Tuff Tribe Spotlight: Dale Karch Gear Dump

Dale's more than 20 years experience as a Tool and Die Maker certainly taught him an important lesson. There's no such thing as "good enough," you keep working until it's done right. That's a good attitude for a bowyer to have. His Tomahawk Bows®, of which he is very proud, are built to his exacting standards. Quality and craftsmanship through and through. Every bow that Dale builds is built as though he was going to hunt with it himself. And he takes his hunting seriously! An avid hunter, he enjoys pursuing any and all kinds of big or small game with the bow and arrow. He's even enjoyed some success in his adventures. Just ask him, he'd be happy to share a story or two.

Dale admits he's a die-hard bow hunter who has pursued; moose, elk, bear, whitetail, mule deer, caribou, small game, and African game. With more than 30 years hunting experience, he's also had his share of misses.
