Title: I've created a monster!
Post by: owlbait on May 22, 2011, 08:08:00 PM
2 months ago my boy Jordan moved in with my wife and I. He's a pretty good kid. Superior athelete, good student, great sense of humor. He loves the outdoors, but had no exposure to Traditional archery, until no. He now has 3 bows, A Wing Falcon, Bear Tigercat, and a Bear Black bear, and he shoots them all well. KHALVERSON is an excellent coach. Here's some pics of the monster that is never too tired to shoot or go bowfishing.

Here's some bowfishing pics from last night. We shot fish with KHALVERSON and his boy Damian. Jordan got his first Trad kill last night. Of course like any smart young man, he had a pic taken with the hawg that Kevin shot!

It's good to have a shooting partner, isn't it?  Tell him to wash the dirt off of his chin, or atleast start eating hotsauce to get it to fill in.  LOL

Good shooting on the carp.  I like the smile.  I do believe he enjoys the sport.

Good job dad!  Keep fueling the spark and you'll have a partner for life.   Mike, I must set you straight on the lad's beard... It's a summer beard!   You see, there's some here... some there... You get the gist   ;) .

It was brutal here yesterday! Hot and humid. The targets in the backyard got quite a workout, and the skeeters finally forced us inside. My boy just moved up to the Black Bear and is digging it. He is certainly strong enough for it but the 37# Wing was a great tool to get his form down.

Another ruined youth... A life pursuing goals and adventure... Shunning modern technology and stifling the economy by seeking rewards that can only be earned not purchased...

What a tradgedy.... (pun intended)  :smileystooges:

Yea, I noticed.If I had a lefty,I'd send it your way.That is like flying Old Glory up side down.  "[dntthnk]"  

Hey Mark,I am just going back out to the shop to spray finish on a particularly nice set of Zebrawood limbs.Any idea who might be able to put them to good use?  :D

Congratulations!  You are going to have a lot of fun together.  It looks like he'd be pretty helpful when it comes time to drag out a deer also.

I cannot see pictures but can imagine giant smiling faces.

You have me thinking about moving home so I can pick up 3 more bows  ;)    :p  

Good stuff right here. I wish I could shoot with my dad more often. Usually its reserved for one or 2 good days a year.

Nothing wrong with that type of monster.  It is good to see that he is building a skill that he will use the rest of his life.

Mike, that is just too cool! I'm raising two daughters, but have gone small game hunting a lot of times with one of my buddies son.  He's now 20 and just finished basic training in Missouri.  Your sons pics remind me of him.  Nothing better than getting out with a kid who just loves it. Thanks.
