Skyler has been doing chores for 6 months to try to save for a new bow. There is nothing like the look on kid's faces in the morning on Christmas and it only gets better when the present is something you enjoy doing together.

Mike at Mad Dog and I got to talking and this is what he came up with. I turned out beautiful.

It pulls 30# at his 22 draw and can fling an arrow. Bunnies beware!

As I put him to bed last night and asked what he wanted to pray about, all he could talk about was his new bow. Do you think it can fling an arrow through a bunnie? What about a grouse? Can we tune it for Zwickies? When's the next hunt?
Yea I was smilling.
That's just awesome. Skyler is a lucky boy. :thumbsup: :campfire:
Mitch that's what makes it all worth it. Looks like it fits hims good.
She turned out to be a shooter!

I know I need to clean but when it is 5 outside we have to move inside.

Sky sometimes pulls the bow left on release.

This kill was from 12 yards.
I'm jealous. Ain't no reason a kid that young needs to be shooting like that.
He has too cuz during the hunt the trash talken starts and he's fair game.
One turkey hunt, my buddy Marc could not hit a barn. Every time Sky talks to Marc he reminds him of the time he missed 9 turkeys... with a wheelie bow! Some times he just calls to remind Marc. All this from a 7 year old.
He shoot with me almost every time I do.
He is a lucky young man and you are a lucky father. Enjoy each other and thanks for the pictures.
You are a lucky man Mitch, a shooting partner!! And he stands on the RIGHT SIDE OF THE BOW :thumbsup: :D I have something for him, please PM me a address and I will get it sent out.

Brent,
I am very blessed.
Sky spends a lot of time doing the things I love to do. I am very thankful to the mods for keeping this site a safe place to read with kids. We enjoy reading about the hunts and seeing all the bows. You all play a part in the raising of a boy to a man and as a father I am greatful for your input.
Good stuff there Mitch :scared: :scared:
Great Pics and good luck, Sky!.......I've got a Left handed Sky also.....Don
