Bison Success!
01.24.2007
Dale and Sandie are back from South Dakota and had a great time. The cold
and challenging terrain made the hunt pretty tough, but Dale was finally able
to bag a mature bull with one shot from his heavy
Tomahawk "SS". The bull just wouldn't let Dale get in close. The snow had
that squeeky-crunch it gets when it's that cold and the bull picked up Dale's
movement surprisingly well. Don't believe that Bison don't have good eyes! Finally,
toward dusk, Dale was able to get within 40-50 yards and took careful aim. (In
case you've never seen Dale shoot, he is rock solid. I've never seen him buckle
under pressure.) The shot felt right to Dale and he released. He said he watched
that arrow all the way, just knowing it was going to be a good hit. A good hit
it was, the Woodsman®
penetrated all the hide hair and meat of the Bull's triceps and penetrated halfway
through the top of the heart. (That's a BIG heart.) The bull trotted off but went
down in 170 paces.
The guide, was in awe. He'd never seen a wood arrow
before and he couldn't get over the incredible blood trail. He was fascinated
by the fact that a stick and a string just shot a steel tipped arrow into a big
mature bull and put it down so quickly. (Sometimes we forget just how amazing
traditional bows and arrows are to those who don't shoot them.)
Sandie
did an excellent job capturing the event on film, but the camera messed up and
the footage may not be usable. We're still checking to see if the footage is salvageable.
She did get quite a few still pictures as well, so at least we have those to share.
She also commented on the bison's eyes. She said they just seem to look right
through you. Impressive.
The adventuresome couple had an excellent time,
braved the cold, and brought back a bunch of meat that they've let us sample.
Let me tell you something, bison meat is in a class of it's own. Right up there
with moose and Dall Sheep.
Congratulations to Dale and Sandie, and welcome
home.
Dale and Sandie Karch Pursue American Bison01.09.2007
Next week Dale and Sandie are heading into the bitter cold of January in South
Dakota in pursuit of American Bison, or Ta-tonka. This will be the first attempt
by the advetursome couple for Bison and we're all anxious to hear how they do.
Dale will be using his 70# Tomahawk
"SS" and heavy cedar arrows tipped with his favorite broadhead, the Woodsman®.
Sandie will be in charge of the entire filming crew. (Read that: Sandie will be
filming.) Wish them luck!
We'll keep you posted. Check back to see how they
did.
3Rivers
Archery & DAS Kinetic Bows Announce the "Dalaa" Recurve
The "Dalaa" Precision
Engineered Recurve
3Rivers Archery and DAS
Kinetic Bows are teaming up to offer a new precision engineered bow model
based on the original DAS Hunter. This new bow, the Dalaa will be a 3Rivers Archery
exclusive, and only sold through us.
"Dalaa" is the Apache word for
number one, pronounced Dah-Laah.
The idea was to take the proven technology
of the original DAS bows and reproduce that quality at a more affordable price.
The Dalaa features the same geometry, weight, balance and feel of the original.
It replaces the ProCarbon Custom model which has been a huge success, and uses
the same limbs. Much of the cost savings have come from replacing tedious hand
operations with state of the art manufacturing, something only made possible by
the volume that we at 3Rivers can handle. This is a partnership that greatly benefits
our customers! We are hoping to have this bow on the shelf by mid to late October!
3 Rivers will also be carrying other select DAS products!
In the mean time, be sure to check us out at 3RiversArchery.com.
We've got literally thousands of traditional archery items in stock and ready
to ship.
Dale Karch
Scores on Australian Buffalo!
07.10.2006 What makes a man, hunting
with a longbow, travel half way around the world, to put himself in harm's way,
in pursuit of a 3/4 ton animal that could kill him in an instant? Adventure, the
thrill of the chase, a test of nerve? All of the above. Dale Karch, owner of 3Rivers
Archery, and Denny Sturgis Jr. just returned from such a trip. They traveled to
Australia in hopes of putting bringing down the formidable Australian buffalo.
This is their story... 
Denny Sturgis Jr. & Guide Bill Baker
Finally, after the
long flight, introductions, and getting settled in, the hunt was on. Bows and
arrows were checked. Broadheads resharpened. Some practice shots were made to
loosen up both muscle and mind. No time was wasted, and the bowhunters were in
the field. They needed to get close. Ten yards or less was the plan. At ten yards
anything can go wrong and there were some tense moments. 
As the bull looks his way, Dale freezes, waiting for a shot opportunity.
