Title: Blast From The Past!
Post by: Trumpkin the Dwarf on May 09, 2014, 09:12:00 AM
So I found two pictures of me as a little kid, shooting a bow. I figured it was worth throwing up there for ya'll to critique my form!

I love the mask....thinking camo, even in the early stages.

Too good!!!!

I started a thread with the same exact title years ago...you should do a search....but it wasn't about me as a youngster...it was something a military guy did for TradGang.

You are lucky to have those pictures. I never had my parents take a picture of me with my first bow in 1955, a Ben Pearson longbow.

I have been meaning to get these pictures up for ya'll for quite a while now. I finally got a digital version of them. As for the facemask, I didn't figure there was any other way to shoot a bow! I mean, you have to get close to kill something!    :readit:

And Terry, I took the liberty of digging up that post for everyone's enjoyment...

Great pictures! No doubt it brings to mind a lot of great moments. I don't think I have ever had a picture of me shooting a bow, and I got started back in 1959.

That's cool. Not too sure the camera was invented when I was that age. If so there would have been a bull frog or a bunny in front of those arrows. (Grin)
I bet you terrorized the critters too though.

God bless, Steve

As often as I could, haha! I remember when I started counting down the days till I could legally shoot a big game animal...longest 6 years of my life.  :goldtooth:

Love it!  Is that Mt Sentinel blurred in the background of the 2nd picture?  The form looks good!

Sadly no. I grew up in Billings.
