Very sad news

It's being reported on another site that Dal Lowrey of Kansas has passed away after a long struggle with complications from heart surgery last spring.

I know many of you remember him, and his signature sign off:

"Friend of the little man, enemy of none."

Rest in peace, Dal

This is a great loss for the Traditional archery community.

My condolences and prayers for his family.

Here is a picture of Dal at Spearhead Ranch. I never met the man but always enjoyed his posts.

Dal was one of the first traditional archers I every had the pleasure to meet. Shot with him a few times, discussed bows with him a few times also. I went to Spearhead Ranch on his recomendation, it was one of his favorite places.
He will be missed.

I was at the Spearhead ranch the year the picture above was taken - 2005. This was my first chance to meet him. He and his wife Karen are great people.
