Who else would like to read Ron La Clair's Autobiography?

[northener]

Yup, From what I have seen, Ron has his feet planted firmly on the ground, would be an interesting read. I too would love to share a campfire with this man.

[Stump Buster]

Sign me up for a copy of the completed book!!!

[smokin feathers]

I would sit and read it non stop in one sitting!

[Zenzele]

I would, interesting guy for sure!

Ron doesn't know me from Adam, but he's been a bad, bad influence on me since the early 80s.

I was shooting 110 pound compound bows back then, and happened to walk through a Doctor's lounge in the hospital I was working at when something caught my eye on the table.

Seems there were three issues of a magazine called THE LONGBOW SHOOTER'S DIGEST laying there. I'd never heard of such a thing. . . A longbow magazine. What'll they think of next?

Well, I picked up one of the issues, thumbed through the pages, and saw an article about some guy named Ron winning the national longbow championship with a 100-pound longbow.

"Well heck, I could do THAT" I said to myself as I carried away all three issues laying on the table, and thus began my long descent into total longbow addiction.

That was almost 30 years ago, and I still catch a lot of guff from guys because I hunt with heavy longbows. Well it's all Ron's fault, every bit of it, and if he doesn't write a book that will finally set me straight, I may be tempted to sue!

Heck, if it weren't for Ron and that photo in THE LONGBOW SHOOTER'S DIGEST, I would still be happily shooting 110-pound compound bows and be a lot saner!

Write the book man, write the book!

Elksong, WOW...how'd you dig up this old thread?

I'd forgotten about it and frankly I've been pretty lax on working on the "book". Thanks to it coming back to my attention and all of the encouraging things said, I've started typing on it again. I pledge to set aside some time to work on it a little every day if possible until it's done. It's  fun reliving all of those times again. Nancy was reading over my shoulder this morning and said that she thought I was going into too much detail. I could could get it done faster if I just skimmed over but I gotta tell it like it was...  

Thanks all for the kind comments and encouragement...

Count me in!! I would love to read about the "Shining Times" of  Ron LaClair.        

I love detail, thats how I learn best, makes a better picture in my "minds eye" as I read.

Raven >>>>------->

PS Love the throwing knives I ordered from ya! I will have to send a pic or two of the beer bottle cap I hit at a two spin distance.  :eek:    

[Elksong]

Ron,  Just keeping an eye on one of the all time coolest men still planted on TOP of the dirt!  

[wtpops]

Tell it like it was.


This is going to be a good read.

[JMartin]

Yep......be a good read!

[NW Jamie]

Ron,
I look forward to your writing and hope that not only is the bow a big part of it, but also would like to hear about some of the flinklock experiences to.

[ka]

Sounds like a good excuse for Ron to exercise another of his talents(writing). Count me in !!

[ken allaman]

[Tim Fishell]

Wow Ron looks like you better get busy.  These guys are relentless.  And I would definatly be interested in reading your book!!    

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Let me know when you get to the part where I banged on the gate with the sledge hammer!

[NoCams]

I can think of no finer present for Mason when it comes off the presses..... Get to dippin the quill in the ink well Ron ! It will of course need to be a signed copy as well. Sure wish we could come up to Compton and visit with ya on your turf. Hug "Redbird" for us !
