Ep.19: Professional Archer-Tony Tazza

In this episode of the podcast I sat down with one of my good
friends and long time Professional Archer, Tony
Tazza. 

When I say long time, Tony starting shooting Professionally back
in the late 90's. So yeah- He's been around. 
The word "professional" get's used often to describe someone who
makes their living mostly when involved in a sport. (Someone is a
"pro" baseball player, or a "pro" golfer. etc) They get paid to
play a "sport'  Another way to use the word
"professional"  is as a descriptor to someone's
character.  And honestly, the two ways of description should
coincide when you're paid to participate in a sport in the
publics eye, but oftentimes that isn't the case.  EXCEPT
when we are talking about Tony Tazza. 

Tony not only get's paid to shoot a Bow and Arrow, he's also one
of the nicest, most modest, approachable guys you could talk to
on and off the archery course. I actually heard one of Tony's
competitors say one time that "he's the nicest guy in
archery" 

Not only is has Tony been a "pro" archer he also owns his own
Archery Pro Shop "The Archery Zone" in Johnstown, PA. 
Before that, a very well respected sales representative for Hoyt
bow company, selling bows to Bowhunters, and Target archers in
archery shops throughout PA, WVA, and MD.  With over 15
National Titles, Tony's modest character and pedigree has allowed
him to pursue one of his life's passion for over 25 years.
