I don't post often but I thought this was worth the effort. I wanted to share 3 bows I built for my grandchildren for Christmas this year. My wife made the bow socks, I made the bows, and put together a dozen arrows for each child. They will be set to go this year! I'm proud of them and thought they deserved the best I could give them.
Special thanks to Kennym for the high quality materials he provided for me. Without his craftsmanship this wouldn't have been possible.
Anyhow....Enjoy the pics. I know I enjoyed the build.

Beautiful. Nice job.
Wonderful bows! The kids'll love 'em!
Smokes alive! NICE!!!

Scott,that is a great Christmas gift for the grandkids. Your wife did a excellent job on the socks as well. Truly a great gift from a very gifted grandfather.
AWESOME JOB! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Great bows, the big fun is shooting with the little ones. I should have had a video camera when my 4 year old grandson bounced his htm tipped arrow off the roof of the neighbor's house. He went into full stealth mode to get his arrow back. His little Maddog shoots just a bit farther than it should. You gotta really watch them at first.
Scott, excellent job!! And please tell your wife the same!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Your grandkids will be in awe,just as I am!! :notworthy:
Good idea on the no-glove also!!
Very nice indeed! Some very good looking bows there. :thumbsup: :clapper:
Outstanding work!
Awesome,great work,congrats.
:thumbsup: Those are great!!! That is gonna be 3 happy kids!
Outstanding Craftsmanship, that will put some smiles on some young faces on Christmas morning!
Probably put a smile on grandparents faces as well!!
Beautiful work,I'm sure there will lots of memories to follow.
Those bows and bowsocks are just beautiful! The kids will be tickled pink to get them. Knowing that Grandpa and Grandma made them by hand will make them treasured forever. Hats-off to two Awesome Grand Parents!! :clapper:
