Title: Dryad for my 12 yr old son arrived!!
Post by: Tsalt on December 20, 2012, 01:18:00 AM
Well... I'm a proud dad.  After getting his first bow kill with a compound last year, my son told me he wanted to go traditional.  I might have influenced him... a little.    :jumper:

I got my Dryad through the Black Friday sale for my younger daughters Christmas gift. She's shooting an old 'school bow' recurve and this new Phoenix Lite will be a great upgrade for her.  The only downside is she broke her wrist a week ago snowboarding, so she's going to have 8 weeks until she can shoot the bow!

I edited to add a picture as it's bad manners to say you got a new bow here and not post pics.  ;)    :D

Well that's what it's all about isn't it?
Providing tools and inspiration for the next generation to carry the torch forward.

We are proud here at Dryad to have a little piece of the story.

Now lets get some pics in the field and share the excitement.

Getting the string nock point set up made me want to take it out and fling a few arrows!!!  It's a beautiful little bow and my daughter's going to be very pleased.

Thanks again for you great service.

Thanks Tim,

It'll heal before we know it.  Enjoy shooting with your son.  I have a great time just watching my daughters shoot.
