I am impressed by his museum section at Bass Pro, and I'm reading a book about him.

As a kid I worshipped him, he was a frequent contributor to Field and Stream and was instrumental in getting archery into the hunting world. He set many first in archery and was a true pioneer of the sport in every sense of the word. He caught a lot of flack from gun hunters becuase they felt that hunting with bow and arrow was inhumane and should be outlawed. My very first "real" bow was a 40lb recurve made by his company. Got many a rabbit with it as a kid, but didn't use it for deer.

He is the reason I became a hunter. Nobody in my family hunted, but I hapened to pick up his book back in the 70s, when I was around 10. After reading it I knew it was something I had to do. I got my first bow immediately (a little Bear) and began hunting squirrels and rabbits, Then got a bigger bow and began hunting deer. I didn't start hunting with a rifle until I was in my mid twenties. Now I do both.

I read several books on him back in college, when I started shooting bow. I still have my Bear Grizzly re-curve. He was a great bow hunter and all around outdoorsman.

A very kind and friendly person that was an inspiration to almost all in the world of archery!
I am glad to have met him once before he passed his words will stay with me forever!

Great person....the biggest problem with that short description is that, even though most bow hunters will agree with it, they *very* seldom try to emulate him or that description in any way.
If he were around today, I tend to think he would give up on bowhunting out of sheer disgust.
Just my opinion, but since it's mine, it's worth more than anyone else's (lol)

Great bow hunter, great bow manufacturer and a great self promoter. Last report was that he is still dead.
