Title: Grandson's new bow(video)
Post by: Don Batten on December 17, 2007, 02:57:00 PM
I bought this bow at ATAR. It was really hard to wait until now ( his 3rd birthday) to give it to him. It's an Elk ridge. 13@16. I put the snake on last week. I think he likes it. thanks for looking. Don

Dang! Get that boy a borsalino hat! I loved it when he said "Daddy, take your time!"  Looks like he's been shooting for 40 years!  :notworthy:

Thanks for reminding me of my kids.  For my sons second birthday my mom bought him a four foot tall boxing bunny rabbit. The kind the dad gets a stroke blowing it up and the kid can beat on it and it keeps coming back for more.  While I was blowing it up Cody, 26 now, went down the basement.  As soon as it was full we called for him to see his new toy and before we could stop him he shot an arrow right through it's heart.  Flabbergasted, we watched as the air rushed out of the entrance and exit holes, it was the only time his gramma ever laughed so hard, she ended up on the floor and so did the bunny.

Hey, thanks for all the kind words. He's been shooting alot for almost a year. If he keeps his pasion for it, he'll be hard to handle when he gets 15 or 16. If your interested, I put another clip on shooters forum awhile back. Him and my youngest son Will. it was shot back in the summer. thanks again. Don

Amazes me every time I see Taylor how he's progressing! He's a class act and looks good doing it! Watch out dad and granddad he's already a pro archer now he's working on being an archery instructor! Can't wait until John Davis gets in the mix! Good job on the snake skin Don...

That is too cool.  My 2 year old has a little self bow that was made for him that he absolutely loves.  I can't wait until he can line up beside me.  Awesome video.  That is what it's all about.

I always love seeing Taylor and the way he "does" and "speaks", Don, and this video is certainly no exception. (Great job on the snakskins, by "Grampa", on the pretty Elk Ridge bow too.) Thanks for inviting me to the thread, Don.

Tell taylor I said, "Good job, Taylor!"

(That's what Taylor said to me the first time we shot together, over a year ago, "Good job, Bernie!" I thanked him, and then laughed so hard I cried.

Best video clip I've seen in a long time. Gonna get the opportunity to spend several days with my 3 ½ and 1 ½  year old grandsons in a couple weeks and looking forward to flinging some arrows with them.

Thanks for sharing that video. Be sure and preserve it. It will be worth a fortune to him 30 or 40 years down the road.  :thumbsup:

Better form than some of us!  Got to love it! Love the way he kept creeping up closer and closer to the target.   Our first grandchild is coming next month. Oh boy! Hope he/she will like shooting arras! Boy, that put a smile on my face. Thanks, David

I started my son with a golden eagle brave compound bow when he was four, I shot a compound at the time also. He is twelve now and, here he is shooting the flying targets at Denton hill this year.

I think it is great to get kids into archery, my son took his bow to school and the teacher couldn't believe how well he could shoot. My son is in the above pic.

Thanks for all the kind words. I think kids shoot so good because they aren't always trying to figure out what they are doing wrong. They are just having fun. Don
