Title: 10 year old's new bow.
Post by: Pappy on June 18, 2008, 06:42:09 am

Have a good friend Ron Prusinski's grand son decided he wanted to make a bow like Granddad
so here it is.He brought it to Cloverdale and I told him I would post it for him,He just wanted to let people know you are never to young to start.He done it all,with a little help with the grip.It is made from Hickory and is about 60 inches N-N 30@22.alto not prefect I thought he done a fine job for a first bow and especially being only 10 years old.It shoot nice and he knows how to handle it.Hope
you enjoy it. :)

That is proof that there is still hope for our youngsters to enjoy the outdoors with stick and string in hand!

He was really proud of it for his first bow, and a fine well behaved young man to boot! That knife Pappy gave him became a permanent fixture around his neck over the weekend. :)

Thanks I will let him know,yes he loved the neck knife and made another little bow with it.I
ask him what kind of arrow he was going to shoot out of it and in just a little while
he came back with one he had made and we shot it.Fine young man. :)

I remember meeting him there. He was always working on something. Cool kid and that is a very nice bow he made. That neck knife he had was pretty cool to. Great to see a kid out doing something instead of playing video games.     Jesse