If
one of these bulls sees you, FREEZE. If they detect movement, chances are they'll
charge.
Bill warned them, "When you finally shoot, DONT'T MOVE. The
bulls will look to see where the arrow came from. If you move they'll come for
you and I'll have to try to put them down before they get to you and that's a
bad situation." 
The bull is getting CLOSE, Dale doesn't move a muscle.
When
you're within ten yards of 1500 pounds of belligerent meat on the hoof there's
no room for error. If one of these bulls come for you, only a perfectly placed
bullet to the spine will do. One mistake and the hunter becomes the hunted. 
Guide Bill Baker protects the bowhunters as this big bull gets too close for comfort.
The
country was wild and the buffalo ever present. It wasn't long before the first
bull of the hunt fell to a perfectly placed arrow from Dale's 70# Tomahawk "SS".
Dale waited until the bull had his near leg forward and punched the prototype
broadhead right through the bull's heart. The moment the arrow hit, the bull snapped
his head up and searched for movement. Dale stood solid as a rock. The words of
his guide kept racing through his head.
"Don't move, but keep shooting."
Dale couldn't move, the bull was still looking his way. Then in one
fluid motion, the bull turned and ran. After a good long wait, they took up the
trail and found Dale's bull dead and down. The "Little Delta" broadhead had done
it's job well, cutting right through the top of the heart. A one arrow kill, on
a 1500 pound animal that went barely 60 yards. Score one for Dale Karch.
The first bull is down. Dale and Denny relish the victory.
Then, in a moment of inspiration, Denny Sturgis predicts how many buffalo will
fall to Dale's arrows.
Once the first bull fell, the action
was nonstop. Dale took another bull, and Denny two. There were fish to shoot,
miles of country to hunt, and huge crocs to keep you ever on alert. These are
the BIG Australian crocodile that hunt and kill anything that moves, including
man. It's similar to hunting in big bear country. Be aware!
Denny took
a big old bull and his story is a good one. Here's how that one played out...
The men came up on an old timer, he was big bull, but on his way down,
past his prime. Denny got in close, real close. At less than twelve yards he waited
for the bull to expose his vitals. Finally, as the bull's leg moved forward, Denny's
drew his heavy Black Widow longbow, pulling deep and released. Thunk! The arrow
buried deep, almost to the fletching right in the sweet spot. Denny froze, but
instead of looking for him, the bull turned and looked at the arrow. Almost like
he was saying, "What is that?" Denny, remembering Bill's advice to "shoot again",
had another arrow ready. When the bull turned around far enough to expose his
opposite side, Denny planted another deadly arrow. He froze, but the bull duplicated
the scenario! He turned to look at the second arrow. As he did he circled around,
again exposing the original side to Denny. When you're in hunting mode, and within
spitting distance of dangerous game, your instincts take over. In an instant Denny
place his third arrow within inches of the first. At that, the bull walked off
about 20 feet. His hind quarters gave out, and went down for the last time.
You can imagine the celebration! Three arrows in the kill zone within about
ten seconds, and a brute of a bull was down. A real trophy for Denny, and an experience
that will be long remembered. 
Denny Sturgis Jr and the old monarch that fell to his three arrow volley.
The
good news is, we've been working on a broadhead for the toughest of critters,
like the Cape and Australian buffalo In all of our tests our Little Delta broadhead
performed flawlessly! It penetrated thick ribs both vertically and horizontally
with no failures. That's what we were shooting for. It's tough, it sharpens easily,
and holds an edge. We've tested other two-blade heads and found that they curled
when impacting solid objects. The Little Delta has passed all these tests with
flying colors. It's going to be THE broadhead of choice for bowhunting dangerous
game. Now for the bad news, it's not going to be available until next year sometime.
Hang in there with us, we promise it'll be worth the wait. If you're a two-blade
broadhead fan, you're going to like what you see. 
A collection of shots from the 2006 Australian buffalo hunt.
Both
Dale and Denny experienced the bush of Australia, the fish, the animal life, and
even the native element when some of the locals put on a dance for them. They
bring home memories of adrenaline pumping close encounters with big bulls, and
the satisfaction of mentally replaying the flight their arrows striking deep into
the Australian buffalo. Their hosts, Bill and Linda Baker shared their well provisioned
camp with them, took care of them in camp and in the field, and helped make this
a hunt to remember. G'Day...

The
Compton Traditional Shoot Was A Blast!
