As a Panther's fan (no stones please) it hurts a little to make them, but he's all into the Patriots. He's a cool kid headed for a bright future. I bought him a lifetime hunting fishing license when he was born. If he never hunts then oh well, but at least he likes shooting arrows from his recurve  :) .

I look forward to the day when we can go stumping together.

nice arrows Bud......but he is young, and if you mentor him right, he may grow out of that Patriots thing........  :goldtooth:

This is a little off topic but as long as we are talking football, my favorite team is the one beating the Patriots today.

If he was a Lions fan, they'd have to be broken, like his playoff dreams. LOL

Hi Bud,
Great looking arrows. I'd shoot'em and I hate the Pats!  Remember the Super Bowl in the snow and Casey, the best kicker in the NFL, misses the FG to send it into OT....aw never mind, doesn't pay to open old wounds.  Any idea why the GPAA and TTA haven't updated their 2014 schedules yet?  I hate the Stick & Wheel shoot got rained out a couple weeks ago, I was coming. But all the clubs ought to be cranking up in January?

Thanks Richard and no idea on the shoots.

Rockingham is still without a home. Hope to see you at some this year.

Thanks Rob. And all.

Hope Aaron Hernandez wasn't his role model. Cool looking arrows, even from a Denver Donkey fan.

Maybe a little blood on them would really make them some Aaron Hernandez special arrows.   :readit:    :laughing:    
All kidding aside, should be some nice arrows to make this kids day.

There's silver metallic hairline cresting between the colors. About 1/32" thick. My camera just sux.... And my photography.

Now to make him a back quiver. I may try to paint the helmet logo on the back quiver but you probably won't see pics of that, cause I stink at art too.   ;)

And he has never mentioned Hernandez. Like I said, he's a bright kid and is on top of the team and their stats as players. He even knows their positions and the position's responsibilities.

He loves his recurve and I heard he cried when he recently broke an arrow that I had given him a few years ago.  1/4 inch woodies. These NEP arrows are 5/16.


He's also the same kid that figured out if you shake up the cheap store brand cans of soda kept in the garage and then shoot them with an arrow they kinda explode. Mom was not too happy at first, until she realized the cans were set aside to be tossed away anyway and then she tried shooting some herself  :)  And yes, he did it outside. Told ya he was bright  ;)

Got the quiver finished (mini Hill style) and made him another set of arrows. The RWB ones his Dad said he might not want to shoot so I made some in ugly Green Bay/Dallas combo colors so if he breaks one he might not care  ;)

All joking aside, as long as he's shooting arrows I really don't care. I like to see kids enjoying archery.
