Cade and I finally got the chance to hit the woods yesterday. With work,spare time has been at a premium!
When we started the weather was cold and windy, but that would change soon enough......
First shot of the new year for Cade.......

After that shot, out of the blue, he comes out with a classic...."boy those elfs really know how to make nice quivers"....it took me second before I realized what he was talking about. He'd received a new Eagles' Flight bow quiver for Christmas! I had to hold back the from laughing too much,as I agee'd with him. Love that boy!
A little video...

He shot well,and is really coming along as a lefty. This year I'm going to try to work with him a little more on anchor and follow thru. Up till now I've pretty much just let him fling arrows,and he loves it!

Guru, nice pics. Looks like a fun time. Is that a Ben Pearson Bronco your son is shooting?
He sure does get as much draw out of his little body as he can....

"Oh, I hope I didn't break that".......that was precious, I was sitting here laughing when Cade said that, like a true traditional archer. Great day Curt, thanks for sharing.

Next time "grandpa's" coming with us :thumbsup:
I especially liked the OH! after each shot!!!!
Outstanding indeed!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Jake
Awesome, Dude. They keep you young don't they? You've got him headed down the right path.
David
LOL! thanks for sharing.
Curt, the video's are great and I, too, love the OH! after the shot..Sky and I try to stump shoot at least once a week and it's some of the most fun we have with the bow. No pressure and we shoot Dinosaurs, grizzlies, moose, etc....we even shot a '47 Ford a couple of weeks ago.. :biglaugh: Don and Sky
Great stuff!
:clapper:
Looks like you guys had a ball. Thanks for sharing.
That's great Curtis! Thanks for sharing with us! ;) :thumbsup:
Curt, very nice pics and video :thumbsup: I especially like the photo of you two together and Cade catching snowflakes, Joe was doing the very same thing the other day when we went out rabbit hunting together. It's great that you had a break in the action to get a chance to spend a day together, see you on Sat.
Jim
Good stuff Curt. Reminds me I need to get out with mine more!
Shooting with Dad very nice, taking pictures of it all, even better, Catching snowflakes on your tongue, PRICELESS!!! Great stuff right there! Shawn
Oh yea, that's what I am talking about :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
It really doesn't get any better than that Curt!! You're a lucky man, but you already knew that! :D
Holy smokes that's lil Cade?!!??? :scared: And I thought mine were growing.
Great pics and video Curt. Looking forward to us and our boys all sharing a camp together someday!
Really great stuff, Curt - thanx for sharing!
Thats what its all about! Both of you are blessed. You with a beautiful son and he with a great dad!
Great pics!!! I have three month old little girl that i cant wait to get out in the woods!!!!! I will be taking her on her first crappie fishing trip this spring......
That made my day. Great stuff. :thumbsup:
Howdie Dade!!!!! :jumper: :jumper: :jumper: :jumper:
Nice, both of you are doing a great job :thumbsup: .
Now that is awesome and thank you for making my morning. I can't wait until these summer when my grandson and i can do that very same thing. Very neat, thank you Guru.... Vic
How did I get in on this so late :thumbsup: :notworthy: :notworthy:
Fantastic photos and clips Curt. :clapper:
I see Cade being also lefty will have a big choice of great bows as he gets older.
The JLMBH will be even greater in a few years when our children can come with us.
I enjoy shootitng with my boys more then anything else. Nothing better then having a shooter partner where you begin better then them, well at least for a short time and you watch them shoot right past ya...
Cool! Thanks for sharing.

Yes Joe, that's my boy....it's times like this that I realize how much he's grown. I look back at older photos and just shake my head. I so dearly want him to get older so he can start hunting and do more "big kid" stuff with me....but I sure miss the little fella I could once hold in one arm......
Vance....thought you might like it :notworthy:
Thanx guys
Very cool Curt! :thumbsup:
The apple doesn't fall far... :archer:
Soon as it's decent enough outside, I think I'll see if my daughters wanna go stumpin'.
This is good stuff, ttt!
Curt,, me and my boy watched every video and looked at every pic. He was loving as was I. My son shows so much intrest in archery I think I created an archery monster,,LOL,, great post of the family fun and your boy is lookin great with his shooting,, This was my boys reaction literally,, I had enough mind to grab the camera quick,, he ran over and grabbed the fiber glass bow and started pulling and letting go,, If the snow wasn't up to my knees around here I'd take him out too,,He turned two in october,, He's a bowhunting fool already,,LOL,,
