute favorite video. I get it out couple of times a year.. particularly just before bow seasons opening day....

I'll second on Tara deal. I heard he went the Yule Gibbons route. Gnawing on pine tree's and picnic tables!!

His book Traditional Bowyers of America 1989 was one of the Best. I remember rumors of a follow up that obviously never happened. To Bad as it was a very enjoyable read.

I too enjoyed Dan Bertalan's work. All I have to offer is some "old" news but I guess that it may be better than no news.

A friend of mine from Michigan was a friend of Dan's and worked on a few projects with /for him. Dan was working on commercial filming albeit a variety of subjects I believe.

He had cut back on his hunting.
