Title: Meet my friend
Post by: Mudd on March 21, 2011, 04:25:00 PM
This is my friend William.

William just turned 9 a day or so ago and I far as I know this was his 1st try with a traditional bow.(Will just affirmed it.)

So without further ado, here is..... Will, One of Robin's Merry Men.

I think Willie P might be a natural.

Thanks for looking.

God bless,Mudd

Thanks stick_string.

Her are a couple more shots.

None of these are duplicate shots.

If you look at the upper limb against the tree you can tell they are not the same photo but that's about the only difference I can see.

For a 9 year old he was very consistent.

Thanks guys!

I was amazed at Will's accuracy. I really do think he's about as natural a shooter as I've had the pleasure to work with.

I hope I can get him to stay with it.

God bless,Mudd

It looks as though to me that in the very near future you may have a hard time keeping up. Mr Mudd better start now  putting in additional hours of practice to keep up.  There is a great deal to be said about youth when combined with eagerness and desire.   William dose seem to posses both plus a good portion of natural ability.

That is what it is all about, passing on the passion to the next generation so it will live on and they can enjoy what we have enjoyed.
