			Bio: I have been archery hunting for 26 years, harvesting numerous whitetail, mulies, antelope, turkeys and elk. I scout arduously and hunt 50-60 days a year. I apply for multiple states including South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Utah and Arizona having been successful in not only drawing but harvesting animals in all but Utah and Arizona. I am patiently waiting to draw the limited entries in those states. I became a prostaff shooter for Bowtech in 2009 continuing in that capacity again in 2010. I currently sit on the board of directors for the South Dakota Bowhunters. I am a bowhunter educator for the state of South Dakota. My hunting season for 2009 produced two Pope and Young anmals. Montana elk and South Dakota nontypical whitetail net scoring 193 2/8 grossing 201 1/8 placing it number six all time archery in the state of South Dakota. I also harvested a turkey during spring hunt and antelope. All animals were taken with arrows tipped with a Wac'em Broadhead.

			Web Site:

			Bio: I began hunting with a shotgun and chasing birds through the NH woods, then took a job in northern Maine at a conservation camp 4 yrs ago. I was the Program Director there and my good friend Charlie convinced me to pick up a bow. That summer started an addiction that has led me to different states to hunt and sparked a drive in me to introduce as many young people to the sport of bow hunting that I can. I am fortunate that my family is supportive and that the high school I work for has allowed me to start an archery team focusing on hunting and 3D. My summer job now is supervising the archery area at a very large summer camp and running daily nature adventures. I am proud that I brought 7 kids to IBO Worlds last year and have organized the first 3D shoot for our summer camp against peer summer camps. I have been blessed to have great mentors and supportive people around me.

			Web Site:

			Bio: Married to my beautiful wife Cathy, and have two awesome boys Ethan 4 and Noah 2 Just like a lot of kids born in the Heartland, I started hunting Big Game at an early age, that age was 10 years old for me. I am a hunter first and a bow-hunter second. To expound on that last statement; I bow-hunt 95% of the time, however I would not turn down a great rifle hunt. I have been fortunate to have hunted many species of Big Game; from the small elusive coues deer to the magnificent Alaska Brown Bear. Each and every hunt is a personal challenge to me where I constantly raise the self-imposed benchmark. Superior products like Wac’em broadheads are a must have in my quest to be more successful with each season. Now if only they could take out the human error.

			Name: Michael Schirer
			State: New Mexico
			Bow:
			Web Site:

			Bio: I started bowhunting when I was in college in 1981. For two years I used compounds, aluminum arrows, and bear razorheads. Then I spent about 16 years shooting traditional archery, using both wood arrows and aluminum arrows with either bear razorhead broadheads or zwickey broadheads. Then, in about 1998 I started shooting compounds again (Hoyt). I went to Easton ACC arrows. And I’ve been shooting NAP Spitfire broadheads. I try to do as many hunts as I can each year, including antelope, mule deer (when I can get a tag), elk, and whitetails. This year I plan on doing a Canadian Bear hunt in June, Wyoming Antelope in August, Colorado Antelope in August/September, Colorado Mule Deer in September, NM elk in September, KS whitetails in November, and a Mule Deer in either NM or AZ (with a little luck in drawing a tag).

I have been hunting for 19 years and have taken many trophies (elk, whitetail deer, mule deer, antelope and turkey) with archery equipment. My grandpa taught me to shoot a bow when I was 10 years old. He started my love for the outdoors and hunting, which I hope to pass on to my own kids. I have had the opportunity to hunt Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas. I have served as President and Vice-President of the local archery club. I am currently sponsored by Martin Archery through our local archery shop. I enjoy not only hunting, but competing in indoor competitions and outdoor 3-D shoots in Wyoming and Colorado.

			Bio: My name is Cody Burns; I am 34 years old and have been hunting for 22 years. I am married and am the proud father of two kids that love to spend time in the outdoors with me. I love to hunt and if I can I hunt it with a bow. Whether its jack rabbits, coyotes, big bucks or bulls it’s just more of a thrill to hunt them with archery tackle. If I had to pick a favorite animal to chase it would be a big ol’ muley buck and I have been fortunate enough to harvest a number of deer and elk with archery gear. To say I am passionate about bowhunting is an understatement; it is a year around commitment! I spend allot of time shooting in 3d shoots, scouting, researching out of state hunts, staying in shaped for the hunts and helping others get into the great sport of bowhunting. With all this time invested I have to trust the gear that I hunt with and recommend. I trust Wac’em broadheads! They fly straight, spin true, are scary sharp and as super tough.

