My wife and I had the extreme pleasure yesterday to attend the 6th Annual Eastern Ohio Traditional Rendezvous with a friend of mine. First off, I want to thank Robert for allowing my wife and I to tag along. He brought along his nephew and great nephew. Brandon is 8 1/2.....going on 9. He has been blessed with having a Great Uncle that is not only a very good shooter himself (Robhunter), but is quite a good "teacher" too. It really shows in this young mans form. It is such a breath of fresh air to be around these young'uns with all their spunk and desire. The "flashbacks" that were caused by shooting with this quite talented young man were worth more than the price of admission.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. He was going about 100 miles per hour as most young boys do and was indeed a pleasure to spend time with. Thank-You......Robert, Wayne (Brandon's Dad), and most of all Brandon for allowing us to be a part of your fun.

Oh, and by the way.......the red and white fletched arrows are Brandons.

This is a really nice shot, both camera wise and arrow wise. This stuffed dog had a bone in his mouth and Brandon promptly "removed it".

A GREAT day spent with even BETTER people. Thanks again........Robert, Wayne, and Brandon !!!
Cool pics!
Don,You look nothing like your avatar. :laughing: And Brandon has his game on, He has great form.Thanks for the pics.
That is why I love traditional archery. My boys, 6 and 5, are the same exact way. They would shoot till there fingers fell off if I let them.
They actually had to drag him away.......he was still wanting to shoot. Robert said that they hadn't been in the truck for 5 minutes and he was sound asleep.
Dreamin' sweet things about his first traditional shoot.........no doubt.
Oh, to be so young again.

I was at that shoot as well. I wish I had seen Brandon in action. Looks like he could've given me a few tips on my form! :D
How cool is this? Way!!!
Thank you for sharing this young man with us. It's a breath of fresh air to see youngsters shooting and with such great form too.
God bless,Mudd
Brandon and I want to say thanks to Robert, Don and Don's wife. We had a great time at the shoot Brandon love's to shoot bow's (as you can tell) thanks again on all the comment and a great post.
thanks wayne.
Thanks to my friends Don and Brenda for this wonderful post. This was my nephew Brandon and his dad's first traditional shoot. I beleive they are hooked. As you can see Brandon listens very well.
Cool post and really good looking country....
I dont think there is a much cooler thing than seeing a dad taking his kid or kids out into the outdoors and letting them play. It might be archery or just catching grasshoppers my hat is being tipped to you great job and great pics thanks you
That is what it is all about!
My son is raring to go this weelend...he is 14 now and your pics brought back fond memories. Thanks for sharing.
These are some really great pics Don!I found the bone behind the dog when we pulled the targets.That Brandon is a really good shot! I'm glad people enjoyed the critter course. Danny
Great pics it's nice to see the future trads
Thanks Danny........my wife always tags along on the shoots with us and she is getting pretty darn good at taking pictures.
We'll definately see you again next year. We all had a GREAT time and plan on making the trip every year. You guys do an EXCELLENT job with setting the targets as well as having a FANTASTIC place to hold the shoot. This shoot has to be one of the most enjoyable overall that is held in Ohio.

Very cool!!!!
