Prairie Prowler…Well Mike Horton’s comments are fairly close but not exactly correct. I started Bighorn and had several different employees, one being Glenn Nelson, who left Bighorn several years after I sold it to King of the Mtn. He and another fella, Ron Redmon, started “Bowyer and Fletcher”, which didn’t make it as a partnership. Glenn Nelson and his brother, Ron (and here it gets a little confusing to me) began just making bows, naming them “Northstar”. They ran an ad or two, but didn’t last. Going back to “Bowyer and Fletcher”, the Nelson boys simply copied the Bighorn bows which was the only experience they’d had with bows. They rounded a few corners, made a few corners, and, I think, put a tad more setback in the longbow. But, they didn’t last long. Glenn went back to his home town in Minnesota (dying a short time later of cancer) and Ron went back to work for Bighorn, which was sold to Bud Boker, who died in a couple of years, and Ron, “sort of” took over. I think he called his bows Bighorns too. So, what you have is a copy of a Bighorn, probably built in the mid-90’s. I don’t think there were very many built.
