[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4285898, member: 16254"] I was in Forest Park for business 3 months in the spring and summer of 2022. I went to the shop about a year before their closing and auction. I started looking at a couple bows and began talking w Terry. He said no one was interested in bows like that anymore and the Chicagoan's couldn't pull them back anyway. He saw an opportunity as did I and he pulled a few more bows from the back out that were hidden. He was quite surprised as he thought I was picking one of the litter to take but instead I offered a package deal for 7 or 8 bows. I should have got 9 or 10 but it was a chunk of money and I had already purchased 3 or 4 bows from individuals in the Chicago area. I wanted to shoot, listen and check each bow so Terry gave me some arrows and a shooting tab and sent me to the upstairs range that nobody was using. Terry is a nice guy. He didn't charge me for range time or loaner equipment for several days of use. I think he lives in Don's old house with a totem pole in front that I believe Fred Bear gave to Don. You can clear me up on that. Most people don't know the significance of Don and a few others as they played second fiddle to Fred Bear but all members were an important part of that bow council and the development of the [I]Pope and Young Club[/I]. I believe many of these bows were held back by Don possibly for his own collection. All of the bows I purchased were from 1967 to 1973 period in fantastic condition. I hope you like the links and history. I'm impressed with your knowledge of Don and his significance to the archery world. I'm sure you have a few stories to tell about Terry and that Terry told you about Don. Sorry, that is the only lefty I brought back. I sold 3 other Bear bows and a beautiful mint 1967 Wing Falcon that I shot a couple of pigs with before selling. Kinda wish I kept the Wing. Can't keep them all. It's time for others to get a grip on history and something historic. [/QUOTE]