			Name: Mike Corbet
			State: Wyoming
			Bow:
			Web Site:

			Bio: My name is Mike Corbett. I have been involved in archery since I was a young boy with a recurve. At 14 I got my first hunting bow--it was an XI. I also attended Boy Scouts of America and we would get our merit badges in archery. My love for hunting comes from my father and grandfather. I never got the chance to hunt with either one because my father had multiple sclerosis and when I was eight he couldn't walk anymore. I then looked forward to hunting with grandpa. Two years before I was to turn 14 and able to hunt elk my grandfather passed away. So I had to learn a lot about hunting by myself with the help of others. This took a lot of time and error. Therefore, this is one of the big reasons that I am actively involved with many groups that promote this great sport, so that others can learn more rapidly and with more success in a shorter amount of time than I was able to. I teach the Boy Scouts in our area. I have mentored many young kids, boys and girls to hunt. I have been an active member of High Plains Archery Club for over 15 years and involved in many community programs. I pride myself in being ethical and kind to all. I have guided many people to their first elk, deer, antelope and bear. This is truly a life I love, this sport is me. I am not a big name shooter or a celebrity but I am passionate about what I believe and that is to help those who need it in archery and in life. People respect me and I them. I've lived in the same community for over 25 years and receive hundreds of phone calls and visits by people with questions about products, manufacturers, and the sport of hunting. I also worked in and ran my own pro shop for many years and still service a lot of equipment for those in the community. Being in this sport so long I have seen my share of junk and this broadhead is a dream to shoot in wind, long yardage practice it is simply amazing. I spend on average forty to sixty days in the woods hunting each year and have taken hogs, elk, and bears with Wac'em broadheads.

			Bio: My name is Thad Save and I am 32 years old. I’ve been hunting for 15 years. Hunting has been a big part of my family for as long as I can remember.I hunt in Ohio on private and public land. I’ve been to Illinois hunting for whitetails also. My favorite Hunting spot is the land I lease in Michigan. I have 120 acres of great hunting land that I manage. I’ve harvested many smaller bucks and doe on my leased property. My greatest harvest yet was a 140 inch buck 2 years ago. I’ve been on several hunts in Illinois with no success yet, but future visits planned. Currently at my leased property I am trying to manage the property more than “hunt” it so that in coming seasons I will see better quality deer. My goal is to start making hunting videos to share with everyone else. My wife and two children are very understanding of my passion for hunting. My son is coming of the age to start his hunting and I would like to pass the passion to him. There is nothing better than shed hunting, putting out scouting cameras, and just doing the hunting things every hunter looks forward to do every year.

I have been married for five years to a great woman, Kristi and we have two healthy children that love the outdoors, Isabella and Gavin. I am a chiropractor in my hometown, Waukon and would not want to live anywhere else. I spend my free time, when not hunting, fishing for walleyes on the Mississippi River and trout fishing on the plentiful streams. My family owns a large tract of land and I have the run of it when it comes to bowhunting. I plant a few acres of soybeans, clover/chicory and brassica to help the deer grow big and stay healthy through the hard winter months. I hunt everything; deer, turkeys, small game, predators, pheasants. I have been shooting archery equipment since the age of five, from homemade bows when a child, to recurves and compounds. I currently mainly shoot an Elite Gt500 and love my bow. I also dabble with a Bear recurve and would like to start hunting a bit with traditional equipment. I spend many hours practicing and have become very driven to be a proficient hunter.

			Web Site:

			Bio: My name is Jared Wilding, and I am 39 years old. I have been married for 16 years, I have a beautiful, caring wife and two beautiful daughters who mean everything to me. I began hunting with my father when I was old enough to walk and I have never stopped. We still hunt together whenever we get the chance. I began archery hunting at the age of 14 and have always loved it, always striving to be the best and to learn from every adventure. Hunting has become my passion. I am always looking forward to my next hunting opportunity, to spend time with friends and family enjoying the great outdoors. I am trying to get my girls involved in the sport of hunting and teaching them what it means to be a hunter. I enjoy hunting all types of game. I have been fortunate enough to harvest numerous different animal with my archery equipment; Elk, Deer (whitetail and Mule deer), Antelope, Coyotes, Turkeys along with many other small game species. I typically hunt in Idaho, but have also hunted in Wyoming and small game in Utah. I do not consider myself to be a trophy hunter but I do take pride in being a very ethical hunter. I am currently a member of the Southfork Archery Club, Upper Snake River Bowman and NRA. I am very active in the archery community, competing in numerous 3D and Indoor shooting events throughout the year. When I am not competing in archery shoots, I am usually hunting or thinking about hunting. I have been a member of the Mountain Archery and Stone Mountain (Dakota) Bowstrings shooting staffs for the past 4 years. I have shot Mathews bows for the past 12 years and have not found any other bows that shoot any better for me. Throughout the years I have tried many different types of broadheads some good and some not so good. I have shot Wac’em Broadheads for the past 3 seasons and have found that there accuracy is unmatched. I really enjoy being able to shoot my field points all year for practice and then put on a Wac’em Broadhead and have them both hit in the same place. I have also found that my 100 grain Triton 3 blades are very durable and dependable having never lost an animal with one.

