Who has an update on Craig Boddington? Dave F or someone can bring us up to date.

He suffered a pretty serious heart attack. I got an email from him a week or so ago and he said he is feeling better now than he has in a long time. I believe he has been at a big bore shooting school in Texas for the past week or so.

twoseventyGood to hear he is doing well.

billrquimbyThanks. I thought it was something more recent. We'd exchanged e-mails soon after his attack.

GanyanaCraig is on the mend. He had an over busy work scheduke which he is trying to cut down, was thinking of hunting with me in october but the realities of slowing down to 100mph have dictated this are put off to next year.
Even though hr hs cut right back he is still doing too much too quickly to be up to date on emails etc.

375LVRI traded email with Craig a few weeks ago. He is feeling better and back working, in fact he will be at a fishing tournament of all things the end of July.

WoodmnctryHow bout a better description of what happened -- and esp prior to the issue occurring --- CB had noted he had some type of warning but basically ignored it as I recall -- we all might learn from his experience and the results.

OMG!-- my bow is "pull-push feed" - how dreadfully embarrasing!!!!!

L. David KeithFor those of you who may have seen TAA yesterday, this was the episode filmed in Uganda where he took a nose dive after shooting a Nile Buff with his buddy. This was the beginning of what Craig determined to be a possible serious issue that needed attention. He since has been doing much better and continues to recover.

dogcatI watched the show and was looking for the symptoms on Craig. It was getting obvious he was experiencing some exhaustion at the end of the hunt. Glad he is ok now.
