My nephew Oliver has a birthday tomorrow. Just tonight, over the phone, he asked for me to build him a new bow for his Birthday....
I told him it may be a little late... lol. Not sure what I will be able to do to swing this one but we will see. The good news is, when I figure it out, another Mad dog youth bow will be sent back into circulation.
I know I have worn these pics out but they make me proud!

Great pic Charlie and good luck on the build!
It's so cool to see kids with bows. My daughter is 3 now and I plan to get her a longbow sometime in 2015. She runs to her toychest for her little plastic "Merida" bow every time I touch mine or string it up. She always wants to help me pull the string back and wear my glove.
Charlie, kid has good taste and his Uncle Charlie will always be special cuz he planted the trad seed!
Hey you have a few hours, get your butt to work. LOL
Henry did that to Papa (me) this year when we discovered he had out grown his longbow.
It lead to a new line of bows thought.

Too cool! I can't wait 'til mine is old enough to shoot with me!
Charlie,
Great picture,....he didn't say which birthday.. :readit:
My grands kids love their bows. They do tire of them easily, but they always will shoot for awhile. 2 and 3 years old, that is expected
Oliver will be 7 this year. The above pic was taken at 5. he wanted to send me the above pic to show that he hit the target with all but 1 arrow.
I have one issue.... I don't build bows.... I built him a PVC one but that was when he was 3 or 4.
I figure I will get him a low poundage recurve or something he can shoot for the next couple years. Problem is, I am not there, not sure what kind of weight he can handle yet. I will be asking questions of his mother and father soon. Before the Twins come out.
Hey Charlie, I am sure that if you came down one Saturday or Sunday we could get something made. Maybe not finished, but close enough that you could finish it at home. I have a nice stash of hickory seasoning in the shop. After next weekend there will be plenty of spare time. If you have an idea what specs you need I could also jump start the build. Just a thought. Glen
There you go Charlie.
They don't come much better than Glen.
Great Offer Glen. I will see how I can finagle a ride down this winter.
There are going to be some critters in truoble, Charlie, with that bow in his hands, he's got your look in his eyes.
That's how it's supposed to happen, great job.
nice
Anything to get the young ones into the tradition of traditional. :thumbsup:
Nice
