Title: Just ordered my son a custom bow!!
Post by: Swiper on February 13, 2011, 05:44:00 PM
Just spoke with Mike Rash over at Legends Bows and ordered my 10yrd old son a Spike Recurve!

Amazing he gets a custom bow before his dad ever did.

Mike was a gentlemen to speak with and seemed very passionate in getting our youth into traditional shooting.

I will be posting pics as soon as it gets in!!

I wish I could be there to see the look on his face when he gets his new bow. Post some pics when the new bow arrives. That's awesome.

When my son was 6, I bought him a timber hawk youth recurve. He shot the time out of that thing. Was one of the best things I ever done for him, because he's 12 now and still shoot's trad gear. He shoot's an old bear kodiak mag these day's. There's nothing better than spending time with him in the woods stumping, deer hunting and at the shoot's. Good times! I'm sure he'll love it! Jason

When my son was 10 or 11 i bought him a custom youth bow from Windstorm archery. Alot of arrows flew out of that bow. Now he's 23 and just bought himself a custom Dryad ILF Epic recurve. Swiper, I'm sure your son will love his bow and you'll be spending more time with him.
