Last month we told you about Luke Pearson, the North Carolina resident who had a video headed into the finals of a contest sponsored by Mathews Inc.
Pearson’s video, “A Mathews Tradition,” was recently named the winner of the “My Mathews Moment” video contest!
Pearson gets to enjoy a very nice turkey hunting trip as his prize. Here’s hoping the readers of AHuntersTales.com helped put Luke over the top! Congratulations to the entire Pearson family.
My dad’s shop is a playground for people like me. With every tool imaginable at convenient disposal, there’s always stuff you can make. It’s one of the things I miss most about being nearly 600 miles away from that shop. Not having easy access to welders, grinders, hoists, vices, steam washers or the room to use any of them makes building stuff more difficult.
But still I try.
The cutting area plus a good shot at the cabinet clasp.
I’ve spent several years assembling my own arrows. And one of the challenges I face is not having an arrow saw. Instead of buying one, I decided to take a shot at building one. I’d seen mentioned one approach on the Archery Talk Forum (www.archerytalk.com) that included using a mini cut saw available at Harbor Freight. We recently ate dinner near a Harbor Freight and I decided the time had come to buy the saw.
The Internet makes life a lot easier for outdoorsmen to keep up with their favorite pastime – especially during the off season! I recently stumbled upon Realtree’s new website and was impressed with something so many sites are missing these days. Realtree had simplified the navigation of www.realtree.com!
Realtree is a camo company with a backbone in the fact it licenses its patterns to manufacturers for use on their products.

Michael Waddell is without question the biggest star in the outdoor world.
To my gun- and bow-toting brotheron, he’s sort of our LeBron James. Well, except when he was a big-time free agent in the hunting industry a couple years ago, he didn’t do an hour-long show on the Outdoor Channel to tell everybody about it. In fact, hardly anyone knew about it. He’s that kind of humble.
He’s gone from a part-time grunt with Realtree Outdoors to the most sought-after representative for every outdoor product manufacturer. He’s developed two brands that carry significant value in the outdoors. And he’s done it by staying true to himself. I respect that very much.
He kind of reminds me a lot of Marty Smith with ESPN. Smith is beloved by NASCAR fans because he is different by being normal. Does that make sense – different by being normal? The normal for both Smith and Waddell helped fit a niche that was needed in their respective industries.
