My son, my dad, and I went on our first stumpin' outing yesterday afternoon. The wind was really kickin' here, and although it was 40 degrees out, it felt much colder. As a result, the outing wasn't a long one. However, I was able to snap a couple of pictures with my cell phone. Just thought I'd share some of them...

Another Lefty. Be proud Dad
Thanks guys. I appreciate the feedback.
Gray Buffalo, we're both lefties and proud of it, for sure!
fireball31, he's definitely got better form than I do...I know that for certain! I think he's been studyin' Terry's "form clock" while I'm at work during the day or somethin'!
Very nice. Is that snake skin on the back of your boy's bow?
Thats what it's all about, Hunting buddy for life. Nothin better.
That's great looks like fun!
:archer:
Lee, kinda. They're actually snakeskin-patterned limb covers made by "onestringer".
30pointbuck, I'm hopin that'll be the case!
Outstanding. Thank you for sharing the outing and please cherish the memories!. :thumbsup:
Great pics, be sure to save them digitally and have some prints made, you don't want to loose those. If you haven't already, it's time to start a photo album. Thanks for sharing. :thumbsup:
Yes you are both blessed,enjoy these great moments,they create a bond that will last an entire life.
Derek, your boy looks to be a natural. Enjoy him while you can, they grow up too fast. Keep shooting
That is awesome. Love your sons hat :readit: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Awesome form,that little guy has got it figured out. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Might have been short, but I bet is was a sweet trip! Great pics! Jason
priceless
i wish my form was that good
give the little man a few years and he may be schoolin dear ol dad
Thanks again for lookin' everyone. I appreciate the kind words!
Khalverson, I'm pretty new to Trad myself...so I'd say he'll be schoolin' me in a few months as opposed to a few years...and nothing would tickle me more!
Very nice, Derek! You should be proud!
Kenny :biglaugh:
Looks like a great time, I'll need to get my lil one out again soon.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow! That is the coolest thing I've seen this week!
Stay right with im, they grow up too fast....
Love it! Cant wait for my boy to be able to go with me.
What better way to spend the day than that with the great weather we had in PA today.
I think it was a wonderful way to spend your time.
I know that time spent will pay off big dividends.
Thank you for sharing these precious moments with us.
God bless,Mudd

The only thing I would've changed about it was that it wasn't today. It sure was beautiful out, you're right! It was actually yesterday...a bit windy, but no biggie. It was still an awesome time!
Thanks again to you all...for your example, and for your kindness. Trad for me wouldnt be the same without the "gang"!
Another kid lost to longbows . . . :clapper:
Here I've been holding back on my stumpin' recently just because of some deep, arrow-eating snow, all while a kid shorter than my waist height was out slaying them. Thanks for the motivation to get out there!
That is great stuff! Taken down the stump population, that's what I'm talking about! :thumbsup: :clapper:
That is awesome!!
Thanks for sharing ! adjusting my our focus! :clapper:
That's great. That is what being a parent is about. Spending quality time with the kids.
Good times.
Great pictures and it It looks like an even better time was had! I got to say he looks right at home in that hat and has incredible form (I'm jealous of it)!
I didn't realize you guys were fellow lefties! My kids are all lefties as well it makes it cool knowing that they can get use out of all my toys when the time comes for it.
