Tim Ward - Tim
is a 35 year old father of his son, Collin. That's his little buck. He was born and raised in Western
Pennsylvania in a small town (Industry) just 25 miles north west of Pittsburgh. GO STEELERS!!!
His love for the outdoors stems back to when he
was very young. Tim's family really enjoyed the outdoors. They were always hiking,camping, fishing,
and hunting. Tim was probably 8 or 9 when his father starting him out"hunting" with him. So by
the time it was his turn, he was obsessed with the outdoors. This obsession quickly turned into a life-long
passion for outdoor sports.
Tim's favorite outdoor memory took place during
the 2000 archery season. where he had an 8 point walk within 20 yards of his stand. When Tim
let that arrow fly, his heart sank as he watched it harpoon the ground just underneath the deer. As he trotted
off in alert, Tim quickly grunted at him, which luckily turned him in the direction of his dad who was only 70 yards
from Tim. The buck stopped broadside 15 yards from his stand, and unlike Tim, his father didn't miss.
He had bowhunted for as long as Tim can remember, and this was the first buck he had ever shot with a bow.
In hindsight, Tim thanked god that he missed it afterwards. Ironically, Tim's dad doesn't let him
forget that he shot the deer Tim missed.
There is nothing more intense than the adrenaline rush
you feel when that buck is coming into range, or the spectacular show put on by a largemouth bass on the end of your
line. Videotaping these outdoor adventures is our way of sharing them with you. So take the time to experience the beauty
of mother nature...and PLEASE SHARE HER WITH A CHILD. Email Tim

Rick Costanza - 49 year
old Rick Costanza lives in Conway, Pa. He enjoys hunting, fishing and woodcarving. Rick starting his hunting career at the
age of 12 and began archery hunting in 1985. Since then it has become his passion. Every year he looks forward to the preparation
for archery season and spending time afield with family and friends. One of Rick's favorite highlights was shooting a really
big 8 point after being in the stand only 3 minutes, and then sharing the moment with his sons Rich and Josh. Rick started
hunting and filming for Parsons Outdoors in 2006, after meeting Jon and Tim at a local hunting show. He is still looking for
his first Pope and Young Whitetail. Could this be the year? May all your arrows fly true!
John
Rovente - John is a 42 year old born and raised in California. He moved
to Pennsylvania in 1991 and is now a resident of Monaca Pa. John started his hunting career at the ripe
old age of 8 when he shot his father's 12 gauge shotgun at a mallard duck down in the San Francisco Delta. As you
can expect, it blew him out of the duck blind but it is something that will stay with him for the rest of his
life. John's father was an avid upland game hunter and taught him all that he knew. At the age of 10 his
family moved to the very small town of Groveland which lies in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. At that
time his father introduced him to big game hunting and it opened a new world of hunting. John bought his first Bear compound Bow
and found a love for archery as well. After joining the Military Police Corps., he was set up as "platoon
sniper" in the 3 different bases he was stationed at. John found his true passion of long range hunting.
Since then he has taken hunting to a new level with different optics and range finders that have enabled him
to take deer at the range of 1400 yards with his Custom 300 WIN MAG. John advises that any further than
that would still be a kill but the bullet's remaining foot pounds of energy would be too low for a clean kill.
Tim and Jon have given John Rovente the
opportunity to show his long range hunting skills to others and he's passionate in sharing the knowledge that he
has to help other hunters, whether it is with a bow, crossbow or a firearm.
Joe
Bell - 24 year old Joe lives in Lisbon, OH. He lives on some of the best whitetail hunting ground in NE Ohio. When
it comes to deer hunting, it is a 365 day a year obession with him, from planting food plots to establishing minerals sites.
During the summer you can usually find him on a 3D course honing his bowhunting skills for the upcoming season. Besides chasing
whitetails, Joe has a passion for the thunder chicken of spring. His goal for the upcoming turkey season is to take one with
archey tackle and one with his muzzleloading shotgun. Joe has been with us since 2003. Wait and see what is in store.
Hunting isn't just our passion...It's our life !
