He will love that and will remember it forever. If I'd had that when I was 10 there would've been a lot of house cats introuble. That's probably why I didn't have one come to think about it.

Hand made by his grandpa, perfect birthday gift and a good looking set of archery gear at that. Nice!
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

That is excellent.  I was given a dogwood stick and string when I was ten and it is still influencing my life 57 years later.  Congrats Grandpa!

Thanks Guys. It was fun to do. We will give it to him next month. They live 3 hours north of us. Our only grandson.
We have 5 granddaughters. :D
