Let's proudly post pics of our future! Our kids are gonna love this!I did resize this pic so I REAALLY hope it change, if not sorry Admin, I will figure out what I am doing wrong. :pray: (http://i1353.photobucket.com/albums/q661/critman1/071_zps9ceb0ff9.jpg)
I don't have kids of my own, and due to school policy I couldn't post picts, but I will say I had three students forgo the opportunity to compete in an archery competition with another school so that they could shoot recurves in our school competition. This is a NASP based program that I run as an after school club. After seven years I found another school that was willing to adjust their time of teaching archery to match when I met with my kids. Since they only have the compounds used in the NASP program they wanted to keep it all the same bows. Knowing that well in advance these three liked shooting the recurves better and decided to shoot the bows they liked. Two of the three scored in the top five for their grade and would have competed.

Can hardly wait until he can stand and shoot along side me.
My daughter just got a new bow. We looked at a bunckh of different bows and she picked a Hill style bow from 7 lakes :D
We got pounded with a few good snowstorms since she got it(snow was almost chest deep on her!) and have been shooting in our neighbor's haybarn. The snow is just about gone,so now we can start practicing in the yard.

This was a day we were shooting our spray painted "deer". He made this shot and screamed "heart shot!"

The grandson from a few yrs ago. He just turned 7 yesterday and still likes to shoot with me now and then. Notice where his arrow is compared to mine :archer2:

Um, he hasn't expressed any interest yet, but I'm hopeful lol.
About a month ago when he was 2 months old. I'm a proud papa.

I've taken my oldest out scouting and rabbit hunting before and she absolutely loves it. As for the the little one... this was her first time out (late rabbit season). She has a lot of spunk and confidence, which is good, but she also tends to not be a great listener at times, which isn't so good when you're trying to teach her something new... like shooting a bow, or being quiet in the woods!

Ok guys here's my kido with here Martin Protege. She began shooting while we were stationed in CT the first time and she continued while we were in Guam where we had weekly bow lessons together each Tuesday. We still try for lessons but it seems to happen about every two weeks now that she is in first grade. She enjoys it and it is a good skill for her to have. When she outgrows the Martin I would like to finish a Hill-style bow blank from Mike at 7 Lakes Longbows. As you can see she is growing...

My grandson, DJ. Some days it just doesn't pay to be a dinosaur.
Here is my son(10 yrs old) at the GORH last month(small guy on the left in the black and grey coat. He was able to get a shot off a rabbit and scored a spot in the clout shoot off where he ended up winning a knife.
Heydeerman(far right in first pic) on this site put on a great hunt and shoot that weekend. You couldn't have cut off my sons smile that day. He was hooked on shooting his recurve before that day. Now he has swallowed the whole hook. He is one of us now!
