Title: Thanks Johnny Henegar and a little girls first shot
Post by: steadman on May 20, 2012, 10:22:00 PM
I have to give a HUGE Thank You to Johnny Henegar (Johnny Wayne). Through a couple emails and pm's he ended sended my little girl MaKayla a hand me down bow that his girl had out grown. This is an amazing act of unselfishness and I want to recognize him.

So it shows up a few days ago, and the first thing Kayla asks is if it's a bow for her. I hadn't ever told her, so it brought a grin to think she was wanting to shoot with Dad   :)

She was so excited to open it up

What she found lit up her life, and mine. To see her excitement to just get this wonderful gift was priceless   :)

Fast forward to today. She was finally able to shoot her new bow. I couldn't get her to stop!! She just kept asking to do it more and more. Giggling like only a 3 yr old can after every shot

Looks like I have a shooting buddy for quite awhile, and I couldn't be prouder or happier!!
Thanks Johnny!!!   :thumbsup:

She looks like she has grown a foot since I met her in August. That smile is something to live for.

I'm humbled by the publicity Ryan, thanks for posting those pics though, your little girl's smile is all the thanks I need  :)  

Me and Maddie (my daughter) are both really glad Kayla is happy with it and putting it to good use - Enjoy and thanks again  :)

Thanks and cheers to all involved. It doesn't get any better than this!!!
