Dave Watson doesn't just talk about the outdoors…
HE LIVES
IT!
Dave Watson
grew up in Arizona with
two passions - music and the outdoors. He excels in both. Dave has
traveled the world in search of high strung adventure with both bow and
guitar.
Dave's accomplishments as a bowhunter were recognized when he was
selected by Congressman Jim Barcia, (D-MI), to serve on the new
Congressional Archery Task Force. Dave was also voted by Archery
Business Magazine as one of the 25 giants in the Archery and Bowhunting
industry over the last 25 years.

As a
musician, Dave played bass guitar for some of the hottest acts in Nashville
including Lee Greenwood, Shenandoah and over 7 years for The Legendary
Oak Ridge Boys. According to Dave, the highlights of his music career
included two USO Tours in The Mediterranean with Lee Greenwood and
countless performances at The White House for President George H.W.
Bush. "These were very relaxed days at The White House and I spent
most of my time there discussing hunting adventures with The President
or shooting with The FBI at Quantico.
A few of the guys have become lifelong friends", says Dave,
"and if you think I can shoot, you should see what these dedicated
men can do with a .308 at 1,000 yards!"

water and wildlife depend on the cooperation of everyone and it's
important for all of us to be a part of the team", Dave stated in
a recent radio interview.