06.26.2006
As always, we had a wonderful time at the Compton Traditional Rendezvous
in Michigan. Legendary Glenn St. Charles and his son Joe St. Charles were there
signing autographs, visiting with friends both old and new, and sharing stories
of the old days of archery in the US. It's always an honor to have Glenn attend.
Our thanks to Glenn and Joe for being there.
Of course Dale and Sandie
Karch were there along with our controller Teresa neck deep in helping the Compton
event run smoothly. 3Rivers supports the ideals and the direction of the Compton
Traditional Bowhunters wholeheartedly. Our new inventory manager Danny Dupuy
worked the 3Rivers Archery booth, and after closing up the shop in Ashley on Saturday,
Todd Smith made the trip up to visit with everyone.
Best of all, we
were able to make it out on the range to shoot. What a great time that was! Tomahawk
Bows were everywhere and arrows of all sorts were flying. The gratifying "thunk"
of arrows hitting 3-D targets was everywhere. We were especially happy to see
so many kids enjoying themselves on the range. Shooting bows and arrows is truly
a family affair and the families were out in force! The Compton shoot is a perfect
place to introduce your kids to traditional archery.
Thanks to everyone
who stopped by the booth to chat and test drive our Tomahawk longbows. Thanks
to all the folks who worked so hard for the event to be a success, and thanks
again to Glenn and Joe St. Charles for attending.
Make plans to attend
next year's event. It'll be even bigger and better.

3Rivers and Tred Barta Join in Promoting Traditional
Archery!
Dale
Karch (on left) and Tred Barta seal the deal with a handshake. 05.17.2006
3Rivers Archery and Tred Barta™ are very passionate about spreading the word
of traditional archery. Tred has designated 3Rivers as the sole licensee of Tred
Barta certified archery products. What better way to get people involved in traditional
archery than to offer quality bows, arrows, and accessories at reasonable prices?
That’s exactly what the Tred Barta line of archery equipment will bring you. The
line includes: Tred’s own signature bow, his own line of arrows, and various other
accessories. Tred takes a no-frills approach to bow hunting and that philosophy
carries over to each piece of certified Tred Barta gear. Barta gear is tough,
Tred-Tough, and available now exclusively through 3Rivers Archery.
Tred
Barta is fast becoming a household name. The outspoken star of the Outdoor Life
Network’s top rated show, “The Best and Worst of Tred Barta”, is a no-nonsense,
shoot-from-the-hip kind of guy who defiantly walks to the beat of his own drum.
He hunts anything from rabbits in Ireland to Grizzly bear off the coast of Alaska,
doing it with nothing but a longbow and homemade wooden arrows. His television
show is fast-paced and exciting, but the secret to his popularity is just as much
his frequent rants and other antics as it is his hunting and fishing adventures.
No matter how “in your face” Tred gets, one thing is certain, he loves hunting
with traditional archery equipment, and he wants to share the experience with
as many as he can.
3Rivers Archery, the world’s largest supplier of longbows,
recurves, and other traditional archery products, is also passionate about introducing
the joys of traditional archery to the world, from the youngest of children to

Dale Karch, Fred Asbell, & Bob Link at the
Trueflight Feathers Ranch.11.10.2005
Everyone knows that Trueflight
Feathers are the best feathers available anywhere. They are quality through
and through. Trueflight Feathers are used by anyone who demands the best. Among
those who do are; Dale Karch (owner of 3Rivers Archery), G. Fred Asbell (Author,
instructor, and all-around traditional bowhunting guru), and Bob Link (Long time
Trueflight Feathers VIP employee and ranch host). 
Bob Link was host extraordinaire when Dale and Fred visited the
ranch for a little whitetail deer hunting with longbows earlier this month. The
Iowa woods were slowly changing to full fall color, the bowhunters were ready
to get on with the hunt. Stand placement is a big part of the bowhunting
thrill for Dale. There is great satisfaction in selecting a productive stand site
then harvesting a nice buck. With his decision made, Dale settled in for the long
haul. In time, Dale noticed a nice eight-point rack bobbing in his direction through
the tall grass. It didn't take long to decide this one was a shooter. Not huge,
but a very nice whitetail buck. Since the buck gave him the perfect shot opportunity,
Dale took it and sent a Carbon Express on its way. Dale had confidence
that the shot was good, but decided to quietly head back to camp before taking
up the trail. Later, after a brief tracking job, they found Dale's trophy less
than 150 yards from the stand site. It looked as though he had run until he dropped.
