Title: Selfbow building - 15 minutes of fame!
Post by: Osagetree on January 11, 2011, 07:23:00 PM
A lady I work with has a husband that is a local news reporter. She told him about my bows and he sent a photographer to shoot a story in my shop for the local pre-news show.
He questioned and filmed me for over an hour for a 2 or 3 minute segment to be aired tomorrow between 5:30 and 6:00pm. He took a lot of film for two minutes so I hope he edits out some of the goofy stuff I said.

PatB, "Flip - Flop" from last years BOWYERS BENCH BOW SWAP might get some air time too as I had it in with my bows as we did the interview. By the way, I am hunting with that bow until meat is on the table. Too little time and too little luck so far this season.

If anyone can get WSAZ you might watch the segment tmorrow evening and let me know what you thought.

Add this to my article in "OHIO OUTDOOR NEWS" that I did a couple years ago I am at about the end of my 15 minutes of fame for one lifetime!

I plugged the TRADGANG site a couple of times during the interview but not sure if he can get it in the segment. We'll see?

So Joe, does that give me a minute or so of fame?
Will the TV station have a link to the segment?

a moment in the sun is a moment in the sun. you deserve it joe. any moment to promote traditional archery in any form, is a moment to be proud of. you are one of a handful of people, that i couldnt think of as a better candidate to promote classical archery. ruddy

I talked to Joe on the phone last night and he told me about the news clip and said I might be able to check it out at WSAZ.com and he said it would probably be on there wed.

We'll have to keep an eye out. Nice to know we got a celebrity in the bunch. LOL

Congrats Joe

I tried that search and all I came up with was a story about coal miners.  Did I do something wrong?

Very nice interview, you did yourself and the sport of trad, proud.
Title: Re: Selfbow building - 15 minutes of fame!
Post by: Osagetree on January 13, 2011, 04:08:00 PM
Hey, thanks a bunch gang!

Understand, I was caught off guard and just had to throw some stuff on the bench and vice to try and make it somewhat interesting. Some of the good stuff was not even shown on TV.

Guess that's show biz! It was an experience I wont soon forget.

I truley hope I did the sport of archery well. Didn't really mean to poke at the wheelie bows as I did. But TRAD is a different form of satisfaction as you all know.

Thanks John, I couldn't find the link either until you chimed in. Your computer skills are as good as your bowyery! thanks.......

Joe,

Outstanding segment! Not only does it highlight selfbows but, more importantly it shows a hunter in a good light.

Way to represent Joe!
Nice shop there and great collection of bows!
I really liked the shot where they showed the cane arrows and moved the focus from the fletching to the points as you explained the process. Kudos to the camera man there.

Well done sir!
