Pullers send out call to arms

As of press time, there were 80-plus members of the Arkansas Armwrestling Facebook page. This is, without doubt, the easiest way to get involved in a regular practice group, find a pulling partner, or find out more about the sport in Arkansas.

As group administrator David Finkbeiner of Perryville puts it, “We have pullers all across the state - Fayetteville, Beebe, Little Rock, Star City, Monticello, El Dorado, Mountain Home

” ….

In Little Rock, there’s a quarterly practice at Nathan Seamon’s house in Chenal Valley. He can be reached at (501) 765-8766, or wyldebrew@aol.com. There’s an open practice March 8.

Up in Northwest Arkansas there’s Josh Woodhouse, who regularly pulls with Craig McSherry and Shelby Mainzer and would welcome newcomers. He can be reached at (479) 925-0406 or jwoodh024@gmail.com.

In Beebe, “my husband Bruce Jones has practice every Monday at our house starting at 4:30, [and] they are always looking for new arms to pull,” says Tamara Jones. For more information, e-mail bruce_jones86@yahoo.com.
