I'm still waiting for more info, but I've been told through the grapevine that a mentor and coach for many of us, whether in person or virtually, that Mr. Arne Moe passed this morning. A wealth of archery knowledge, and he loved nothing more than to share and teach what he knew. The archery world as a whole lost a good one today.

What a loss. His youtube videos are priceless. RIP Arne

Always loved his low keyed approach to his videos frequently stating "I'm not a target archer just love teaching archery".

So sorry to hear that.

Dang. I hate to hear that. Prayers for the family. RIP Arne.

Sorry to hear this, really enjoyed his videos.

Seemed like a very nice man, willing to share his knowledge. Sorry to hear of his passing.

Sad to hear, condolences to family and friends

I watched a BUNCH of his videos and read many of his comments giving advice to archers. The way my shooting has gotten as of late, I need to go rewatch and read it all again. He will be missed!

Condolences to family & friends.

RIP Arne,

So sad to hear. I watched all of his videos. It seems like he done all of his coaching for free. I had no idea he had any kind of health problem. >>>----> Ken

My condolences.

Sad to hear. I have enjoyed watching and rewatching his YouTube videos many times. He had an easygoing way of teaching. Prayers for his family and friends.

Bummer!Man was he consitant with his shooting time after time after time.

Rest in peace Moe.

Such a nice man .

Many archers the world over are enjoying the sport all the more because of Arne’s teaching and willingness to help anyone who asked .

That’s one heck of a legacy

I just saw that on the local archery page here in Grand Rapids, Mn. RIP Arne and God speed!

RIP

So sorry. May his memory be eternal. George

God Bless RIP.

We've lost another. Thoughts and prayers.

He helped many through his videos. Was generous when offering help online. I enjoy archery more partly because of him. RIP.

I never met Arne, but when I was laid up with an injury a few years ago and off work for a couple weeks,I watched some of his videos and it definitely helped me with the consistency of my shooting. Rest in Peace, sir!

Sad to hear that, prayers for the family.

So sad to hear. R.I.P.

I was afraid this was what I'd read when seeing the title of this thread. Like many I enjoyed his videos and posts. 2 bears, "seems like he done all his coaching for free." Isn't it relieving knowing there are still folks that give back to what may have been a lifetime of enjoyment for them. Prayers for loved ones he left behind.

This is very sad news.

Such a great guy, prayers for his family.

RIP !

I was fortunate enough to have Arne within a few hours drive. I took my oldest up to shoot with him a few times and also received my Level 1 & 2 coaching certification from "Coach Moe". His presence will be sorely missed in his community as well as the archery world.

Sad news rip ????

Sorry to hear that. R.I.P.

Lost a generous man with a wealth of knowledge to provide to anyone. Prayers up!

Prayers for family and friends

What a bummer when I keep reading threads like this. Seems like this is happening all to often. We are losing more and more good archers and people. RIP Arnie Moe and prayers for all of the family and friends.

I usually don't comment on threads like this but I felt I knew him from his videos and teaching. So sorry to see him go.

Truly a generous soul, great coach, and humble gentleman. The archery community has lost one of its best.

Sorry to hear it. Saw a video or two of him online coaching, seemed like he really knew his stuff and how to teach others. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. Prayers up for Arnie!

RIP my Friend

What a loss! I took some lessons from Arnie, years ago. When I asked how long he could work with me he said as long as you want. When I asked how much I owe him at the end our day, he said “nothing”. We lost a real gem in this man.

RIP ARNIE.

A great man. I have taken lessons from him right there in his home club in Minnesota. RIP my friend.

Prayers for his family and rest well .

Great ones are never with us long enough

Sad news.

Sad news.

Total loss for words. He posted a week or so back that he was doing better. We lost a good one with his passing.

Rest in Peace, Mr.Moe

I regret that I did not have the benefits of his excellent teaching when I got into archery many decades ago.

Very sad news...condolences to his family.

Sad to hear. I've watched a couple of his videos...a real gentleman and ambassador of this sport. My condolences to his family and friends.

UpNorth, Thank you for sharing this sad news.

Arnie’s YouTube videos on rotational draw clued me into a drawing style that has added years to my Shooting/shoulder life!

Stunned, had talked with him this past September,as mentioned a real gentleman.

glad that I did and received some sage advice as only Arne could present it. He touched many and will be missed by all those who had contact with him in one way or another.

Healing and condolences to Arne's family.

This is very sad news. Like many here, I had several wonderful online conversations with Arne, always helpful, always insightful and always polite and courteous. A gentle man in the true sense of the word

A black arrow will be shot in his memory on Dec 10th

Prayers for the family.

He was my personal coach for a long time. He took me from a OK archer to a National championship.

Amazing man, would not take money for teaching. I tried to sneak a $20 bill in his bow case. It showed back up in my mailbox!

We lost one of the good ones for sure.

Arrowchucker

My sincerest condolences to his family, and all who knew him.

Prayers sent to his family. I hope to meet him in Heaven one day.

Big ambassador of archery!! Definitely a wealth of knowledge given too so many individuals without expecting anything back. Prayer's once again for the family!!

I always enjoyed his post here and on tradgang . He will be missed ...

Sorry to hear that God Bless

So sad to hear. He was amazing.

Sorry for his passing. Loved his vids.

Arne E. Moe, age 75, of Grand Rapids, MN and formerly of Fairbanks, Alaska died on Tuesday, November 8, 2022.

Born in Sioux Rapids, Iowa on November 19, 1946, Arne was the son of Margaret and Elmer Moe. At a young age he moved with his family to South Dakota, were he graduated from Washington High School in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Arne received his bachelor’s degree in Education from St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. He became a math and physics teacher in Alexandria and Dell Rapids, South Dakota. He joined the South Dakota Air National Guard Fighter Wing at Joe Foss Field where he flew F100s, the first fighter plane capable of supersonic speed. He was a member of the Super Saber Society, a society for former F- 100 pilots. Arne later moved to the Salt Lake City area and taught at Alta High School establishing the computer department at the school. While in Utah, he joined the Utah Air Guard Refueling Wing at Hill Airforce Base flying the KC-135. He then moved to North Pole, Alaska to be part of the new Refueling Wing at Eielson AFB; he ended his career as the Wing Commander. During his 36 years of service he flew Air Force aircraft around the world, refueled Air Force One, and traveled to the US Pentagon several times presenting ideas for Guard Units.

Upon his retirement as Colonel in the US Air Force he moved to Grand Rapids, Minnesota. While in Grand Rapids, his passion for archery became a prominent part of his life. He studied with Byron Ferguson, Bob Lee, and Kisik Lee and achieved a level 4 NTS Coach Certification. His passion for coaching archery was evident with all the students he worked with, both young and adult, and it once took him to Colorado Springs, Colorado to work with Junior Olympic archers. Arne loved to throw darts, woodworking, was an accomplished bridge player, and also enjoyed riding his motorcycle.

He will be deeply missed by his sister, Maxine Moe, and other relatives and friends.

Arne was preceded in death by his parents and brother, David Idso Moe.

A Celebration of Life is being planned at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to the Arne Moe Archery Memorial Fund which will be in care of the Grand Rapids Area Community Foundation.

Sad to lose such a good man. I benefited greatly from his videos. Thanks for everyone posting what they experienced or knew about Arnie. Seems like he had a very rewarding life filled with purpose, generosity, fun, and helping others. What more could anyone ask for?
