Title: Remembering Ed Schlief ( ABS founder)
Post by: joebuck on July 11, 2017, 09:57:00 AM
Ran across an old photo of Ed he sent me. At one time he had the halibut world record. That fish was worth $140,000 if he had bought a rodeo ticket!!.. Ed was a special guy. A trained paramedic by trade but his first love was marketing bowhunting products that worked. I miss our talks and hunts together. He would say " Joe!!, what think about this?" " let me send you a couple or dozen and shoot some hogs and deer with em'"  I could type on ...on... we all have friends like him. he was. "that guy for me"

Sharing that camp with Ed was a special treat I'll always remember. So glad we got to do that!

423 #'s .... That's a lot of fish and chips, or at todays price of Halibut at $19.95/lb thats about $8439 worth without a Rodeo ticket

It's always wonderful to see snippets of archery history like this, we tend to be in the now and forget about how we got here .....
