Byron Ferguson's Achievements

Now famous for his coin trick, Byron once shot eight dimes in a row out of the air. He uses no sights or other gadgets when he shoots. He developed his style of shooting by sitting in a totally dark room and shooting out the flames of candles.

Slitting a playing card in half - from the side - is one of Byron's favorite tricks.

The most difficult shot of Byron's career came while performing on the television show Super People in Tokyo when he shot an arrow through a diamond ring. Without knowing about the trick and without any practice, Byron made a perfect shot.

When Byron performed at the National Game Fair on the grounds of Chambord Castle in France, he was the most popular attraction and earned the title "King of the Show".

Byron appeared on American Shooter on TNN, ESPN, ESPN2 and OLN for ten years where his "SHOT OF THE WEEK" was the most watched portion of the show.

Byron served as host and producer on TNN's "Everything Outdoors" the worlds first "how-to" outdoor TV program. While filming a segment for this show the Apache Indians named Byron "TDO-EE-CEE-E" which means The One That Doesn't Miss.

In 2003 Byron formed BYRON FERGUSON PRODUCTIONS, a full-service video production company. This company produces Byron's video work as well as work for anyone needing high quality video production or DVD duplication. Byron is the author of "Become the Arrow" a paperback instructional book on bare bow shooting as well as the video of the same title and other archery related video's.

Since Byron began shooting exhibition archery he has performed in approximately thirteen countries, including the United States.

Quotes

I have only observed the late Howard Hill accomplish feats similar to those of Byron. His achievements with the traditional longbow are a true credit to his sportsmanship, dedication, hard work, and desire to be the best there is. Byron Ferguson is a sincere archer with a performance record second to none. - Pete Fosselman, Bow & Arrow Hunting Magazine

Byron is an individual who is a great archer, an exceptional showman, a very competent bowyer and an all-around credit to our sport. I've watched him hold bowhunters in fascination with his easy Alabama manner while he made his longbow talk and his arrows sing. - Norb Mullaney, Bowhunting World

Like the immortal Howard Hill, Ferguson shoots with precision and accuracy that masters of the longbow have become legends for. I am amazed not only by his skill with the bow and arrow, but by his approach to life. Shooting dimes out of the air or shooting deer on the run, Ferguson is a master craftsman worthy of the Lincoln Green of Sherwood Forest. - John Phillips, Outdoor Writers of America
