Rhino Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Tink my dad was 3 in 57' I was too. I sure can't see how you got 8 feathers lined up on an arrow Tink. I bet that wasn't easy. BTW...who were the archers hitting half dollars at 60 yards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 That is really cool. We here at RT forums should all feel privileged to have someone like you share such a rich past with is. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 That is pretty cool Tink, never would have thought a dozen arrows would be $30 in the 50's. I was not born until 69, so 1957 was about 12 years before my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Tink, you are getting senile...that article was in November of 1956!:D:D I was three years old and the only thing I remember was that the ice cream man broke the free bridge. (Hurricane Diane 1955) It would be 7 years later when I looked up into the air where a neighbor kid shot an arrow. It came down and hit me right under my right eye... It broke the skin and hurt some. Good thing it was only a kids bow. I remember my mother being furious with the boy and was not too keen on bows and arrows because of that. She got over it a few years later...
