Rob Davis is a name know by many in the archery world of Maryland. In a nutshell, he played an active part in getting a separate "Archery Season", and before anyone knew it was fun, he invented the book on Bowfishing. His entire life was surrounded around the stick and string, but he was a true pioneer in the sport of bowfishing. A Maryland Bowhunters Society Hall-Of-Famer, inducted in 2007 at the age that most of us dream to get near he shared his knowledge with anyone that would simply ask it of him. I had the privilege of boarding his Carolina Skiff one July day to shoot southern rays, and it was an experience I will never forget. I shot my first ray that day, but more importantly I received way more knowledge and respect than I could have imagined. Maryland and the Archery Society have truly lost an Ambassador to our sport. And as many words that can be spoken of Rob, just as many can be told of his dear wife Betty Lou. She is the dear sweat lady that you usually meet first when pulling up his driveway. My prayers go out to her, and their family.
This is a picture of myself Rob, and friend Dennis Bradford. He knows Rob better than most.
Rob published a book called FAFFY, ( Flinging Arrows For Fifty Years ) which to my knowledge is still available. I encourage you to buy and read it. It is an in depth look at the life of Rob Davis in his own words. To my knowledge it can still be purchased here: FAFFY
Here is a picture of his book with a few personal letters from him that ironically I knew I had a treasure when I received them and saved them both.
