While luck always plays a part in the success of any hunt, Roy attributes much of his success to research. With much of his research coming from books, magazines, and videos, the real important lessons were taught in the field by some of the great hunters he has been privileged to share camp with and the game he has pursued. 

In addition to the actual pursuit of bowhunting, Roy, a senior member of Pope & Young Club, has been an official P&Y measurer since 1987 as well as other organizations. He has served in a number of capacities with several archery/bowhunting organizations and maintains life membership in both the Mass. Bowhunters Association and the United Bowhunters of PA. He was also the publisher of Bowhunting News and operates 'Tag-A-Long' Consultants that specializes in booking bowhunters with guides and outfitters that he has personally hunted with.  Roy has been involved in the production of several hunting videos, exhibited at hundreds of outdoor shows, been a seminar speaker at numerous events, and actually organized major archery/bowhunting shows. 

To round out Roy's impressive credentials, he was an avid and fairly successful tournament archer and founded The North East 
Tournament Archery Association (NETAA), to promote all forms of tournament archery in the northeast. Through his efforts, the 
Aim For College Foundation has helped promote the sport of archery by awarding over $16,000 in college tuition voucher certificates to young archers. Roy is knowledgeable and dedicated to our sport, often times putting everything he has into his beliefs. Roy's column on Bowhuntin.Net is Trophy Bowhunting. We are pleased to have him join us. . . .
