Introducing R.R.M.L. Member, Mike Rigazio

( A.K.A. Drawknife)

Hi, I've been with the River Rats since the late 70's and have served as president of the club since about 1980. I started shooting black powder, and buckskinning in the mid 70's. I'm married with out children, so we have no trouble being as active in our sport as we please to be. My wife enjoys the sport as much as I do and I'm very seldom seen at a shoot or rendezvous with out her. She is also an active participant in club activities.

I enjoy all aspects of the outdoor sports arena and have a real passion for hunting and fishing. If it were not for a means of support (JOB) we would not be recreators and part time survivors, but creators and survivors!

I also am a bowyer of sorts, building primitive weapons from staves. This has become one more in the list of passions that I add to my collection. I love the ability to create a weapon that can and is used for protection and the harvesting of food.

If any one would like to know more about me or the things I enjoy, visit my home page at geocities.

You will find a lot of info on the things that make up my life, and there are lots of pics to view. If you haven't guessed already, one more passion that I indulge myself in is web-site design. It's been nice meeting you all, come and visit again.