			Bio: I am 43 years old and have passionately loved the sport of hunting since I was 5: i started hunting with a bow when I was 14. i am an avid outdoorsman - hunting, fishing, and trapping. My dad and other family members encouraged and passed along the love of the sport to me, I in-turn am passing it along to my daughters as well as others. i enjoy mentoring inspiring hunters of all ages through NYS and PA Youth Hunts and private hunts.

			Name: Eddy Erautt
			State: Colorado
			Bow:
			Web Site:

			Bio: As long as I can remember, I have always loved spending time in the outdoors and shooting archery with my dad and two brothers. I started fishing avidly when I was younger, but when I got a couple good buddies who wanted to hunt, I shot my first big game animal and it was all over. Hunting has been an obsession since I was young, but once I turned fifteen it became an addiction. To me, there is not a better adrenalin rush than having a bow in your hand, a tag in your pocket, and watching a big game animal inch its way closer for a shot. I have to thank my wonderful wife and two daughters for putting up with all the hunting and yearlong scouting; I know it couldn't be done without their support. When you love the sport as much as I do, there is no end of season. When one season ends, it's time to start scouting for the next, even when it's eight months down the road. I am currently living in Dolores Colorado, in which I consider the heart of the best big game hunting that this country has to offer, a short distance to hunt four different states. I am the co-owner of a custom bowstring business (Piranha Custom Bowstrings) I am aslo a pro staffer for DIYbowhunter.com, I attend multiple 3D shoots a year while also going to every Sportsman show I can, when I am not building strings you can count on me being out in the field in search of my next trophy. All of us as sportsmen need to do all that we can to support what we do and make sure we put back in what we take out. Bow hunters are a dying breed and we are the only ones who can make sure that the tradition lives on, so it is especially important to get the younger generation involved in what we love so much!

			Bio: At the age of 10 I began shooting archery equipment and shortly thereafter I was hooked on the sport of bowhunting for big game. I quickly became successful in harvesting whitetail, mule deer, antelope, turkey, and elk with my archery equipment. I couldn’t get enough of it, and to this day, that hasn’t changed one bit. I am employed full time by the South Dakota National Guard. I am associated with numerous archery clubs and I enjoy helping youngsters and novices alike with getting acquainted with the sport of bowhunting or just archery shooting as a hobby. I take pride in helping someone achieve success in the sport. I enjoy my time that I put forth to support the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, and the National Wild Turkey Federation. I feel that supporting these clubs is a must for today’s changing society and culture. I enjoy writing articles for various magazines. It allows me to relive my experiences and knowledge through written expression. I have written numerous articles for Eastman’s Bowhunting Journal, Eastman’s Hunting Journal and enjoy writing articles for Trophy Hunter Magazine, Bowhunting World, Bowhunter Magazine and Dakota Country Magazine. I also interact on numerous websites and talk forums on the internet to help promote the products that I use. I also video my hunts and have plans to put my footage to use when given the opportunities. I will continue to write articles for these magazines and others into the future as long as the opportunity presents itself. I take extreme pride in sharing my photos, experiences and/or knowledge with sportsmen/women around the world, my goal is to always make the reader feel as if they were there on the hunt themselves. I am very happy and grateful to have obtained the support from PSE Archery, Wac’em Broadheads, Mossy Oak, Montana Decoy, Hips Targets, Nikon Optics, Xtreme Stabilization, Scott Archery, Custom Bow Equipment, and Scorpion Venom Archery Lubricants. I look forward to obtaining other sponsorships and positions while doing all that I can do to help promote their products and services.

I have been shooting Wac’em broadheads since 2005 and once I was convinced of their performance, I was lucky enough to became a Pro Staff member. Wac’em has helped me take down numerous P&Y animals of various species as well as helped me take many turkeys, four of which hold the top four spots in SCI for Merriam’s Archery Non-Typical category.

			Bio: I am a 23 year veteran of the U.S. Army and just returned from deployment. I currently live in Nebraska and have been hunting small game, deer, turkey, antelope since age 13. I didn't get into archery much until 1998. I had been very successful with rifle and shotgun but wanted to challenge myself more. Those first few years of trying to learn form, release aids, my equipment, etc. almost made me give it up. In 2001, I harvested my first whitetail doe with a bow and I was hooked for life! I began trading bows almost every other year (drove my wife crazy) and would test every new gadget that came out every year. Since 2001, I have harvested 24 turkeys, 17 whitetails, 2 mule deer, and 4 antelope from Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, Kansas and South Dakota.

