Yep many have gone down this road, myself included.
Took an oath today that from now on no more buying bows for me. I have enough. Why ? because it's time to buy'em for my son. He just turned seven and out of the blue he asked me for a bow. I was tickled to say the least. Made it to the local archery shop and picked up a Martin Matrix recurve for him. Very nice bow to start out with. Gave him the speech about he better remember to do his homework or else the bow goes to his sister. He took his oath and he drew it to anchor, and the old man was none prouder.

You'll never find a better shooting / hunting partner!

My little ones and I often go on fine bee hunting trips.....they never run out of targets,and I never run out of smiles. Get em out with you,and you'll have the best shooting partners you could ever want.

I have pics of my 3 year old drawing a recurve from 25 years ago. I feel and know how you feel

Mongo · June 10, 2012, 12:21:00 PM

You can't start them down that path at too young an age.

Good job!

Mongo · June 10, 2012, 12:22:00 PM

Sorry bout that what I meant to say was they are never too young to start down that path.

Pre-coffee post!

You did good Pete! Great!

Brianlocal3 · June 10, 2012, 01:55:00 PM

Outstanding post, get them started young and the passion continues to grow

Interseptor · June 10, 2012, 02:23:00 PM

Im trying to get there myself. My son has outgrown his youth bow.

LongStick64 · June 10, 2012, 05:33:00 PM

One thing I have learned is to never push them into something, they'll fall into it if they see you enjoy it as well.

J-dog · June 11, 2012, 08:39:00 AM

AWESOME! got to love it!

Escoffier1974 · June 11, 2012, 10:53:00 AM

How long until your daughter gets her own bow? I'm expecting mine to want one when she is about 6.

By the way, congratulations!
