I thought you folks might appreciate seeing what some of thew Scouts from Troop 90 have been up to! Osage bows, arrows, quivers, blowguns, atlatls and sling shots!
-
Cool! 8) Just look at the smiles.
That's the way to Pass It On!

The bow 5th from left looks like mine lol. I also had that smile when my bow actually shot some arrows, the "self worth" smile.
-
Wow, that's great! How much time was put into making those bows?

Brilliant! Well done all. :)

Thanks for the great response! The boys had a lot of fun. The first session had six or seven boys and one adult meet once a week for two hours. It too about seven weeks, and then we repeated the effort with a second round. All bows are shooters! The smallest guy has about a 28-30# bow. He actually made two and the blow gun. Mine came in 65" ntn and about 55#. I carried it on opening day last Monday. One dad and his two sons made birch bark quivers. One young fellow got a blue ribbon at the county fair! Thanks to Brian Keith for setting this up and Bruce Bitterman for his patient guidance.

Great pic! Looks like a fine bunch of young men, bowyers, & future leaders of America! :)

You should be ashamed spreading the addiction like that to small children. >:D Just kidding, the look on their faces is priceless, everyone of them look to be bursting with pride in the work they have done. You should be commended on taking the time to teach them and get them interested in something that does not involve a controller or a remote. Good Job.

Very impressive!

Picture says it all. Good job.
-
They must have had a great mentor/teacher!!!
Getting that many boys on the same page is amazing, Congrats to all!!!
That's an experience they will keep forever :)
-
Another reason to feel good about the future! Someone commented on these future leaders and they really said a mouthful. Big thanks to everyone that shouldered the responsibility and made this happen.
-
Good going by all involved, scouts, leaders, parents and instructors. Those bows look great. Enjoy shooting em Troop 90.

Bruce is indeed a Stand up Guy, but not much of a swimmer (story for another day ::) !
-
Bruce and Brian worked a lot with my troop. We have tremendous parental and community support. Your comments are so very much appreciated!
-
Way to pass it on gentlemen! Thanx for investing in the next generation of bowyers...
Only one complaint, - - - NO FULL DRAW PIX!!! Line those guys back up and have them draw in unison!
-
Well done! Giving those kids an alternative to video games and other high tech gadgetry is a credit to you all, not to mention helping to ensure that the love of bowmaking can continue on to some in the next generation! Dale

That looks like one happy troop! Way to go!
-
This will be my first post on PA and I'm happy to make it as congratulations on your efforts and the results of your scouts.
Good job, Wulamoc!

Thanks PA folks! I know this post is late but I've been away for a week on a family emergency. I appreciate the responses, I knew you all would appreciate the youngin's involvement! Their parents have been fantastic with all the support! :laugh:
