Title: Need a bow for my grandson
Post by: bowkevin on April 22, 2011, 07:15:00 AM
Just curious if anyone here can build a bow to fit my grandson. He's not very big, and Im sure he has a very short draw length and would need a lower weight bow. I figure if I can get his broadheads sharp enough he should be ready to hunt by this October. BTW here is his picture we took the other day.  (http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/aa391/bowkevin1/loganandme-1.jpg)

Is he a lefty or righty? Looks like he's keeping that left thumb handy so I'm thinking he's a lefty.

Looks like maybe a 7 pound bow at maybe 19 inches. Hard to tell though with all the linen backing around him....

I think a squirrel skin back quiver might be about the right size for his arrows.


Handsome young lad there.   :thumbsup:

Better get him some camo also-Deer can see blue from what I have read.

Respectfully, how about "LogJam" for Mr. Logan James a handle.  Many good hunts ahead of you for sure.
