Title: What's up with the kids these days?
Post by: kbetts on October 17, 2013, 09:10:00 PM
They seem to take to this sport like a duck to water.  I've been watching my daughter progress and she's about ready for a new bow.  Lately, I just observe in amazement.

What great form!  From her anchor, I would say she's training for the Olympics.

Our 4h program offers rifle and archery.  The majority of these youngsters come to the archery range
Agree, they take to it easily.

Great form!  I've found the same when teaching my kids that the less instruction I give the more natural it is for them.  "Arm straight, pull to your cheek, hold and loose".  We were meant to shoot a bow!  Nice work.

Thanks for all of the wonderful replies. The main thing I've done, or actually not done, is push her.  If she wants to shoot, I let her, if she doesn't, oh well.  Its only been recently that I've helped her change her grip on the string a little and getting her arms in line.  The rest is all her.  Funny everyone has mentioned the Olympic thing.  I have a deep yard and we will soon be getting an Olympic style target.  She loves long distance.

The next best part....we are in the process of making my nephew arrows for his fourth birthday on Sunday.  Cousin Cohen is getting his first bow too  :)
