I missed Fred's birthday. He turned 80 on March 3rd. How about showing us some of Fred's bows if you have one? Anyway, Happy Birthday Fred!

That Mojo was Fred's personal hunting bow, called 'Rattler'--46# draw and 62" long; cocobolo and yew.
And here's a FASCO Sonic that Fred said he shaped the grip on--it really feels great in the hand.

You'd like more than that about it, Joe--it's a 57" bow, and a little speed demon to boot; but without any unnecessary flash to it.

Ron, here's another picture of Fred at a longbow event in Michigan in 1986. Do you recognize the shady character he's talking to, who happens to be shooting one of Fred's bows? He makes a mean arrow...and he remembers shooting against you, at a target across a pond there.

Here's a pic of Steve Gorr with Fred and his nice pronghorn from last season.
We are indeed fortunate here in the Northwest to have those great ambassadors of archery among us. BTW, I believe Steve Gorr has a birthday in just a few days as well.

Had the privilege of holding and shooting one of MISTER Anderson's works of art. Then the bow's stingy owner finally wrestled it out of my grubby hands.
I doubt that I'll ever experience such perfection again.

Several years ago at Denton Hill, my buddy Roger invited Fred and Steve to come over to our camp site one evening for the annual fish fry that Roger always liked to do one night at Denton. I can assure that it was one unforgettable evening. Those two are great guys. Steve got to telling stories that kept us in stitches. They are both great ambassadors for our sport.

There's another oldster here who will be 81 on March 21st. I was telling him he and Skookum are from the old school of men who didn't grow up to be crybabies. We have all these 50 to 70 year old crybabies around here who could learn a thing or two from the old guys. I think Fred's shooting that nice arrow off the bridge was the right thing to do, given the circumstances.
