Title: I'm done !!! and I have a good reason to
Post by: LongStick64 on June 09, 2012, 10:21:00 PM
Yep many have gone down this road, myself included.
Took an oath today that from now on no more buying bows for me. I have enough. Why ? because it's time to buy'em for my son. He just turned seven and out of the blue he asked me for a bow. I was tickled to say the least. Made it to the local archery shop and picked up a Martin Matrix recurve for him. Very nice bow to start out with. Gave him the speech about he better remember to do his homework or else the bow goes to his sister. He took his oath and he drew it to anchor, and the old man was none prouder.

My little ones and I often go on fine bee hunting trips.....they never run out of targets,and I never run out of smiles. Get em out with you,and you'll have the best shooting partners you could ever want.

You can't start them down that path at too young an age.

Good job!

Sorry bout that what I meant to say was they are never too young to start down that path.

One thing I have learned is to never push them into something, they'll fall into it if they see you enjoy it as well.

How long until your daughter gets her own bow?  I'm expecting mine to want one when she is about 6.
