Title: 3D Shooting for the first time!
Post by: vermonster13 on July 31, 2010, 06:58:00 PM
My buddy Makenzie went on her first 3D shoot today with myself, vtmntman and vermonter1. A good time was had by all and Makenzie earned her first 3D shoot medal. Hope you enjoy the pics as much as we did the shoot and company.

First target and scores!

Three tens and a first shot with the crew.

Thanks for sharing.  Nothing like being able to share the outdoors with the kids.

Thanks guys. I sent her the link to this thread so she could see the support here.

She also let me know today that she want's to take the hunter's safety course and join me in the woods.

Makenzie lost her dad this past January. Her mother and my wife are best friends(for 21 years or so) and I've taken her and her younger brother Casey under my wing to get them into the outdoors(they've both taken to it spectacularly).

Vermonster, good on you for getting a youngster into our pastime!

I can't think of a better pastime for children, good clean fun, and it instills quality values, too.

We plant the seed and "you know who" waters and grows. You da man!

Hey Vermonster, Makenzie and Casey are lucky to have you, there is nothing like traditional archery to keep youngsters grounded in todays world with all of the peer preasure, its something that will stay with them in a good way for the rest of their lives. Great shooting Makenzie! DK.

I am so glad that Makenzie is finding out about the things that give me so much joy in this life. The beauty and the infinite discoveries that are in the outdoors, handling a bow and being able to put an arrow in the mark, clean air and exercise, it is all good! I hope that Makenzie has many opportunities to get afield, and many happy memories to put in her game bag.

Looking forward to lots of stories and pictures!

Good on you, David, I know you are going to enjoy it as much as the youngsters - but they probably won't think so. Bless all of your hearts.

I hope some day to get a chance to meet you and Makenzie. Keep up the good works Vermonster. I hope Makenzie and her brother both keep enjoying shooting bows and getting to know and appreciate Nature and all it has to offer.

vermonter1 is real new to trad too and we didn't keep score for us guys, but......   ;)  It was close would be my guess.  

Dale's a good sport and hopefully will post up some.
