As most of you know Guru (Curt Cabrera) is a master at capturing treasured moments hunting with his kids. I just don't think there is a better picture than one with your kid shooting or hunting with a traditional bow. Let's see your kid's hero pictures, shooting pictures, hunting pictures, or just being with you hunting.
I'll start with a couple of my favorites. This is my daughter Jennifer shooting when she was much younger.

This is her last year! She's come a long way!

Here's my wife and 3 of my kids. The fourth is our oldest at 22 and is just now thinking she should hunt with me.

This is this Past September on our annual Michigan Longbow Association squirrel hunt. That's my oldest son, Nicholas 7, in the front, and I'm 2nd from the right. Also pictured from l-r Greg, Steve and Matt. It was fun seeing him try and stalk a chipmunk through a briar patch. Memories were made that day. LOL

Here's a couple with mine
(http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h467/outdoortraditions/IMG_1052.jpg)
Tanners first mule deer (his little brother loves to get in on all the hunting trips also)
(http://i1111.photobucket.com/albums/h467/outdoortraditions/IMG_0758.jpg)
Tanners first buck
Tanners first whitetail doe, not my first deer but it was the first time we both scored at the same time.
This is awesome already! Keep them coming!
Tyler, Tina, and Jen from last spring break in Florida!

Nice family trip. Where in Floriday did you go for the trip? My wife is wanting Disney, I'm wanting to hunt. Maybe we can compromise, and do them both.
I'll play. Here's one of my kids on an early season scouting trip last year...

This is (left to right) my daughter (non-hunter but good sport with the camera), my son and family friend (who we helped nudge into trad hunting)...

Here's another of my daughter who has apparently stumbled upon the ultimate stand hunting technique...
(http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/GingivitisKahn/20090901_ac_05.jpg)

It's a lot of fun seeing how some of these youngsters have grown up in archery.
Steve H., you did a good job on young Pinney! Hopefully, he's appreciative of his daddy proxy and now that he's a big time DDS rolling in cash, he's taking you on all expense paid exotic hunts all over the world! :)
Hey Terry, great thread!!!!!!!
Bill, coming from the master at involving their kids, that is a great compliment. I can't wait to see all the great adventures you'll have your family involved in. You've already got a great start and it won't be long before you'll be stalking brown bear with the boys! I know it's on their list! :)
Love to see the kids having fun :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
This is a pic of my son Sam and I on our way out last month after a nice time in the stand.
Sam is also my avatar with his first traditional harvest on our old home place in South TX. Boy did that rabbit taste good!

Terry, I named him Schafer before I could afford one of the bows. But I did name him after Paul, he was born the year after Paul died. Good thread! I wish I had more pics of my daughter but I guess she decided it wasn't for her anymore.
No kids of my own, but lots of nieces & nephews. Here's one of my nephews at the end of a morning sit with me in a double ladder stand during an almost-annual trip back east.
Good times.

My kids grew up pre-digital cameras. But I have a few of my grandsons first day shooting his longbow.
These are July 2009, he was 1 year and 5 months old. (This is actually the first arrow he ever shot. Grandma kept telling him to look at the camera.)
Okay, Your fingers go here....
(http://i546.photobucket.com/albums/hh403/hlewis2/DSCF2031.jpg)
You hit where you look, stop looking at the camera..
(http://i546.photobucket.com/albums/hh403/hlewis2/DSCF2030.jpg)
Look at the deer, not the camera!
(http://i546.photobucket.com/albums/hh403/hlewis2/DSCF2032.jpg)
Have a few of him shooting the 3d turkey without my help. Just have to find which card they are hidden on. He will be 3 in February and is actually doing pretty well by himself.
Cool pictures! Keep them coming! Great thread! :thumbsup:

I have two boys that are grown so I had to borrow a kid (Edwin) from my buddy. Edwin's dad approached me one day and said his boy was interested in archery but neither he nor his son knew where to start. He knew I shot a bow so he asked if I could help. I was happy to oblidge.

This thread is awesome. I actually sent a link to it to my oldest daughter, 11. All three girls love to shoot, but she's the one who takes it somewhat seriously.
Here she is on the 3D range. She missed the alligator and chose to try and take it on bare-handed...
