Well, I picked up a whip last year from a Tradganger. The darn thing was so quiet that I named her whisper. My son liked the way the bow looked, and shot....so bein the dad that I am, I told him he could have it when he can shoot it.....he was nine at the time, and I figured I would have some years before he grew in to it. So yesterday, my son says..." let's go shootin dad " I ask if he wants to take the Bear out and hs says " no, I can pull Whisper back now...I want to try it " I am glad I have my Morrison, but I will truely miss that bow, but it couldn't be passed on to a better owner.
That sounds perfect to me!! :thumbsup:
I can't wait for that day myself. Good memory there!
That sounds perfect to me!! :thumbsup:
Very smart to be good to him now. He'll be picking your nursing home someday!
Nothing better than shooting with your kids....even if it cost you your favorite bow. Plus now you have a reason to get a new favorite bow!!
What LB said X2!!
Superb!!
Well done! :clapper:
Ha my son stole my Black Widow SA 111....acually he took it over a year or two ago so I gave it and the extra limbs to him for a graduation present! Doesn't get much better than shooting and hunting with your son.
:thumbsup: Doesn't get better then that!
That's awesome! I can't wait to get there with mine!! One is getting close, can't wait!!
That's awesome! I can't wait to get there with mine!! One is getting close, can't wait!!
That is too cool!
Since your boy doesn't want to shoot the bear anymore are you gonna let me take her home again? Seriously though that's awesome!! All the squirrels around here are cowering in fear!!!!
awesome ..
Way to go Dad :thumbsup:
I know how you feel about passing things along. I am eagerly looking forward to the time my grandson is big enough to pull a bow. So far I have about 7 bows "set aside" for him. Do you have any pics of your son shooting that bow?
Jon, great gift from dad. But be prepared for the future, had to hand over 4 bows, my son, my 2 grandson's, and finally my granddaughter. It brings a smile on one's face to see their pleasure. :goldtooth:
Bro. I'm sure it was a nice birthday present from you to Jonathan. Except it was your birthday and not his. But that is the way it goes sometimes.
That is awesome...I never will forget the way I used to look longingly at my dad's K-mag. It was 60 lbs. unfortunately before I was big enough to get it, our house was broken into while we were in Anchorage, and someone tried to string it, twisting the lower limb and separating the laminations. I had one that was 50 lbs...but I always wanted to carry dads lol. Thanks for sharing!
I've lost a couple good bows that way, most recently my 65# Cascade Goshhawk, which I never would have believed my 16 year-old could shoot. He's 5'6" 135# and shoots that bow better than I ever did. Wrapped it up and gave it to him last Xmas. He makes me proud every day. Now my 11 year-old daughter has taken a liking to my Pearson Mach 1, oh well. I couldn't be happier.
Bow is far from lost - sounds like it has a great new home!
Well done Pops!
Couldn't think of a better way to lose a bow. good job Dad
Can't beat that! My son is four and I have a .22 rifle, a 20 ga., and a 45# Dream Catcher set back for him. I just bought the DC. Was on the fence and my wife said go ahead and get it, he can use it someday. Can't wait to take him hunting!
Way to go Dad!! :clapper: :clapper:
Takes a man to be a good Dad you sir are the real deal thatta boy!
Too cool. :thumbsup:
