Great guy as far as I can tell. Met him at a show, once. I think Miranda did him dirty on the "Slam" thing.

Met him at Cabelas once. Signed my book and he took the time to talk with me one on one for several minutes. He seemed very genuine and down to earth.

Huge fan! But wish he hadn’t caved and stayed old school. He doesn’t need SM. Nor does anyone else for that matter!

I’ll follow anyone if he can get me on one of those blacktails this November :) Seriously though, I was in awe of only two men when I was a teenager, Fred Bear and Chuck Adams. You couldn’t keep me away!

Met Chuck a couple times and he always had time to chat. I’ve got the Super Slam poster and the limited edition Super Slam XX-78 arrow in the tube laying around somewhere. Always enjoyed his columns.

Darn Chuck, I’m disappointed !Are you at least still wearing old school cotton camo ? At least you’re smart enough to navigate that world.

Not going to lie, I bought a green under armour stocking cap in high school after reading Chucks story’s growing up. Killed my first Pope and Young animal wearing it :)

Good dude. Spoke with him at length at the Harrisburg show each year he came. Misunderstood by many but he’s a true blue hunter who made many sacrifices to achieve his goals. Respect!

Always in awe of his bowhunting skills, and with fingers. Met him at a show and he signed his books for me and made time to talk. Great guy!

I enjoyed his presentation/talk at the P&Y convention in Springfield.
Always seemed like a good guy to me, and he has stood the test of time.

Met him at the Harrisburg show very humble and great guy. All the craze was to see lee and mainly Tiffany but I went to listen to Chuck when he spoke.

My moment of fame with Chuck. Asked him to speak at the Iowa Bowhunters Assn. Banquet. He said for sure and did shortly there after.

Always an inspiring hunter! If there was a Chuck article, I knew it was a bow hunting story that was going to be great entertainment and I'd be learning without even knowing it. I've read his books a few times. Too me, Chuck is the Jack O'Conner of the archery world.
Never say die when the goal is identified, but in such a "non-Cam Haynes" style.

Instagram? Facebook? No thanks. Chuck couldn’t have picked a worse time to join either of those anti American sensorship sites

Hi Everyone! Hope to see you on my digital platform soon. Thank you, Ron for posting the photo of another great hunt we had. I have more photos of that 2019 trip that will appear on my new website. By the way, I did put my stocking cap back on after it dried out from packing my last buck in the driving rain. A beanie is great until it makes your ears soggy! Happy Hunting!!!

Chuck who? You guys know I taught him everything he knows about bow hunting.
Wait, wait, I just woke up, Chuck who? No different Chuck. Chuck Adams the bow hunters, great guy. Man, what a dream I just had!

It’s great to see Chuck getting the respect he deserves. For years he’s been slandered from petty, jealous people.

He always was a big influence on me in my early bow hunting days.
Anything I could get my hands on to read that he wrote, I bought the magazine.
When I get my RMEF Bugle mag., his article is my go to read first off.
Good luck, Robb

I enjoyed his hunting stories but it was the articles on setting up and tuning bows, shooting practice etc. that were the most influential.
Adams was advocating not-so-light, well tuned arrow flight when the trend turned to lighter/faster/speed at any cost. (Remember overdraws and 2213's?) This was 'BA' - Before Ashby.
From: Bowfreak
23-Apr-21
Back in the day, if he wrote it I read it. One story I will never forget was where he once shot a buck looking one direction only to find that it actually had swapped sides during the shot because he found his arrow impacted on the other side.
From: Bowboy
23-Apr-21
I've met and spoke to him a few times and he's really nice and down to earth person. When I started bowhunting his articles definitely helped me learn and become a more proficient bowhunter. He's one of the greats IMO.

I was always impressed by Chuck. He took a lot of crap years ago for advocating long range shots, but he was very successful at it.

Ahunter you need to share this thread with the G kids. Then they will understand. Hope I get a chance at a picture with a legend.

Two Feathers. Oh, I've explained to them. Personally, I have met with Fred Bear, Jim Dougherty, Midge Dandridge, Tom Jennings, Pete Shepley & many other well know archers/bowhunters & never thought about getting a photo (Me, not to bright).

Wow! Read his page of bowhunting accomplishments, wonder how found time to write! Then read his writing page of accomplishments and wonder when he found time to hunt. Man o Man! Flat out gets it done no matter what he pursues.
Congrats!!! <——<<< €

"That's true Dana, but a many, if not most were still shooting with fingers back then too. "
I suspect that many contemporary bowhunters have never even shot with a glove or tab and have no idea how to get a clean release without a $200 mechanical aid.

I attended one of his presentations at the Harrisburg Sport Show many years ago. Also saw one of the new up-and-comers at the time..................................needless to say, I got MUCH more out of Chuck's talk! ;-)
I don;t think the other guy is even making a living in the archery industry now, after "smoking" his own career by doing something stupid(and highly illegal!)
Not surprised Chuck is still going strong- he seemed like a genuine and really "down to earth" guy!

I started bowhunting in the mid-late 80’s. It was my passion in life. I read Chuck’s articles in magazines. I saw his posters on the walls at local archery shops. I even met him once back in the early 90’s at a sports show in Minnesota. I had the greatest respect for the man. Then, due to what I can only describe as an incredible cosmic fluke, I actually moved in next to him last year and became his neighbor. Yes, it is still a surreal feeling I have when I talk to him. I can honestly say and assure everyone that he is the most humble, kindest person I have met. All of us bowhunters are traveling the path that he blazed. I hope everyone visits his new website and checks out the pieces of bowhunting history in the shop. https://www.chuckadamsarchery.com

Dad said it was probably the hardest hunt he had ever been on. I asked Chuck if he would send me a signed copy. Never heard back.

I have a signed Slam Poster from back in the day. Shows all the species and Chuck's smiling face. Chuck unknowingly brought me into "serious" archery and through his writing taught me how to be a good bowhunter.

I got one of the signed "Slam" posters from Chuck when they first were offered. I always looked forward to his stories in American Hunter mags back in the 80's.
