Vertical Bow Shootin as a younger Man

[Big John]

I have spoke to Mike via PM and informed him that I had no ill intentions.
As well I apologized to him if he felt that way.
If anyone felt that I should have responded different, I'm sorry as well. Please carry on with the thread and hopefully it will garnish a lot of views.

Had that one in my room growing up in the 70"s...GUILTY as charged!!

Pearson did make a nice bow. I had several over the years. Killed my first bow deer with a Pearson Magnum

[vixenmaster]

Looks like you have had the love for archery a long time, Keep on flinging arrows

I have played wid the Bows since 1958 when my Pa made me a Long Bow

That's pretty cool Mike. It's great to look back at things that brought us real enjoyment.

Looks like "archery spam"....lol. I hope you were wearing underwear.

My first dabble in archery was a long bow ....back when I was a teenager ...we didn't have any place that sold archery equipment and if you could find any it was high dollar for these parts so very few I knew had the equipment. Shot a buzzard once and killed it ....lice ate my butt up Lost all my arrows and that was it ...Gave that bow away back during deer season to someone that will use it.

Had the same bow with a over-draw, Pearson was ahead of times and these were super fast then, 25yrs later and the compounds are barely faster, thanks for sharing.

[paulaboutform]

I was going to say late 80's early 90's. I would've guessed the bow was an NCA. Then again, back then all the bows seemed to look the same. That pic brings me back...thanks for that.

I spect back in my days of yore i owned & shot a Compound some prior to my back break down

great old picture mike .i still like to shoot my compound bows when ever i can.ive had no back surgery but some neck problems sometimes hold me back.

Cool old picture Mike!
I had some back injuries a couple years ago, and have come along just fine.
I decided to replace my missing Excalibur with a compound, enjoy that while I can.
Keep em' coming!

I always preferred a stick & string without all those wheels.
Here's a pic of me with a Robertson Stykbow back in the 90s.
A cedar arrow and a Bear Razorhead is the medicine for saber tooth groundhogs.


All the back injuries weren't the reason I switched to a crossbow, bone spurs in my shoulder finally put an end to that fun.

Looks like you were a fine shot Mike! an bet you still are ! I,m sure we all never started out shooting Excaliburs
