While another archer with Wiseman's fast-accruing credentials might seek out stardom or sponsorships, he's more focused on helping others with similar disabilities who want to shoot a bow, and he invites the curious to contact him through his Facebook page. That would include re-shingling both dwellings, and Wiseman ascending a ladder with bundle after bundle of shingles over his shoulder – a weight of between 70 and 85 pounds each trip up. When Wiseman isn't shooting, he's fishing or boating or remodeling the home and cabin he shares with wife Lacey and their 4-month-old daughter, Gracie. This past year, he scored a doe, a buck and two turkeys with arrows. What also astounds fellow archers is that Wiseman shoots lights out with a bowhunting bow, and not a more sophisticated "target" bow with a scope and other target-enhancing accouterments.Īnd this: He hunts game from a ladder stand, again, no small feat to climb with one good arm. In the next moment, he remembered he'd eaten some potato chips before taking to the bow, and hadn't swallowed them all. He says no, then laughs to recall how during one shoot, out popped what he thought for an instant were some teeth. That's a lot to ask of your molars, and I wondered whether Wiseman's dentist is aware. Incredibly, Wiseman shoots with a draw weight of 62 pounds – and increases it to 72 when hunting – no small feat, even for someone with two good arms. Where others pull a string or trigger release with their hand, Wiseman ties a piece of braided nylon cord that extends about two inches from the string.Īfter nocking the arrow, he brings the bow to his mouth and clenches the wad of string with the jaw teeth on his right side, then extends his left arm while simultaneously pulling back with his teeth to extend the bow. Adds another Rustic patron, Rick Walker, "I wish I could beat him he's phenomenal."
