Competitor
 Ed began his archery career in 1959 and
started bowhunting in 1965. On the target side, for more than 20
years, Ed was known as “Mr. Consistency.” He dominated
professional archery, NAA and NFAA events. Archery tournaments
were Ed’s favorite form of the sport.
In 1962, while attending his first NFAA
National, he had an opportunity to shoot in a group with Rube
Powell. Rube passed along a thought that stayed with Ed
throughout his entire competitive career — “never give up
until the last arrow is shot.”
