Rednecks, Good People Everywhere!


A couple of weeks ago I was in New Jersey at the Sportsman’s Center for their Whitetail Jamboree, which kicks off hunting season. The attendance was great and, believe me, when I tell you that Foxworthy was right when he said that being a redneck is not just a Southern thing. These guys are hardcore hunters and killing some great deer, all within two hours of New York City. I was impressed. I also enjoyed hearing all of the excitement about their upcoming trips to the Midwest.

The store is operated by Vinnie Mancini; he is a world champion indoor archer and has a great reputation in the area for expert bow service. It was fun hanging around as Vinnie and I compared tuning and setup notes, and we ragged each other about the way we both tied D-Loops. If ya’ll are in the area, stop and see him and the gang there.

I also got to go fishing within sight of the Statue of Liberty with my buddy, Big George, and his friends. They were great company and true rednecks (a.k.a. Carrot farmers). We caught bluefish and fluke. And I also got to see Bon Jovi’s childhood house. A true dream come true.

Thanks for all the response to the last blog about the certified pro shops.
