Archery mourns the loss of "Gentleman Jim" Pickering
(Bio provided by: Archery Hall of Fame)
Jim Pickering , 72, passes after a long battle with cancer.
During his career Jim  participated and won many state and national archery tournaments since 1957. He was an avid bow hunter with his trophy animals consisting of moose, mule deer, elk, caribou, bear, cougar and Javalina.
He  was employed by Bear Archery, Carroll Archery and Hoyt/Easton,
and
Martin Archery
.
His influence and honesty has made a mark on many peoples’ lives; his benevolent spirit and love will continue to live on in all of the lives that he touched on a daily basis, "Gentleman Jim"  will be missed  by all who knew him.
Former PAA President, Les Brown. remembers "Pick".
Of all the memories I have of Archers, the one of their passing brings back the most is when Pick won the 1963 Ben  Pearson at the Michigan state Fairgrounds In Detroit Mich. The heat went out in the old coliseum and it got down close to freezing.
During the first round of the day on Sunday I set behind this quiet young fellow with a suite case and two bows right behind the middle targets. We did have a limited conversation but he offered little except that he had a flight to catch and was concerned about getting there on time. He never told me his name. When it was time for the championship line to shoot, I looked down at the targets and there he was on the top target. The rest of the tournament was truly a pleasure to watch. Dave Keaggy had his book Power Archery out by then and a lot of the top Archers had contributed to a shot that had some motion to it. Here on number one target was a young fellow, Jim Pickering shooting arrows and the only way you could tell he had shoot a  arrow was to watch it hit the gold on the old Chicago round. Keaggy was down a couple targets watching closely. “Pick”  won with a 1664 for 2 rounds.
And now it is sadly history.