The Wensel Woodsman
broadhead had done its job well. There were congratulations all around, a
few pictures snapped, and a small camp celebration that evening. 
Dale not only owns 3Rivers Archery, he is the designer and originator of the
Tomahawk Bow Company. He always hunts with one of his creations and this time
it was one of his favorites, his Tomahawk™
"SS" Longbow. A sweet shooter that has made much meat for him in the past. The
days were warm, and the time afield pleasant. It was on a day like this that Fred
Asbell had an encounter. He had been scouting, poking around looking for sign,
when he noticed some deer on the move. Being the consummate stalking and stillhunting
hunter, he quickly switched into "hunt mode". In time, a nice three-point came
a little too close. The situation "felt right" to Fred and he let fly a single
cedar arrow. That's all it took, one opportunity, one arrow and Fred claimed his
prize. He was using one of his Black Widow recurve bows and a new four-bladed
Eclipse broadhead.
A happy ending to a good day of hunting. 
As in all hunts, all too soon it was time to head for home. Dale, Fred, and
Bob, said their good-byes and parted company. Each carried with them, their own
fond memories of; good food, good friends, and new bowhunting experiences shared
at the Trueflight Feather Ranch. A special thanks to Bob Link and all the
folks at the Trueflight Feather Company for making this hunt possible.
2004 Free Hunt Winner, Brian Campbell, Scores!10.10.2005
Brian Campbell, winner of last year's Free Hunt Giveaway, scored on a very nice
nine-point whitetail while on the hunt earlier this month. He was our grand prize
winner of a trophy whitetail hunt on one of Nickie Roth's whitetail hot-spots
in Montana. 
He and Dale hunted most of the time together and they both thoroughly
enjoyed Montana. Brian was shooting his Tomahawk™
Longbow and Wensel Woodsman™
broadheads. 
Congratulations Brian!

Everyone scores on musk ox in the NWT!
09.06.2005
Wow, everyone in camp, Dale Karch, Ted Judson, Bryan Burkhardt, and Len Rinke
all harvested musk ox with their longbows and recurve bows!
Dale and Ted used Wensel
Woodsman™ broadheads and since they both had complete broadhead penetration,
Ted came up with what very well could be our next Woodsman™ slogan.
"Wensel
Woodsman™ broadheads, good to the hide of the other side!"
The
country was wide open tundra with a few areas of rock outcroppings. You could
literally see for miles. If you could locate a group of musk ox in the rocks,
you had cover. So a lot of time was spent spotting, then stalking. Since the sun
shines for nearly 20 hours each day, the bowhunters were able to log a lot of
hunting into the first two days. Actually, everyone tagged out within the first
48 hours. Then it was time to enjoy some north country fishing and check out the
surrounding area. Unfortunately, "bad weather" was coming and the group had to
head to "town" and local accommodations for the remainder of their hunt. At least
while there they were able to play a little golf on the world's most northern
golf course! 
It's
a different world up there. The local residents still do a lot of living off the
land and yet they have television and video games as well. At least Dale found
some time to catch up on some important reading! 
Everyone
in the group had a great time and look forward to their next bowhunting adventure.
Congratulations to all!
Dale
Karch gets his Musk Ox!
09.06.2005
We
just got the news! Dale and his Tomahawk™
Longbow came through with a beautiful Musk Ox. These tundra animals are quite
thrilling to hunt with the bow and arrow. The country is difficult to get to and
many bowhunters never have the opportunity to hunt these prehistoric animals.
We don't have any real details yet, but Dale did get through to Sandie (No easy
task when you're in the middle of the tundra!) and told her of his success. Check
back for more details and pictures! Congratulations Dale!
Dale Karch
to begin his quest for a musk ox with his Tomahawk™
longbow. 
08.23.05
Dale Karch, owner of 3Rivers Archery is leaving Aug 30th and heading to Canada's
Northwest Territory in search of a trophy musk ox. He'll be hunting out of Holeman
with three other traditional bowhunters. Conditions this time of year should be
very favorable so our expectations are high. This is Dale's first hunt for musk
ox and he's pretty pumped about it. He'll be carrying his trusty 55# Tomahawk
"SS" longbow and shooting 650 grain 250
Carbon Express shafts arrows tipped with 175 grain Wensel
Woodsman broadheads of course!
Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted on how
he does and what adventures he has while up in that beautiful country.

