This is just a random thread to show the next generation(s) of shooting. I have two kids, a 3 year old daughter, Abby Lee, and a 2 year old son, Beau Wade. Beau is always wanting to do everything I do. Last year when we were at the Howard Hill I found a bowyer who sold cheap($20) self bows designed for kids. I knew I had to get my kids one.
Disclaimer: I get more excited than them while they're shooting.
Here are a few of my pics/videos. I hope you enjoy it. Remember to train the next generation.
Here is Abby Lee March 2017:

Beau Wade's Smile says it all.

Follow through: We're working on their form. They just don't understand anchor and back tension yet..

I've had mine shooting since 3 or 4 and now my daughter is 8 and my son is 9 and they still love it. I recently got my son the Sammick Shadow from Lancaster an man its perfect at 25lbs. He just started archery with 4H an is wanting to shoot a local 3D this summer. I highly recommend blunts for their arrows. They love stumping an shooting plastic soda bottles.

Fantastic...
I want to get them something a little better in the near future. This bow definitely serves the purpose, but i've caught Beau Wade eye balling my bows and I think he is wanting something a little nicer.. ;)
Good to see
Great pics guys. They grow up fast!! Enjoy the journey. :thumbsup:

I picked up one of those bows at the same shoot. My grandson is on again/off again at age five, but when he is on, he gets really fired up.
Great to see!!
