Dang!! Sorry to hear that. I still have my old original Jennings compound from back in the early 70's.

May he rest in peace. Yep, my first really cool compound bow was a Jennings Shooting Star.

I am saddened to hear of his passing. I remember when I could only dream of being able to own one of his bows. Reading this thread reminds me of how old I am becoming.

Hate see an archery icon pass, RIP Mr. Jennings.

He was a great man, designed some fanastic compounds back in the day. I shot for Bear/Jennings in the early 90's, had the pleasure of being around him at the Vegas SHOT Show for a week every year for three years...Rest in peace sir!!

It amazed me today, people I thought should have known who Tom Jennings was didn't! The way I look at the things I enjoy is I want to know its history, from MMA, archery, fishing ect. I want to know who is responsible for putting wheels on a bow or who came up with the idea for plastic vain's. Its who we are and what we do.
