Biography

Hello, my name is Mike Tichenor. I'm the webmaster for the Deep River Bowmen site. I've been involved in archery since I was a kid (that's August, 1962 in the picture above) but, wasn't seriously involved until 1979 when I moved from Kentucky to Indiana and joined Deep River Bowmen. I began bowhunting and competing in archery events held at the club and some other local clubs. My arsenal includes a PSE Laser Magnum, 50 lbs. w/Easton 2013's used for indoor; a PSE Mach 9.5, 64 lbs. w/ Easton 2213's for 3-D shooting and field archery; and an Oneida Eagle, 55 lbs. w/ Easton 2117's and Bear Razorhead lights for hunting.

I am a Lifetime Member and the League Secretary for Deep River Bowmen, I am a Member of the IBA (Indiana Bowhunter Association, the NFAA/IFAA (National Field Archery Association/Indiana Field Archery Association), and a Lifetime Member of the CBA (Christian Bowhunters of America)

I am the father of two teens, a boy 19, and a girl 17, and the husband of my wife, Sherrie for the last 21 years. When I'm not shooting a bow, I like to play golf and occasionally may be found within the confines of Ispat/Inland Steel. At work I am an Engineer Technician (EET) where I am responsible for maintenance and repair of the instrumentation and controls at #2 Basic Oxygen Furnace and #2 and 3 Continuous Casters, as well as the 15 technicians that report to me. I am also an Internet Bible Study teacher for the World Bible School.