The
Gals of 3Rivers™ shoot the Compton course in Berien Springs, Mi. 
06.21.2005
Sandie, Amanda, and Teresa squeezed in a little bow shooting at the Compton Traditional
Rendezvous June 17-19. They spent most of their time working for the Compton Club
selling raffle tickets, helping with the auction, and dealing with many of the
details that come with an event of this magnitude. They deserve a lot of credit
for their efforts and while Sandie has participated in many shoots before, this
was the first one for Teresa and Amanda. They had such a good time that they are
tentatively planning to attend the Eastern
Traditional Archery Rendezvous in July.
3Rivers™
had a great time at the 2005 Compton Traditional Rendezvous! 06.21.2005
WOW! What a show. Glenn St Charles and his two sons Jay & Joe came all the
way from Washington State in an RV to honor us with their presence. Larry & Belinda
Fischer and Robin and TJ Conrads from Traditional Bowhunter Magazine were there,
cooking, laughing, and of course, shooting. They cleaned house in the cooking
contests too. Both TJ and Larry took home trophies. Those guys out west sure know
how to cook! Their winning strategy? Shhhhh... (The secret to winning is to never
underestimate the lack of "taste" of these "back-east" bowhunters.) The tip of
the day was, "Anything with a hot-dog in it..."
There were activities planned
'round the clock. 192 kids were officially trained in various outdoor skills,
the Compton volunteers were dedicated and hard working. Good job guys and gals!
This show has become the epitome of what a gathering of traditional bowhunters
should be like. Plenty of laughter, shooting of bows, the telling of stories,
and eats! It's a gathering of good friends welcoming the newcomers with open arms.
The volunteers of the Compton Traditional Bowhunters who worked the show deserve
a big round of applause for a job well done.
Thanks to everyone who made this
show so awesome and we hope to see you there next year!

Woodsman™ Broadheads now available in a 150-grain screw-in. 05.24.2005
Wensel Woodsman™ broadheads, the best selling 3-blade broadheads on
the traditional archery market today, are now available in a 150-grain screw-in
version. The original glue-on Wensel Woodsman™ model is still as popular
as ever in traditional archery and modern archery circles and bowhunters everywhere
agree, these rugged broadheads are superior by design. The 3:1 ratio (3 times
as long as they are wide.) cuts down on hair, skin, and tissue resistance while
the Teflon® coating reduces friction, resulting in more one shot kills for
you the bowhunter. The Wensel Woodsman™ 3-blade design is a true cut-on-contact
that initiates the cut then penetrates almost beyond belief creating an awesome
wound channel in the process. Complete pass throughs are the rule not the exception.
The wound produced by our Woodsman™ is not a small slit like created by two-blade
broadheads. The Woodsman's™ 3-sided wound does not close up. It bleeds freely
leaving you the kind of blood trail that warms the heart of any bowhunter. Whether
you shoot a compound bow, long bow, or a recurve, bow hunters everywhere appreciate
the ease of sharpening, the near perfect arrow flight, and the quick killing power
of our Wensel Woodsman™ broadheads. Hunt with them once and we're sure you'll
agree they're,
"The most deadly broadheads you'll ever shoot."™

Archery™ is the new home of the Wensel Woodsman™ Broadhead 03.31.2005
Wensel Woodsman™ broadheads, the number one selling 3-blade broadhead
of traditional bowhunters everywhere, has a new home. The new owner is, 3Rivers
Archery, the world's largest supplier of traditional and primitive supplies. The
Wensel Woodsman™ broadhead is already known as the best penetrating, most
accurate, 3-blade broadhead on the market. Dale Karch, owner of 3Rivers Archery™
has this to say about the acquisition: "We're excited to be the new home of the
Wensel Woodsman broadhead for a couple of reasons. First, we believe the Wensel
Woodsman™ to be absolutely the best broadhead on the market today for all
bowhunters. It has already proven itself as a deadly and rugged glue-on head,
and we anticipate having an equally dependable screw-in version for carbon and
aluminum arrows in time for this coming deer season. Second, we intend to increase
production while maintaining strict quality control, to eliminate any potential
shortages." Give the Wensel Woodsman™ a try. Once you've used them, we're
sure you'll agree they are,
'The most deadly broadhead you'll ever shoot'™.

