Seeing Mason up top made me think. What about a picture thread of "Our Future". Any and all photos of the up and coming traditional archers/hunters/bowyers, and probablable Trad Gang members.
I will start. One of my granddaughters Shelby helping me in the shop.

My daughter is 15 months old now and I'm counting down the days/yrs until I can get her a bow so she can shoot with dad!
Jack and Josh - That's priceless Man! That's what it's all about right there. Ain't nobody richer than you guys!
I am going to like this. Great post Jack. Shelby is going to be a great archer and hunter one day.
You too Josh.
Here's my shooting and hunting buddy! Leah Riley , she's nine and was able to shoot her first deer this year with a wheelie bow. The Hard work and shooting a stick bow allowed her to have the strength at nine years old to pull the state minimum draw weight. She can't wait to be able to do it with her longbow!!!

My kids love being outdoors with a bow. Here is a video of them having a blast bow fishing at night this summer.

My oldest is starting to get into it. I'm hoping all of my kids get into it(once they are old enough) as well as the outdoors. I eventually want to have some more hunting partners and backpackers I can explore the Sierras with. My dad was never into hunting, but he took us into the Sierras annually which was quite an experience.

Really cool stuff...four of my grandsons have bows and they really enjoy a day of stump shooting out in the back forty.
Here is my daughter on Christmas morning with her new sammick Sage TD recurve 25#@28"
She was stoked!

I really like all these pictures. There sure are some determined looking youngsters here. Congratulations to all you young dads who spend this wonderful time teaching your kids this wholesome activity and the value system that goes with it. I sure hope my grandson will want to follow Papa through the woods before too much longer. He will turn 3 in February.
These are my children...

Awesome pics guys.
My son this past summer. His first selfbow he tillered with a little help. Is now a wall hanger. Copperhead backed Osage in the works for him.

My 3rd showing me how it's done. She was 1.5yr at the time and 2yrs later still loves to help out "hands on" with archery building.

I'm Loving the pictures. Thank you!
I don't have many pics but my five nine and eleven year old all shoot self bows with me. Travel to shoots with me and will someday soon hunt with me. A long with my "third son" who is my best friends son we all shoot often and the torch is passed for sure. My nine year old would probably win some titles if we kept score bit I enforce it's all for fun at his age.
