What famous or non-famous, Past or present traditional hunter would you like to meet & why?


I have a few tradders I'd like to meet but for starters I'll say Mike Mecredy @ Maddog. Because for one he's in the process of making me a pink custom recurve and for two I would like to talk to him about how he actually started making bows. That's an art like no other to me. The workmanship & time it must take to make just one is amazing to me.

I can personally vouch that Bob Barnes is a good person to meet and get to know.

I'd be willing to bet that Buddy Bell would fall into the same category.

Jim Dougherty.  Back in the day I couldn't wait for the next Bow and Arrow mag to show up at the drugstore.  I truly admire his writting style.
