Had some excited young fellows
« on: February 11, 2014, 10:21:43 am »
Was asked to give a little speech and a quick demonstration on my hobby of shooting and building longbows at our local scout banquet Sunday evening. Before I got done they were sitting on the floor by my feet. Watching  these young men absorb every word and move you make was something I will never forget. My hats off to the Scout leaders and parents for this wonderful organization. If this is in the wrong place feel free to move it where it belongs. Just wanted to share.

Yes Badger that is my grandson. When he comes over he always wants to shoot a few arrows before he goes home.

I'm not a mod, so I cant say what their thinking is, but to me this was the perfect place for this.  Love seeing these types of posts.  My hat is off to you Sir.

The coolest thing our local scouts do is the box car derby.

I offered to lead a bow making workshop for them and the parents didn't seem interested.

 ;D It's amazing!!! You have a good Scout troop to work with there and that grandson of yours looks like a pretty stout young man.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

I think the little fella all the way to the left may be a little overbowed lol.  That has gotta be a great feeling to be able to pass information and knowledge along to a crowd like that!:-)
