My little girl just got a gift of a bow from a fellow Tradganger yesterday in the mail. Thanks Chuc (Three Arrows)!
At almost 2, she is still figuring it out but loves to carry it around and pluck the string.

By the looks of the above post, I think our sport and future of traditional archery will be just fine. It has already been around for a long time and will continue to do so. Just read my qoute below.
My pride and joy!!!

the kid can shoot!! oh and Berrnie made him famous by including him in his fulldraw pages.
Thanks you old Dinosuar Wrangler.
Brian
These are my two. Logan is 10 and loves to shoot his old 35lb bear grizzly recurve. My daughter will be three later this summer. she has her own bow and loves trying to shoot it.
(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n140/702plmo/HPIM0860.jpg)
Berrnie here is a pic for you.

It appears from these photos that the future of trad will be mostly lovely females. That should make future club shoots all the more fun for young men!
Here's two of mine:

Great pics, gang! And remember, the future is also the past! We've all been there as kids-just havin' fun! Unfortunately, my ex ran off with the photos of my two as children, and did her best to convince them hunting was evil. The result of her efforts is this: daughter teaches hunter ed and works as a wildlife consultant/field biologist, is a range officer for her gun club: her bow has wheels. Son is studying battlefield archeology, is also a range officer at his club, and shoots a longbow with the old man whenever he can get away. Hunting with either of them is like taking a naturalist along! Oh, and mommy eventually lost custody!
Anyone remember teh story on here about one of the selfbow events, where a guy left his kid with some other elders to shoot and when they got back, the boy had an amazing tight group... and the Dad inquries, "How'd you do that?"
Boy replies, "Easy! Just kept pullin and reshooting all that weren't 10's!"
I wish I could go back to a kids simple view of life! :)
Man this thread made my day as did that memory. My apologies for not remembering details ont he story..thought maybe Mojam story some years back, but hey..it's the kid that was the star, not the event!
My granddaughter is only two, but she wants to learn!

Great thread and great future looks like IMO. Thanks For the mention, Brian. I saw a couple other Full Draw pics that I think are also on my TBD pages. However I also saw a bunch that aren't. As soon as i get a chance i need to go through this thread like a harvesting machine and save the full draws for a row (or three) of the "little rascals". Please don't pin me down for time though, I've got a bunch of things going right now. Keep them coming though - I don't mind going back to my "Apple Picking" Days - LOL - and I can save them from here just as well as from PMs and e-mails.
So you'll know - if you haven't seen my Traditional Bows Drawn Pages (and so you won't have any qualms about your kids' pics being on there)visit:
http://residents.bowhunting.net/bsdunn/index.htm
Find the TBD link in the Menu there at the top of the page - it'll take you to 15 pages, of 60 Full Draw pics each (and pretty soon, if I get to this, I'll be on Page 16.
I'll Be Bahk! :archer:
Here is mine
Those are great pics, ive got a set of twin 18 month old daughters that love to copy me practicing my elk & turkey calls. Its hilarious.
Is he following your footsteps Viking??Thats too funny guy! Teache them young :biglaugh:

Julian,
He looks like he's in "predator mode" in that last pic.Excellent!!Definately has his game face on........
What kind of bows are those you have for them??Been considering getting a very lightweight bow for a young nephew of mine.They look to be very well made,and I'm wanting something nice,not a little el cheapo plastic job......
Rhino bows are the way to go with kids. You can get matched arrows and other accessories.
How'd the shoot go?
Went good for alot I guess..............not me tho.I had one of those days.Ones I thought would be tough,weren't.....easy shots I choked for some reason,just couldn't get any consistancy.My bud Dale that I shot with used a Shadow longbow,only the second day he's had it,and smoked me.It was fun,but I was very frustrated with myself.Met Tim and his family,very nice guy.Good luck tomorrow,wish I could have made it.
