shooting bows and arrows of one type or another for over 75 years. He started with a hickory self bow at

of his own design and building, and a number of self-built compounds before forsaking bow building to concentrate on technical
writing and consulting in the archery field. He began testing and reporting on bows and other archery products
in the early 1970s and continues this effort presently.
