Just a little nervous. Still tryin to be as low electric as possible. PRIMITIVE!!! Before long I want to be shooting all primitive equipment. No modern stuff at all. Even glue and points. Natural EVERYTHING !!!

Man looks like you've been busy - with the bows of course :D. The kids look like they enjoy shooting them (don't know any kid that wouldn't). I gave my best friend's son the first Ash bow I made, and have been having a heck of a time teaching him to throw that elbow up and back like your daughter's doing there.

My daughter comes by it natural I guess.She has very good form. Always has.I taught her the basics on shooting and the rest she got INSTINCTIVE. She actually shoots dern good!! My boy tries to muscle it too much.He will do fine though. Thanks for the compliment.... Y'all have a wonderfull day
