Title: Saturday Stumpin' with Cade
Post by: Guru on January 18, 2010, 09:30:00 PM
Not a better way to spend an afternoon with my boy!

The result of the first shot of the day...he made a good shot, but had a bad outcome...

Curt,
Your times spent with your son are precious, and sadly so short because he will grow up before you know it.  Loved your story, and esp. the photos.

Title: Re: Saturday Stumpin' with Cade
Post by: Bowhunter4life on January 18, 2010, 10:45:00 PM
That's simply awesome Curt!  I've had my girls out from time to time, but they never venture much further than the backyard range, and they are definitely "fair weather shooters."  ;)

My 11 year old shoots with the same hand you do, and actually hits what she aims at for the most part... My 8 year old really just likes to see the arrow fly, and sprays her arrows all around the backyard... can't blame her for that though!

Children are our future, I believe it was said, take a child hunting and you won't be hunting for your child.  And you have obviously lit the fire in your young man, which will pay you back 10 fold over the years to come.  Hope to share camp with you and Cade in the years to come!

Your pics set a goal for my son and I.  I can't wait to take him stumping.  He just got his first bow and arrow set for Christmas.  At 3 years old, he is more interested in seeing me shoot his bow and pulling arrows out of the target.  His set needs weaker arrows than the carbons that came with the bow.  I hope some dowelling will work.  I'm sure he will be shooting it soon.

Curt, thanks for sharing with us that stump shooting trip you had with Cade. Times like that you and Cade have together are priceless. Also it's wise of you to show Cade how much fun it is to stalk stumps so when (all too soon!) girls and gasoline make the scene, you will still have your best hunting buddy ready to go fling arrows with you.  John

I LOVE the look on his face when he's drawing and shooting. That's a hunters look right there. There isn't any other way to describe it!

You have something special. I love shooting with my Dad. I wish we'd have gotten into all this business when we were younger. I had a BB gun in my hand at Cade's age. That is impressive!

I have a little girl due in May. I can only hope that she will take an interest in archery.

Hey Cade...great job letting your dad go stumping with ya!!!

Always remember...take your dad hunting, so you don`t have to hunt for your dad!!! Always spend time with your dad, so he knows how important he truely is. It makes him brave enough to handle the future with ease.

Awesome job Cade!!!  :thumbsup:
