Lol!  Oh yeah!  That's definitely a win win situation.  The rules change from time to time to.  For instance, if all four of my kids are competing, then the top five scores get blizzards.  Of course only the top score gets braggin' rights.  The highest honors of any competition.   Thanks for the kind words everyone.  Josh

Great looking bow.  She's lucky.

[Carson (CMB)]

Way to go Dad! The whole set-up is first class.  I love seeing the nice arrows and quiver to go with a nice kids bow.  She looks like a natural.

sorry for not understanding. but what are blizzards?

[Josh B]

Thank you fellas!  Squirrel, I don't think mere words can describe a blizzard.  But I will give it a try.  Over here in the states we have a sort of ice cream parlor/restaurant chain called Dairy Queen that offers a soft serve ice cream based confection that has a huge bunch of optional flavorings.  You can get a blizzard with any number of kinds of crushed candy pieces, different kinds of fruit pieces, crushed cookies, chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough, chunks of cheesecake and different syrups all blended up and served in a cup.  The options are almost endless!  My personal favorite is banana split with m&m pieces .  Chocolate chip cookie dough and reeses pieces being a close second.

Damn that makes me wan't to join in with you guys over there as soon as possible. well when ive got the money im headin over there and doing some hunting, not being able to use my bow to slay things over here is just killing me. wish i lived in the time where every man was required to use a bow by law!

The girls always have the best shooting form.

Awe now come on Doc!  Why ya wanna go make me hungry   Now i got a hankerin for a snickers blizzard

[Josh B]

Man! I know what you mean.  I'm hanging out in Denver and its 65 degrees.  A blizzard sounding pretty good right about now!

Thanks Carson!  Here's a pic of her quiver.  Its a case skinned opossum.  Josh

[RyanY]

Very cool. I love the finish work you did with the backing and handle. Perfect bow for her!

[Squirrelslayer]

cool quiver too! did you make that aswell?

[Josh B]

cool quiver too! did you make that aswell?

Yes I did.  All my kids have critter quivers that I made for them.  My oldest daughter has a coyote quiver, the one you see here is a 'possum, my youngest daughter has a skunk and my little boy has one made from a large red mink.  He wants one made from an alligator but those are in short supply in KS.  But that is being worked on and I appreciate the effort that has been put forth in getting one.  Josh

do you tan the hides or just leave them to dry?
