Just took these while I was sitting on my deck. The boys had all their homework, and chores done, so it was time for them to have a little fun, and at 12 yards, I think they are doing outstanding.

You're raising them right, good on ya'!
They both have excellent form! That certainly led to a target they can be proud of. Congratulations on the fine shooting, and thanks for sharing pictures of such a happy family.
Killdeer :thumbsup:
I really like how they could care less about the toys in the sandbox, and would rather shoot bows till their fingers fall off, or it's bedtime. Which ever comes first.
Great pics Grapes.
good stuff. Hope to see you at Hartwick Pines. I am going to help out John V. with the VETs who are coming to hunt.
I will be arriving after work on that Friday, sometime around 8 (ish). I've never hunted the Grayling areas before, and I'm really looking forward to it, not to mention, I get to meet more of us (Vets). Next weekend I'm taking my oldest to do the MLA squirrel hunt in Dansville, then not to upset my "Little Tanker", he gets to join us the next day over near Clarkston for some more squirrels.
I really love this time of year.
Lots of fun memories being made! I loved my dad and we had lots of great times fishing, small game hunting, and hunting old coins. I think of him all the time.
It would have been terrific to have also enjoyed archery with him but he was raised in a time when every bullet or shell needed to result in something to eat.
Great time and fun you will remember for a lifetime... Good job !!
you are a good dad.things like that kept me out of trouble all these years.keep up the good work,steve
Great shooting guys! Thanks for sharing the pictures sir!
Fantastic pictures!
Fine looking young men,they have great form already,looks like you started them right.
Thanks for sharing,you are blessed.
Those youngsters can shoot!
Totally awesome!!!
Thank you for sharing!!
God bless,Mudd
:thumbsup:
Dang, they already shoot better than I do! :laughing:
Great pics and they must have been studying the shooting form clock because they are both nearly perfect.
It's pictures like these that make me regret sometimes that I never had any kids of my own, but I have 4 nephews now and my older brother's boys are about yours ages so I'm sure I'll get plenty of time in the field with those two. They are just about the age that they are wanting to go now.
Excellent!!!
I love it. I love watching my boys shoot also. It is good to see the youngens active.
"Shoot til their fingers fall off".. I love it! (we use to do that as kids), still do sometimes.. Can't wait til you post pics of them in 10 years; with that form they'll be great shots. Good job Dad..
awesome!!!
Very cool!
Trust me. They grow up soooo fast. Enjoy the moment. Looks like there is a lot of arrow to grow into.
Wait till they are shooting YOUR bow, using YOUR arrows, wearing YOUR boots, using YOUR tab, wearing YOUR socks, after eating all YOUR food...
It`s then you can look back and smile, knowing you done good!
Most excellent my friend!!! :thumbsup:
Fantastic :thumbsup:
Excellent!! :clapper:
Good on ya Grapes !
We can give our kids stuff but...... it is not stuff they will remember.... it is the time their father spent with them ! When we give our time we have given them the greatest gift. Cannot wait to watch them fellers grow up on the gang here like Cade, Skyler,Mason and all the others are doing.
Good liven
I took a 3/4" diameter stick that was 2 feet long, and stuck it in the ground in front of the target and told both of the boys whoever could hit that stick 2 times out of 3 arrows from 7 yards, I will take them deer hunting. A good friend and member on here, Glennbob, was over shooting with us, and we just sat back and watched as my oldest hit the stick not twice, but 3 times in a row. Man I felt my chest puff up big at that moment. He will be joining me during the upcoming opening weekend in 7 more days. As for this weekend, I'm taking my oldest on the annual Squirrel Hunt the Michigan Longbow Association puts on, then Sunday will find the 3 of us along with Glennbob, in the woods for rabbits/squirrels/stumps/nature hike. I love this time of year.
My son has two boys about the same ages who are being brought up with bows in their hands, just like yours. What a pleasure to watch their enthusiasm and skills develop!
The competition between them is what is fun to watch. My oldest, Nick, actually shot his brothers arrow in half this week, and it really ticked Luke off. I had to break that one up, but it was still fun to see evolve.
Awesome stuff Mike, Keep up the great job
Excellent....great to see that. :clapper:
Very cool, perfect form as well! Can I get a few lessons from them??
Nice job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