I try to include at least one child that has never had the opportunity to enjoy our sport. I have been hunting now for about 25 years. For the last 4 years it has been exclusively with my Bear bow. I would love the opportunity to be a staff shooter with your company. I have some good opportunities to promote your product. We have the Buckarama in my home town, along with many other events in which I could promote, put on seminars and so forth. I really like the Triton XL 100 grain.The pic I attached is the only one I have at this time. My hard drive crashed and I lost all of my other ones. Along with bow hunting I am an ordained minister.

			Bio: I am an avid bow hunter that enjoys the outdoors and hunting with my family and friends. I am a college archery instructor where I focus on more than just shooting. I teach the students proper bow maintenance, differences between equipment and just about everything necessary to be completely comfortable with archery for the rest of their lives. I also teach bow hunter education for the state because I feel it is important to pass on the hunting tradition that I hope my children and grandchildren will enjoy. I am 34 years old and received a PhD. I had options to go back east to teach college, but chose to stay in the northwest because of my lifestyle. My wife is a bow hunter as well and each September we hold our annual elk camp where my family and friends join us. My oldest daughter who is eight years old shoots a bow, my 5 year old boy shoots a bow, my two year old girl can do an elk call and my expected son will likely do all of the above. I travel to different places to hunt. Last year I shot my antelope in Wyoming, and my elk in Idaho. This year I shot a bear in Alaska and have entered in Wyoming and Idaho for hunts and will likely hunt Montana for an elk also assuming I harvest my Idaho elk early enough. I have shot most all the makes of bows and have been sponsored by numerous companies over the years. I prefer wac’em broadheads because of their accuracy. They shoot exactly like my field tips and are extremely sharp out of the package.

			Name: Melvin Wright
			State: Kentucky
			Bow: BowTech
			Web Site:

			Bio: I am a Christian, husband, father, and hunter. I grew up rifle and shotgun hunting whitetails and small game in Kentucky. At age twelve, my older brother introduced me to bow hunting and years later I proudly harvested my first buck, to say that I was hooked on bow hunting would be an understatement. One specific time in the woods I was hunting Squirrel when I heard the loudest racket I could imagine. I counted around 40 Turkeys flying in the Tree Tops above me and I was hooked, Soon after I struggled to teach myself everything I could about hunting, I bought books and videos to learn how to turkey call and watched them until they were worn out. Success was slow and places to hunt were tough to find. I am involved in making my own Wooden Pot, Box, and Diaphragm Turkey calls. Bow hunting and calling Turkeys has become more than a hobby, for me it defines me. Being a team director and member of Predators edge prostaff it has allowed me to share my love for the outdoors with others, creating some of the greatest friendships and taking me to some of the most spectacular places across Kentucky. The true blessing in this is that God has given me a wife two daughters and a son that are fast becoming accomplished hunters themselves to carry on the tradition. Weapon of choice: Bowtech Patriot Ideal weather conditions: Cool with and hazy. Favorite prey: Wild Eastern Turkey. How many days in the field each season: 40-60 days.

I am a Process/Manufacturing Engineer for a small automotive parts supplier. I started hunting Whitetail Deer at a late age of 19. I didn’t grow up in a family of hunters so I developed my passion for whitetails on my own. My love is Bowhunting whitetails in the fall and trying for those crafty long beards in the spring. I have been fortunate too harvest some really nice deer two of which are in the books. If I’m not in the woods hunting I can be found scouting, practicing, or trying to plot out the next season. My children are old enough to start going along with me and I enjoy taking them and trying to teach them the code of hunting. My daughter is bound and determined that she will be in the field with me in the fall after her 10th birthday. God willing I will be enjoying my favorite pastime for many falls to come.

Our operation is a fully guided outfit in Pike Co, IL, which is known for its whitetail hunting. I come in direct contact with several hundred whitetail hunters a year through our whitetail and turkey hunts and feel blessed to be able to work in the outdoor industry every day.

I have shot several 3D tournaments and used to compete in Las Vegas Tropicana shoots. I am also a former member of California bow hunters. I have not hunted big game as hard in the last two years, but this year my oldest son turns 12 so I am coming back full fledge bringing my son into archery hunting. He already has quail and pheasants to his name.

