Had a few people that my wife and I recently met show up for a bday party. As soon as they walked into the house I could see the curriosity in their (his) eyes with all the traditional bow stuff laying around ( I didn't know he's a compound shooter) It didn't take long before I was deep in conversation and showing off bows and other things. As he held my bows I could see the longing in his eyes so I offered to let him shoot one. To witch he didn't hesitate at all!

I was impressed!! He even wants to come back and do some more shooting! We even discussed building bows! I'd say the Trad Bug has bitten again!!
Yep, he's a goner. Good for you!
Maybe a convert! I haven't had any luck with the people I know.

I was at a bachelor party last night where everyone was shooting guns... so I took my bows. By the end of my night a good friend of mine was trying to convince me that I needed a new bow so he could have my old one.
Good job Randy!! What kinda bow you got there? ;) :thumbsup:
Tell him we all welcome him to the dark side......
Good! I know he doesnt have his release around his wrist, but tell him he can pull it back all the way and it aint gonna break! :thumbsup: No turnin' back for him now!
You're what my counselor wife would call an "en-abler" well done, turn him on to this site so we can help feed the addiction.
Hook....Line.....Sinker..... :thumbsup:
Kenny, you know full well what bow that is!! Your design and you provided everything in that bow! Lol!! I figured I'd get him hooked first then we could discuse hold, anchor point and form later! Just enjoy the experience first then move into the finer details later!!
Thought I could recognize that tiller shape!LOL
Good for you helping someone enjoy archery!!
Way to go!. Best to him :)

Goes to show you other hunters, be they wheel, X, or rifle can be converted!!!!!!!
The important part is getting people into the woods in the first place. Not arguing about how we hunt.
Congrats on the convert-in-progress!!!
Nice job Randy!
