You have definitely got bowyering talent! Really nice jesture in getting this young man interested in primitive archery. Does seem he could use a glove though...!

I know this bow was good practice for making one for your youngun!

Thanks for the nice words fellas.  Greg, he has a tab and arm guard. He just didn't know he was gonna need it.
 Here in KY, we have an archery in the schools program. It has gotten a lot of kids into archery, just not traditional or primitive archery and to me, thats the kind thats most fun.  They all shoot Mathews Genesis bows without sights or a release.  It's  a good program but some of the things they make them do is ridiculous, like they can't shoot split finger. He tells me, they make them all shoot three under and no canting the bow.
 Oh well, you take what you can get I guess.

Looks like he's having a lot of fun, and he's a pretty good shot with it too!

That is a sweet bow and so nicely crafted. What a wonderful gesture - the boy will remember it for the rest of his life.

Very nice gesture there Shannon! As everyone above - that looks like one happy boy!! and what a shot! Have yet to try Elm myself - was eyeballing one today but had just cut a fourteen inch hickory, after hauling the two logs outa that tree up the creekbank - I was done............shew!! Those tips just keep giving (with added designs) I learned about that technique on this site myself. Thanks enjoyed the pic's.
