Nice bow and arrows Rick. Your son looks like he is quite pleased. Looks like he's IDed a nice deer trail in that second woods pic. A natural hunter!

You guys are sure enjoying life, he may or may not remember those moments but you sure will. He's lucky to have a dad that does stuff like that. My dad used to make wooden swords and stuff for my brother and I and I still remember that. Better than any store bought goods. My son is going on 16yrs old and I've temporarily lost him to the female sex so enjoy now.

Rick, this is awesome. The bow and arrows looks great, I had no idea they were so small until I scrolled down.

This makes me almost, almost want to be a dad :) But you guys are doing a great job already.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.  I appreciate it.  It was the most fun bow I have built.  Aaron "helped" with many of the steps.  His favorite was the rawhide procedure.  Thanks again.
