Frank Addington, Jr

Frank Addington, Jr brings an exciting stage show of archery razzle-dazzle and trick
shooting that will amaze and entertain any audience!  People will be talking about "the  aspirin buster" long after the show ends.  Families will love this show!  Entertaining is just part  of his role.  Hitting a baby aspirin flying in mid air with a arrow is an accomplishment in itself.  When you consider that Frank Addington, Jr does it from behind his back, that is mind boggling.  He doesn't just do it one time, he uses this signature shot at every archery exhibition he does across the country.  An amazingfeat that Addington spent a lifetime developing.

Ted Nugent said, "The mystical flight of the arrow has been a guiding force of physical & spiritual harmony in my life & the lives of millions of families across America forever. My American Blood Brother Frank Addington, Jr. celebrates this moving archery ballet at its finest.  It is a razzle-dazzle bow & arrow demonstration of the highest order that the whole family will enjoy.  Frank is the Master."