			Bio: My name is Brock Oldenkamp and I live in southern California. I have a love for bow hunting and I’m only 17 years old. My dad got me my first bow at 11 years old. I didn’t start hunting until I was 12 years old but I didn’t kill my first big game animal until I was 16. I love to go hunting and it my lifestyle! I shoot a lot of competition. I love to just get outside and fling some arrows whether it is at a squirrel or a deer or even a foam target I love it all. My older brother got me interested in bow hunting and ever since I’ve flung my first arrow I’ve been hooked! In all my spare time I like to get out and shoot my bow, go fishing, or play a sport. I mostly hunt in California, and I go with my brother to Arizona every year! Hope to someday kill a mule deer that scores 180+ and a elk that scores 380+. I count down the days tell fall cause that’s when I get to chase those elusive mule deer!!!!

			Bio: My name is Nick Styhl I am 37 years old and live in Idaho Falls, ID. My interests include Archery (indoor, outdoor and hunting) along with camping, fishing, ATV’s and everything else outdoor. My sponsors include Mountain Archery, Stone Mountain Bowstrings, Spot-Hogg Archery and Hoyt Bows. I started hunting at about 10 years old and have done so ever since. I took up bow hunting about 15 years ago and have hardly touched a gun since. I hunt Bear and Turkey in the spring when I can but I really hit it hard in the fall for Antelope, Elk and Deer. Whitetail Deer hunting has become my favorite with Elk hunting a close second. I harvested my first Pope and Young Whitetail last year with a Wac’em 85 gr. Triton. I have harvested fifteen Big Game Animals including Elk, Deer and Antelope, all with a bow. Over the last few years I have been very involved competitive archery. I compete at most of our local shoots and some national tournaments including the World Archery Festival in Vegas and the Western Classic Trail Shoot in Redding, CA. I stay busy competing and hunting for most of the year. I’ve been shooting Wac’em broadheads for about 4 years now and have harvested nine animals with them without a loss. I shoot Wac’Em because they’re tough, perform great in the field, and they never let me down.

Since then I have shot several archery tournaments and I have fell in love with bow hunting. I took my first deer with a bow in 2009 in NY with a wac em Pro Staffer Jeff Simmons. My fianceé Justin Updyke and I are going to be filming several hunts this year and Wac Em broadheads were brought to our attention by Jeff Simmons. Jeff has made us both a huge fan of the wac em and we look forward to using them in the years to come. Kansas, North Carolina, Alabama and New York are all destinations for the upcoming year. I currently work for The Roberts Company as the office manager. With a baby due Nov 8th this fall is going to be very exciting…

			Bio: My name is Matt Lawson; I am 30 years old, live in northern Utah and live for Bow hunting big velvet Mule Deer and the Majestic Rocky Mountain Elk. I love and live to hunt. I have Bow Hunted for 17 years now and I got my first bow when I was 12 and it has been my passion ever since. The most important part of my life is my incredible wife and my four young boys who love the outdoors and love to follow their Dad around the mountains. Hunting for my family is not just a hobby it is a very real part of our lives. I am so lucky to have a wife who supports me in all of my crazy Bow Hunting endeavors. To me there is nothing better than having a Bull Elk screaming and looking for me in the pine/aspen forests of fall knowing that maybe I might get a shot. Nothing better! When I am not hunting or thinking and dreaming of hunting I am just like every other average guy working very hard to put food on the table for a family that I love! I tend to believe that when someone is passionate about something as much as I am about Bow Hunting it tends to make them successful and to me success is not always in the kill, though without the kill none of us would be doing it or would we?

			Bio: Hunting has been a part of my life since I was born. After graduating high school I began working as a hunting guide in Montana and New Mexico in the fall and pursued a degree in Marketing during the spring and summer at the University of Nevada, Reno. My dream since I can remember has been to be a hunting outfitter and at the age of 22 (three years ago) I started my own Outfitting business, Montana OutWest Outfitters (www.montanaoutwest.com) in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. My business has been featured on Realtree Monster Bulls and I have even appeared on Outdoor’s 10 Best: top elk destinations episode, talking about chasing elk in Montana. For the last two years I have been a staff writer for Real Hunting Magazine. I have worked my way up and am now the editor, designer and partial owner of the magazine. I have also had my own articles as well as articles written about my hunts appear in Muley Crazy, Hunting Illustrated, Trophy Hunter, Wild Sheep, Nevada Bighorns Unlimited, Outdoor Life Online, and Rack Magazine as well as other numerous online articles and newspapers. As far as hunting goes it is year round for me and even though I am a guide and outfitter I find plenty of time to hunt for myself. I apply for and hunt in almost every western state. From August through December I hunt almost every single day either for myself or with clients and even manage to pull off a few hunts in January and the spring. This past year I harvested three mule deer with a bow (Nevada, California, Montana) and one that is the number five typical in SCI taken with a bow ( 202 1/8 typical SCI, 211 5/8 Gross P&Y, 181 3/8 Net P&Y). I also harvested a bull elk and trophy antelope with my bow, not to mention a 372 velvet clad bull elk with my rifle. The season before that I harvested two mule deer (Nevada, Montana) a black tail and a Coues deer to finish out my deer slam as well as an elk. Three of the deer were taken with a single Wac’em Broadhead. Most seasons I harvest around three to five quality animals from three or more states. In my hunting career I have chased and taken desert bighorn sheep, dall sheep, elk, bear, mule deer, antelope, Coues deer, whitetail deer, and black tail deer but my true passion is trophy mule deer and elk hunting with a bow in hand. All of my hunts are unguided and often times solo hunts (aside from dall sheep). On top of taking my own animals, I guide clients, friends, and family to countless trophy animals every year with both a gun and bow. Websites: www.montanaoutwest.com www.realhuntingmag.com