The
Traditional Archery Expo-East was great! 01.24.2005
We're back from the "Kalamazoo" show and no worse for wear. The snow fell and
the wind blew, but nothing could stop the dedicated traditional archers from making
their way to the Traditional Archery Expo-East in Kalamazoo, Mi. From the time
the doors opened Friday night till the show closed on Sunday hundreds of folks
enjoyed shooting custom bows, learning how to build bows, sinew back bows, build
arrows, etc. This has always been a great show. We saw many good friends, swapped
stories and were inspired by the likes of Monty Browning and Fred Eichler when
they shared some inspirational hunt stories. Thanks to everyone who made our show
so enjoyable. We had a donation bow out for the Kevin and Dawn Dice fund too.
Thanks to everyone who has been including them in prayers and for any donations
you have sent. May God bless you for that. We're looking forward to next year
already!
Dale
Karch brings home a Pope & Young Coues deer.
01.10.2005
Dale had a very nice hunt down in central Mexico.
He and TJ Conrads had terrible hunting conditions with a near constant rain/heavy
mist, but they continued to beat the bushes until they had success. Dale's eight-pointer
will place well in the Pope & Young record book. It takes a nice Coues deer to
make the book and he hunted his from the ground! With water everywhere the guys
were forced into spot and stalk hunting. On the second day Dale connected on this
beauty with his Tomahawk
Desert Fox.. Dale always jokes about only getting the dumb ones, but to
stalk up on a P&Y Coues deer is really unheard of. We're pretty proud of him.
Congrats Dale.
TJ, after the airline lost all his gear, kept his nose to
the wind and his senses sharp and he too scored on a nice 2 X 2 Coues buck. Everyone
talks about how difficult it is to get one of these deer at all, much less from
the ground, and both TJ and Dale did it within days of each other. Considering
the bad weather, both guys were very lucky to score. They never gave up though
and both 'made meat'. That's what they were there for.
The food was good,
the service was great, and they all enjoyed the hunt tremendously. As a matter
of fact, they nearly ate Dale's entire buck before heading home. Nathan Andersohn
was there too, he had some encounters with a few 'loco' coyotes, but that's a
story best told by him... If you're looking for a nice getaway and the chance
to chase Coues deer, give central Mexico a try. We think you'll like it.
Dale Karch adds Coues deer to the
menu in Mexico 01.06.2005
How do you beat the winter
blues? How about Coues deer hunting in Mexico! That's just what Dale Karch, TJ
Conrads, and a couple others have been up to this week. So far TJ has scored on
a 2 X 2, and Dale has taken a nice 4 X 4. Of course Dale is shooting his Tomahawk
"SS" and lovin' every minute of it. We don't have any pictures yet, but we'll
get them posted as soon as we can. Stay tuned for more adventures of, Dale and
TJ in Mexico.
Dale
Karch & "Smitty" Bring home the bacon!!
Dale
& "Smitty" had the hunt of a lifetime this past September in BC Canada. The hunting
with Teslin River Outdoor Adventures was out of this world! Both hunters harvested
nice bulls and Dale's will be well up in the Pope & Young record book. Moose are
one of those 'special' trophies. The hunting is hard. You cover lots of ground.
The shots can come quick or you may watch your bull saunter in slowly displaying
his immense strength and power. According to these two guys, never underestimate
the power of the cow call! Their guide Pete McKeen knows moose inside and out
and is quick on his feet. Both hunters credit his skills as a guide to their success.
Smitty took a nice bull with two great shots. (Dale captured this on some very
exciting footage.) Dale's bull was introduced to the Tomahawk "SS", carbon arrows,
and good ol' Fred Bear greenheads. For more information on Teslin River Outdoor
Adventure contact: Pete McKeen 250.395.6051 teslinadventures@telus.net Dale
Karch is heading to Canada in search of monster moose.
Dale Karch
is on his way to match wits with monster moose in the wilderness of BC, Canada.
BC is beautiful country. We wish we were going with him. Good Luck Dale! Shoot
straight.
Dale
Karch & Nick Mathews, again.
Here
are a couple more photos of the Team T-Hawk success from this last trip to Africa.
Nick Mathews shot this nice red hartebeest with his Tomahawk
"SS" and Dale Karch shot this blue wildebeest with his Diamond
Series Tomahawk "SS" T/D. Congrats guys! It seems like they
couldn't miss. Can't wait to see the mounts. T-Hawks Rule!
Africa 2004, The Rest of the Story.
