Dear Roy,
I think back about all the good times we had roaming the woods together hunting rabbits, Hoover hogs and dillers. Our Bear Kodiaks were special back then and I will never forget those days in the woods. We shared some great times like the time we stopped at an archery target on the way to the Yellow Belly Drag Strip. We had to cross the freeway to shoot at the guys big bullseye cause we were doing too much damage to his target. We had to watch for the traffic on the freeway before we shot.... He finally ran us off because of too many holes in his bullseye.....I will never forget the time you hit that swamp rabbit highballing it at 30 yds....amazing shot.....We did a bunch of damage to stumps back then too did we not. Broke a few arrows but we had plenty back then to spare I guess.....Remember the time I shot that diller and he ran into his hole and broke my dang arrow into three pieces? We never hunted big game together and as I look back, I don't think we would have enjoyed it anymore than all the small game we went after......
Remember back in the 50s when we use to wonder why they didn't add a loop on the string or just come up with some kind of release gadget with a trigger? We were thinking well ahead of our time, weren't we?
I wish you were still here Roy, the bows are so much better now with wheels and sights and all kinds of gadgets to make aiming and accuracy so much better...You were a lot more talented with you recurves than I was...I think my form created target panic and I didn't even know I had it. I was proud when you won the Shreveport City Championship back then. I knew you could it, you practiced enough and your spot shooting was something I never figured out.......
All I can say Roy...with tears in my eyes is I wish you were still here, heck, I'd buy you any bow you wanted just to see you still outshoot me.....I miss ya bro! You passed away way too soon!
Sinceerely....
Your brother Dave
