the future of archery
« on: October 10, 2009, 12:16:10 pm »
Last winter my son Hayden was working in my shop with me and told me he wanted to make a bow and arrow set for his best friend Ben.  Ben is in my sons preschool class.  We made the bow and arrows for Ben after I asked his dad if it would be ok with him.  I can't remember all the details of the bow but that kids eyes lit up when Hayden gave it to him.  The shot for hours in the back yard,  looking at the pics makes me smile every time hope it has the same effect on you.

Tell the munchkin on the left that he needs to work on his follow through , and to stop plucking the string.

(just kidding)  :P  :D ;D

Sulphur, if you didn't get that lump it would put your "man card" in question for sure! ;)

Hayden the one on the left with the crazy release is shooting a bamboo backed yew and Ben is shooting a silk backed osage d/r.  I had forgotten until I saw my own post with the pics.  I have not given my boys any instruction except " use three fingers" I will perfect their form later.  You would not want Hayden shooting at you under 20 yards I can assure you.  He normally shoots slightly low if you Know what i mean.  Her is a pic with dad when they were little.