Ever hopeful he has applied in a number of Western states including Wyoming and Oregon for elk, Colorado for pronghorn, Nevada for mule deer, and of course the various draws in California. One thing is for sure though, John will get a tag, draw or over-the-counter, to hunt the wily blacktail deer in the Coastal California region, along with the black bear that inhabit the same country. In preparation he will continue to shoot at the various competitive venues throughout California, as well as physically train. In preparation for the physical nature of his spot and stalk hunts he runs trail and road races, logging around 1000 miles per year training.

			Bio: I've been dedicated to my passion of hunting for the last 15 years. During my initial 10 years of hunting I was your typical hunt where ever and whenever possible hunter. I spent most of my fall evenings settng up climbers in the local state game lands and other public hunting areas. Success was a rare occasion, but nobody could say that I didn't put in the time. Over the last five years I've been fortunate enough to acquire some prime pieces of real estate to hunt on. I've embraced QDMA in two of my hunting areas and can now be found spending my spring weekends plowing and seeding. Hunting whitetails has become a year round effort that I'm pleased to perform. I am strictly an archery hunter because I can no longer get satisfaction from harvesting an animal from 100+ yards away. I'm a firm believer that the most important piece of equipment in archery is your broadhead. However, I was never completely satisfied with any particular head. After shooting for several broadhead manufacturers throughout the years and trying nearly every head on the market I can now say that I've finally found the missing link, Wac'em Broadheads!

			Bio: Larry Johns is an avid hunter, fisherman, and wildlife photographer, and has worked tirelessly as a volunteer within the wildlife field of Conservation for over Thirty years, as proven with his unselfish involvement with numerous wildlife conservation organizations. He was one of the founding Directors, and Life member, of the California Chapter of the, Foundation For North American Wild Sheep. He has served as Vice President for two terms, and now serves as a Director. He was instrumental in forming the, Sutter Buttes Chapter of, Safari Club International, in Northern California, and serves as its Founding and active President. Other Memberships include, FNAWS, the RMEF, and DU. Larry, and his wife of 30 years, Gay, Own and operate, Cratiflin Construction Service, Inc. He has three children, His son Craig (26), and Daughters, Tiffany (24), and Lindsay (21). He is also a proud grandfather of two grandchildren, Julia, and Hunter, with two more on the way in mid 2006. He has big game hunted through out the western United States, including, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Wyoming, Washington, Texas and California, harvesting Elk, Mule deer, Black tail Deer, Antelope, Bear, Wild Boar and exotics, He recently found, and became obsessed with South Africa, taking most all plains game while on his first safari with Nico and Will Pelser his PH’s. While starting his hunting career with Rifle, Larry has hunted almost extensively with a bow for the last thirty years. His future goals are to harvest a thirty inch Mule deer, Shires Moose, Mountain Goat, and an Alaskan Grizzly Bear, with his bow, along with continuing to visit, and hunt the Dark Continent of Africa, his new and real passion. As to Larry’s hunting equipment list, he shoots Wacem Broad heads, and a PSE Mach 12 Bow, Sims Vibration accessories, and a Cobra Release. He also believes strongly in the products offered by Crooked Horn Outfitters, After being introduced to Wacem Archery Broad Heads on a recent trip to Wyoming, Larry said” He will never hunt with anything else”. Its performance was far beyond what he expected. With a complete pass through on most shots, and the ability to re use time after time, it is a no brainer. He had never shot a broad head that acted as if it were a field tip. This makes practice, and hunt preparation a pleasure not a job. You only have to tune your equipment one way.

