Cody, Great "find" in your stuff. Cool pic in a trench coat with his bow & arrow/broadhead combo. Any way to get a pic that is close enough to read the article??? What does it say about Fred?

Coming rigth up..

Great stuff Cody! Thanks for posting it.   Greg

Fantastic Cody!

Guys, Do any of you know what bow Al had that was Bill's.. Because I am thinking that the bow that Al was showing me was Bill's work out bow which was also a #100 I wonder if that is the same bow that Al that is in the article?......

Any help would be great,


Cody

Cody - Nice article about Negley, thanks for posting it.

Negley's 102# bow was in the Bear Museum in Florida the last time I saw it.

Fred made 5 bows for Negley to work up in weight while in training over several months, if I remember the weights correctly they were 73#, 78#, 90#, 96#, 102#. Negley broke the 78# right after the 90# arrived.  

When I was at Al's home, he showed me one of Negley's bows, can't remember which one it was for sure, it had to be either the 73#, 90# or 98#.

I have the 100# identical twin to Negley's 102#, but mine was not made as one of Negley's bows and does not have Fred's inscription to Negley on it.

Thanks Wade, Could you post some photo's of your #100 bow if you get the time..

Also dose any of know the year this may have been.. As what model bow Bill was useing that Bear made for him...


Cody

Negley's bow is a 1957 Kodiak Wedge Sight Window... truly a RARE BEAR...

Very cool, Cody.

Fellows, Bill actually did clean-miss one elephant on a later hunt, at ten yards range!

Man I would not want to miss the and have the elephant come after me..LOL.....

But Also Bill didn't take a guy with a back up gun which would not go over well these days..


Cody

Cool stuff  

Those were the day's. Awesome stuff !
