Erin has been shooting off & on since she was 3 1/2 & only the past 2 years has she really sparked the intrest to shoot more.
I've been taking her to 3D shoots especially Traditional Rendezvous around here for 2 years & I'm like a kid in a canady store when I have my little girl with me & she is a troper too where she'll shoot all the 3D targets, Field & then some novelty shoots that her daddy will & be happy that she did.
I'm not pushing her but I'm keeping her in the Bare Bow Recurve like me in hopes that she stays with it & becomes a possible future Olympic hopeful.
Now her accuracy isn't the best but she does alright for the ammount that she does shoot & here recently she has agreed to shoot in the basement at least twice a week with me & maybe a indoor or outdoor tournament as long as it doesn't interfere with her Girl Scout activities.
Well I just received her custom bow from Bill Griffen of Zona Custom Bows & I thought I wouls share some photos with y-all.
My Recurve has some bees wax rubbed on it because I've been taking it out hunting with me & the velcro pad is for my arrow holder but as you can see both bows are very similar to each other, now to get her shooting it. :bigsmyl:

For the life of me I can't find the pictures of her shooting her green glass Jennings bow.

Yes Katherine my 3 year old loves to shoot her lil Sioux long bow, just a little too excitable at times.
Erin is finally slowing down some & paying attention to her shot sequence more which is a huge plus.

He did but with his regular job of being a truck driver he let it laps.
I actually met him a few months back & when I ordered my recurve from him I went through his listing on Archery Talk.
Not sure if I can post a competitive sights link on here though.