			Name: Henry Altman
			State: Connecticut
			Bow: Hoyt
			Web Site:

			Bio: My name is Hank Altman, I'm 42 years old. I've been married for 13 years and have three children. I've been hunting for 29 years on New York land that has been in my family for three generations. I harvested my first mature whitetail buck at 16 and have been hooked ever since. My brothers and I manage and hunt the same areas that my father, uncles and grandfather once hunted. Though he's only six, I'm teaching my son about the important core values and excitement that bowhunting has to offer. I also bowhunt on private lands in Connecticut to help extend my season. I have successfully bowhunted whitetail deer, wild boar, turkey and the occasional coyote, fox and other small game. Though I let many bucks pass during a season to find the right one, my personal measure of success is not necessarily related to antler size. It is very important to me to wait for the right opportunity to make a clean, quick kill and harvest the mature animal in a humane fashion. That's where Wac'em Tritons add to my hunting confidence. I do my own bow tuning and arrow building, and spend the off-season perfecting my form, and tuning my set-up with broadheads. Through careful tuning and constant practice, I have harvested many deer within only a few yards of the shot.I consider that my greatest accomplishment as a hunter. I process and butcher all of the animals I harvest. Together with my family and friends, we consume all of the game that I bring home, as I enjoy cooking it as well. My children can't get enough of the venison meals I am fortunate to provide. As an archer, I like to shoot almost daily. I shoot Hoyt and Mathews bows, Gold Tip Pro Arrows, and tune my bows with a Sure-loc X-press. I constructed an indoor 29 yard range in my basement and am fortunate to have a 70 yard range in my yard. I was introduced to Wac'em broadheads by a friend about 5 years ago and have used those heads exclusively ever since. The flight characteristics are such that I can tune all of my bows out to 50 yards to shoot identically with field points, consistently. I've devasted broadhead targets, but Wac'em broadheads still keep on going. I've shot through wild boar and deer shoulders on exit wounds and these broadheads remain intact. This is the only broadhead I will use because I've come to rely on their durability, accuracy, and consistence. After my wife and family, bowhunting is my passion. I look forward to the excitement of the fall season, though I continue that excitement throughout the year with a continual regimen of practice. Since youth are the future of our sport, I'm proud to say that I am introducing my son and daughters to the sport of archery hunting by including them while shed hunting, pre-season prep work at my stands, and enjoying the outdoors.

I have harvested many animals in my 15 years of hunting. Twice I reached a Pope and Young score. One of my greatest moments was last year when I took a hundred and sixty inch mule deer with my family hunting with me. They saw everything. I look forward to each summer to scout and each fall to hunt.

I bought my first bow at 12 years of age and killed my first deer that same year. I've been an avid bow hunter and shooter since. I enjoy 3D shoots, but hunting whitetails is my passion. I hunt them in Kentucky and Indiana every year. I have taken several book whitetails including two in 2005--one in Kuntucky and the other in Indiana. I have been very fortunate to have hunted in a variety of states in the US and other countries. I've hunted in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Mexico and Canada. While I normally pursue whitetail deer, I do enjoy bear hunting in Canada. If I had to pick one place to hunt and a target species it would no doubt be whitetails in Kentucky. It just doesn't get any better than that.

			Bio: I am 33 yrs old and married to a great women and have 3 boys to teach everything about the outdoors and more to. I was raised coon hunting, trapping, rabbit hunting and fishing all in the great state of Illinois. My dad bought me my first bow when I was 16, and I never put one down since. At that time I was a self starter, I had no one to talk to or teach me about deer hunting, so I watched every show and read every magizine I could to further my knowledge about whitetails. After I had taken a 160 inch class buck with my shotgun 3 yrs later, I had my dad buying a bow and deer hunting in no time, and teaching him everything I had learned about deer hunting so far. My passion is to pursue the giant whitetails of Illinois, and I do this every chance I get. I have taken several trophy bucks with my bow and feel truly blessed to live in one of the top 3 states for trophy deer. My deer season starts the day it ends, I am always scouting, reading, watching shows and talking to others to learn and further my knowledge about whitetails. I believe and practice quality deer management. However I will always harvest a doe as this is very important for the deer heard. We plant several food plots each year and have our scouting cameras out all summer well into the fall to monitor what deer we have on our properties. I recently started hunting public land as this creates a greater challenge yet. Beside from my never ending pursuit of whitetails, I also enjoy turkey hunting, coyote hunting, small game and upland bird hunting. I am also a avid trapper and fisherman.

My passion for archery and bow hunting began in high school and has taken me around TX both competing and hunting since.

I work at OCI Wyoming, a trona mine just outside of Green River, as an underground miner operator. Since moving to Utah, I’ve taken two nice mule deer with my Hoyt, one that scores 178 P&Y, and I hope to add a third wall mount this upcoming hunting season. I’ve taken many nice deer in Wyoming over the years, including one that scored 194 ½ B&C. I enjoy 3D target shooting as well as small game hunting with my bow.

