Last week while on a late season cow elk hunt (with rifles :o :eek: ) I took some time out to hunt some cottontails with my two grandsons who came along on this hunt.
The older one on the right (ten)is Mister DIY! He saw a youtube vid on building a pvc bow and as soon as christmas break started he set too building one. It's not like he doesn't have any other bows, since I've built at least three for him! His mom was afraid to let him use anything sharp to cut the string nocks so he sawed them in with a piece of para cord which then was used as the string.
On this hunt he had access to a .22, 17 HMR and a 20 gauge shotgun but he was dead set on taking a rabbit with his pvc bow!

Me too!
I agree with everything that has been said. Good for you, young man, that is showing some strength of character. I'd also like to add an attaboy to grandpa for encouraging the young lad and starting him down the right path at an early age. There may be hope for us yet! Good on both of ya! May the good lord bless you both with many great and joyful hunts.
Awesome!
That is SO COOL on SO many levels!!!
Also, couldn't agree more with the above post by Phoenixarcher. As a Correctional Officer the one thing that I see that is common amongst MOST of the inmates that I deal with, is laziness and a feeling that the world owes them everything and that it should be HANDED to them, instead of having to EARN things.
God bless you & his parents for raising a kid that is willing to work for what he wants.