Dale
and Sandie are back in the good ol' USA and they had a wonderful time. Sandie
is especially pleased that her first African big game animal was a such a superb
kudu. You can tell by the photo above just how big that bull really was! She didn't
bring home her zebra, but that's a pretty good reason to go back isn't it? Dale
ended up with an eland, a nyala, an impala, a blue wildebeest, and a wart hog.
Ted Judson was pretty busy too. He arrowed a couple impala, a nice waterbuck,
a kudu, and a nyala. Nick Mathews had that awesome top ten world record waterbuck,
a kudu, and one nyala. Tomahawk Bows were strumming in Africa! They all agree,
Africa gets a hold of you and won't let go. Plans for the next adventure are already
in the works.
'Team
T-Hawk' member Rich Niblock scores big in Africa!
Rich
Niblock knows all about the hunt in Africa. You can see what great success he
enjoyed last month. He's all smiles over his zebra. A hard earned trophy. Ask
Rich what bow he shoots and he'll tell you, "Tomahawk Bows!"
He
says this of his T-Hawk, ..."the greatest bow I've ever shot."
The photos above are proof of a most excellent hunt, plenty shooting and plenty
'getting'. Take a look below at the monster kudu Rich took too! This bad boy was
57" with such deep helixes that you can fit a basketball through them.
Congratulations Rich, and good shooting! 
They're back!
We're still waiting for pics to post for everyone, but they'll be here soon. We'll
have updates on all the hunters of "Team T-Hawk". It was a great trip,
lots of hunting. Arrows on the wind, and memories that won't let go. Africa, listen,
hear her calling?...
Team
T-Hawk continues to make meat!
(Click Here for info on our Africa DVD) Team T-Hawk continues
to stalk the African plains in Melorani. Nick Mathews was on the top of his game
when he harvested this top ten world record waterbuck. This excellent trophy sported
30 1/2" horns with beautiful curves. Everyone in camp was impressed with
Nick and his Tomahawk "SS". Nick has also taken a nyala and we'll post
pictures when we get them.
Friends of Ted rejoice! Ted is the proud owner
of this fine 50" Kudu. But wait, there's more...
...Ted has also taken
a waterbuck and a nice nyala. Congratulations Ted. What else are you going for?
Dick Driscoll of Texas has taken eland, waterbuck, nyala, warthog, two impala,
a zebra, and a gemsbok.
Wow, what a trip for Dick.
Sandie and Dale Karch score in Africa!
(Click Here for info on our Africa DVD.)
Sandie and
Dale are both all smiles! They've both scored big in Africa. We don't have all
the details on Dale's Eland, but we can see it's a good one. Sandie decided to
hunt on her birthday and it turned out to be an excellent choice. She connected
on a fine kudu bull. One perfectly placed arrow from her Tomahawk "SS"
Diamond series bow, "The African Queen" put her kudu down for keeps.
She was very impressed with the Wensel Woodsman broadhead too. We're not sure
we're going to be able to get her home! They're all having a great time. Congratulations
to all the successful hunters and Happy Birthday to Sandie!!!!!
Sandie
& Dale Karch are on safari in Africa.
Sandie
and Dale Karch, owners of 3Rivers Archery, are currently in pursuit of African
plains game in Melorani. This is Sandie's first African hunt and she's into it!
She and Dale are hunting from the blinds (hides) daily but nothing has given them
that perfect shot yet. Dale is mostly playing camera man intending to get some
good footage of Sandie's adventures. Sandie is confident in her new diamond series
Tomahawk "SS", the "African Queen". Let's hope that namesake
brings her some good hunting. They are hunting from Stewart Dorrington's camp
with some good friends. As soon as we get more information, we'll post it here
so keep checking in. If we get any photos we'll post them too.
Good luck
to the "Team T-Hawk" members as they hunt the dark continent.
AFRICA DVD now available!
(Click Here)
This video/DVD is the first of the 3Rivers
Archer Traditional Adventures series.
Experience traditional bowhunting in
the wilds of Africa. Join Dale Karch, owner of 3Rivers Archery, Denny Sturgis
Jr., Rich Niblock, and Kevin Fasen as they pursue African plains game. With longbows
and recurves in hand, join them as they venture into the Kalahari Desert and the
South African bushveldt. Approx. 35 min.
Here's what Daniel L. Hamblin had
to say about it: "This is a great video. I have already watched it several
times. I really appreciated hearing the sounds of the animals and the environment.
