Jim Walker, CRB President & Treasurer
From my very first hunt, hunting became a part of my life. Bow hunting is my passion. For almost 40 years, I have been an avid, self-taught hunter, game caller, and bow tuner. As an avid hunter, I always look forward to my next hunt. I enjoy sharing my hunting experiences, calling techniques, bow tuning, and archery knowledge with fellow archers, and building friendships through a common bond, the love of archery and hunting. Archery and hunting are proud heritages that we should all share and pass on.

Rob Larkin, CRB Range Master
For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Rob Larkin, and I am an archery enthusiast. By no means am I an expert, but I do possess knowledge that has made shooting bows a much more enjoyable experience. My goal is to teach you some of what I have learned so that you can identify issues with your equipment and successfully remedy them.