I have been involved with all types of hunting for about thirty years, for the past 4-5 years, I have found a new love...Spot and Stalk mulies in North Dakota with a bow! It is great to get away and hunt new animals, in new locations! I am currently in HVAC sales. Prior to that, I was one of the founders of one of the largest Mathews/Mission archery retailers in the country, but after ten years, I needed to spend more time with my family! The store was sold, now I have A LOT more time to spend with my family and A LOT more time to do what I love, HUNT! I continue to tinker with equipment for good friends and old customers, but more in my spare time. Being a part of Wac'em is great. After all those years in archery retail, I can proudly say it was my best selling broadhead! I have made many believers of Wac'em! The problem with archery today is we all think that because the pro's use it on TV it must be the best broadhead out there! Don't believe the hype! BELLS and WHISTLES do not put animals down...they just SCARE them! STICK WITH THE BEST...STICK WITH WAC'EM.

For as long as I can remember my father and three older brothers have been taking me hunting. At the age of nine I harvested my first two trophy animals (Moreno sheep and wild boar) with a bow at Santa Cruz Island off the coast of California. Since that day I have been hooked on bowhunting and it has become a way of life for me. I have successfully harvested over 100 animals with my bow throughout the years, many of them exceeding the Pope & Young minimum. I have also taken many animals in my home state of California that exceed the CBH minimum scoring requirements; however I have never entered any animals into any record book to date. I am a member of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation as well as the California Bow Hunters (CBH). I recently became an official measurer for CBH. I also belong to the Oranco Bowmen Archery Club. I spend most every weekend at the range practicing or shooting 3D's with my family. I have been fortunate enough to hunt several different western states and also out of the country on occasion. My family has been very supportive of my passion for bowhunting. My sons have the same driving desire to shoot competitively and to hunt as I did as when I young. It is a great feeling to pass this sport on to my children. I have found that the WAC'em Broadhead is far superior to any broadhead I have shot.

			Bio: Having hunted several states and parts of Canada with both gun and bow, I can say that if I had to pick one, I would hunt only with a bow. I have owned my gun shop, then combo gun and archery proshop part-time for 20 years and then full time for the past 27 years. I have been lucky enough to be able to harvest several deer, 4 for 4 attempts on antelope, black bear, 14 or so Eastern and Merriams wild turkeys, wild boar and small game. Over the years I have been lucky enough to win some local archery tournaments and place good in some others. I also teach hunter safety and bowhunter safety. I have shot and hunted with PSE bows since 1973 and never had one break I now have an X-Force Dream Season and an X-Force Axe-7. At only 56 lbs. draw weight I put a Wac'em XL thru an antelope at 70 yards. The arrow could not be found after pass thru.

			Bio: I am an avid bow hunter that enjoys the outdoors and hunting with my family and friends. I am a college archery instructor where I focus on more than just shooting. I teach the students proper bow maintenance, differences between equipment and just about everything necessary to be completely comfortable with archery for the rest of their lives. I also teach bow hunter education for the state because I feel it is important to pass on the hunting tradition that I hope my children and grandchildren will enjoy. I am 34 years old and received a PhD. I had options to go back east to teach college, but chose to stay in the northwest because of my lifestyle. My wife is a bow hunter as well and each September we hold our annual elk camp where my family and friends join us. My oldest daughter who is eight years old shoots a bow, my 5 year old boy shoots a bow, my two year old girl can do an elk call and my expected son will likely do all of the above. I travel to different places to hunt. Last year I shot my antelope in Wyoming, and my elk in Idaho. This year I shot a bear in Alaska and have entered in Wyoming and Idaho for hunts and will likely hunt Montana for an elk also assuming I harvest my Idaho elk early enough. I have shot most all the makes of bows and have been sponsored by numerous companies over the years. I prefer wac’em broadheads because of their accuracy. They shoot exactly like my field tips and are extremely sharp out of the package.

			Bio: Phil has preferred to hunt around his hometown of western Pa since he was twelve years old and has been bowhunting since age 15. He shows extensive passion for archery both in the range and in the woods. Most fall evenings are spent in the woods after work and his summer evenings he can be found checking trail cams and hanging stands in his favorite block of woods. He is also avid about spring and fall turkey hunting with his bow. He has 3 farms that he spends the most of his time in. But still loves to hunt state land. State land is fun to hunt because of the hard hunting that it takes to put meat on the table.

			Bio: My hunting days started the first time my father took me out into the field with him, which was about 20 years ago. My father taught me how to respect wildlife and how to enjoy every minute I had hunting. I now am lucky enough to share the same things with my son. I know now how much joy it brought to my father, to take me out hunting with him. This last year I harvested 2 pope and young record book animals, here in the great state of Utah.