The selection of shots and the events leading up to them were outstanding. Also
liked the variety of animals and seeing them in such a natural setting. The close-ups
of the archer's concentration and the emotions after the shot are rarely captured
in other videos. I felt like I was right there with the group and experiencing
some of the same excitement. It is evident that you spent a lot of time editing
and really include what traditional archers like to see, but with good taste.
Even enjoyed seeing you miss on that unbelievable "string jump". Boy
did that bring back some memories."

We're
back from the Traditional Bowhunter's Expo West and
what a show it was!
03.16.2004 The folks at Traditional Bowhunter Magazine know how
to put on a show! Door prizes, two bow tryout rooms and FREE dart system shooting.
If you live anywhere near Boise Idaho you need to mark this show down on your
"Gotta Do" list. Dale Karch did a bowbuilding seminar, there were hundreds
of bows to try out including our own Tomahawk Bows, and vendors galore! Anything
you need for traditional archery was there. Even awesome cast-iron cooking gear
and instructions. John Strunk had ongoing bowbuliding classes and the sound of
busting rocks never ceased as the flintknappers had their way with flint and obsidian.
What a great weekend! Our hats are off to Larry and Belinda Fischer, TJ and Robin
Conrads, and their entire crew for a job well done!
The "Team T-Hawk" boys
are back in town!
 
 
"Team
T-Hawk" stats: Dale Karch 2-javalina, Rich Niblock 2-javalina, Eric Radcliffe
1-javalina 1-feral hog, Denny Sturgis Jr. 2-javalina, and Darryl Quidort 2-javalina.
They had a great time and have lots of stories to tell. They're all sold on javelina
hunting as a great early spring getaway hunt.
That's
what we're "T-Hawk'n" About!
The "Team T-Hawk"
guys are having a blast in South Texas chasing javelina and hogs. Everyone is
stalking quietly and carrying a "T-Hawk" stick (bow). So far Dale has
tagged out on javelina, Darryl Quidort has scored, and Eric Radcliffe took a nice
hog. Great shooting guys! Now Dale and Denny Sturgis are "trading spaces".
Dale will be filming while Denny hunts. Go get'em guys! As soon as we get them,
we'll post pictures for everyone.
Dale,
and his fellow "Team T-Hawk" shooters are on their way to a javalina
shoot-out in South Texas.
Dale Karch, Denny Sturgis Jr.,
Darryl Quidort, Rich Niblock, and Eric Radcliffe (Team T-Hawk)are headed down
to south Texas for a round of javalina hunting with their Tomahawk (T-Hawk)Bows.
What the heck, it's still winter here and the next thing for us will be early
bowfishing. This hunting section in Texas is huge (what isn't in Texas?!) with
javalina that have never been hunted before. The hunting should be fast and furious.
We'll keep you posted and get some photos posted for you as they come in. Stay
tuned...
Dale Karch has
his first mountain lion!
  
12.19.2003 Ron and Susie Sherer, along with their awesome dogs, put Dale
on a nice large tom in the rugged mountains of Idaho. Dale used his Tomahawk take-down
and wood arrows to down this trophy cat. This type of hunting is new to Dale,
but he says that Ron and Susie really came through, and it was definately an adrenaline
rush! The cat weighed about 130#. Dale
Karch had a great time in the beautiful wilderness of New Mexico.
The elk won the chess game this time. Hunting camp was full of good stories, good
friends, and great food! Dale can't wait to go back for another crack at a nice
bull. Dale, with Tomahawk Bow
(Tomahawk Bows) in hand, is heading to the rugged mountains of New Mexico
for a couple of weeks of chasing elk. He's got his sights set on a big one so
keep an eye out for our updates.
(Trophy Room).
Dale Karch is back from Africa, with a big
smile!   
Dale
Karch , owner of 3Rivers Archery, had a great time hunting in Africa. The total
bag was: One Warthog, two Red Hartebeest, a 52" Kudu, a Jackal, a Gemsbuck,
an Impala, and a Zebra! Quite a feat for his first
(Tomahawk Bow) safari. He's excited about the sucessful trip and he brought
home lots of photos and video. A few of the photos are shown above and you can
find more in our
(Trophy Room). Congratulations
Dale! 
Dale
Karch and his Tomahawk "SS" score again! Dale Karch,
owner of 3Rivers Archery, needed to get away last month to chase some javalina.
He just couldn't miss with that Tomahawk "SS", connecting on an average
pig right away and then this one, which tipped the scales at 55#. Nice pig! Now
he's back in the office hard at it, but he keeps thinking of his next hunt...Africa!
