#1: Herb Reynolds
Inducted: February 19, 1994
At: 1994 NCBA Banquet in Salisbury, NC
Herbert Alfred ("Herb") Reynolds was born in Torch, Missouri on August 30, 1936. Herb says, "They burnt the town down after he left!"
He served in the U.S. Army in Ft. Bragg, NC. Met his wife of 45 years, Patricia, in Charlotte. She’s originally from Asheville.
He now lives in Lincolnton, NC. Herb founded "Iron Station Bowhunters" in 1974. He’s been president of the "Carolina Traditional Archers" since helping found it in 1984. He says they won’t let him resign or just "quit", and he guesses he’ll have to die to get out of the job.
The one thing Herb most relishes about his involvement with archery over the years is working with young people and women and helping teach them how to shoot a bow and arrow.
Herb has taken over 100 whitetail deer with bow over the years. His biggest is a 16 pointer from Missouri. He’s also taken Wild Boar & Hogs; Bobcat; Fox; Squirrel; Doves; Geese and Quail with bow and arrow.
