Title: 2 1/2 year old flight shooter with video
Post by: wingnut on November 28, 2012, 06:49:00 PM
My grandson Henry comes over to shoot his bow almost every day. His favorite is "long shooting" as he calls it.

Here is an example.

We had to move him back after he shot one over the road at over 60 yds. LOL

Your grandson is the same age as Mine Mike. My grandson  Mark likes to pull it back and let it go too. LOL

Yep we are having so much fun with it we decided to offer the little bow for sale. Check out the Sprite on our webpage if you have a little one in need of a first bow.

It is about 8 pounds or so.  Not an exact science when that small.

Jeff came over this afternoon and had seen the video so he wanted to see Henry shoot.  Henry is quite the showman so he showed his "long shoot" his "fast shoot" and then we went out in the field.  I found a pecan that had fallen in it's husk and asked if he wanted to try and shoot it.

I through it out about 5 yds and he pulled back and almost hit it to our amazement.  He tried a few more times and grew bored and wanted to long shoot again.  So we went back and forth in the field shooting both ways until we got back to the pecan tree.  Henry announced he wanted to shoot the nuts again.  We said OK go for it.

He hauled back and tried to shoot one out of the tree. . ..LOL  almost got it too.

That's pretty cool, Mike! I guess we'll have to be watching out for 'ol Henry on the 3D courses in a couple years too.

Henry is a genius! He's figured out how to shoot at pecans and "long shoot" at the same time. Good for him!
