Been a member here for some time and have not been active. I'm well known to Bill and Brad and some other members here. A little history:
Where to start? I'm from central Pa--right near Harrisburg. I started shooting compound bows in 1973, shooting a lot of field and indoor target, and of course deer hunting. Long story short (?) I became a staff shooter for XI in 1993 till 1997 when I joined with Golden Eagle. 2000 through 2003 I shot for Pearson/McPherson till my sponsor retired. I was invited to join with Martin Archery in 2004 and was with them through 2015, the last two years on their Pro Staff. At he age of 69 I figured it was time to "let it go and move on".
While with Martin I became a member, then moderator on the Martin Archery Tech Forum, eventually becoming an Administrator for a period of 5 years. Bill and Brad were two of my moderators and good ones. I lost that job in 2014 due to the destruction and eventual shut-down of the forum by the new Martin Owners. Long bitter story there.
I'm not as active at shooting anymore, but have years of knowledge that I wish to share so hope I can be of service to some of you. Be forewarned that I'm a pretty opinionated guy, but also have a sense of humor.
