That is great,  Very nice of you to take time to teach some kids the fun of building bows.  The bows look beautiful.

I'd say you definitely have started something with those kids, and probably the father as well. Great job! :)

Dad is still working on his, he was busy helping get the armguards done so the boys could shoot. His boy had never shot a bow before this one, but didn't take him long to start hitting  ;D
