Ps littlest boy got up from nap and grabbed his bow before pants. Boy has his priorities straight.

Can I dare to make a change to a fred bear quote? He said "nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow" and I believe this is true with all my soul. Archery is how I decompress from work and without it I would be in trouble. But I dare change it slightly "nothing brings joy to a mans heart like watching children learning shoot a bow". Or maybe even better yet "nothing delights a man more than to watch his children practice his instruction".
Anyway makes me smile hopefully you all too. I will take pics at our next family shoot. I know we will have a Christmas morning shoot. Starting to become a family tradition.

I must admit....I laughed even harder when I noticed mismatched socks and I believe shoes on the wrong feet.
Priorities!!! LOL

That is friggen awesome. Truly did bring a smile to my face.

You are correct. Both boys reliably put shoes on the wrong feet. Have no idea why but no matter what I say that's what happens naturally. Told older boy Huckleberry that he couldn't come out until he put shoes and socks on. He raided his sister's clothing drawer just to shoot.
Glad you enjoyed! Most of the year Louisiana can be just a miserable place. But evenings like this are paradise. 65 degrees light breeze and a sinking sun. Just incredible.

As quickly as trad became a 'thing' when a lot of us got too much technology shoved down our throats, it could quickly go back to being old hat. It only takes a generation to drop the ball, and most of the greats from the Golden Age of Archery are gone now. If we can't keep the flame burning, it could flicker out with the next generation.
Dave, I applaud you for getting them started and passionate at an early age. They will always remember it even if they choose not to bowhunt, or hunt at all. :shaka:

JMHO, but I think we put way too little importance on the issue of passing it on and paying it forward WRT kids, even if they are someone else's kids.

Appreciate that. All of my kids love archery but it might just be they love spending time with dad. Either way it's a win. Yes we are charged with keeping the flame burning.
