One of my Boys (Step son, but I don't treat him as such) he's about to turn 21, asked if he could use one of my bows.  He explained he wanted to get back into shooting, and his friends wanted him to go with them to some 3/d shoots.  His friends all use modern gear and he told me he wanted the challenge of using one of my longbows.  Of course he's welcome to it.  When it was good to see him take up shooting again today.  He shot a lot and shot well.  He shot like how he did back when he was 12 and still thought I was "cool".

That's great,and a good feeling.

Ain't that great. Seems like we start losing boys in archery about the time girls become interesting to them. Good to see them come back. Hope it sticks. Congrates.

I know the feeling Mike! Our daughter moved out to Greeley,CO a couple years ago to start her career as a teacher. She actually called me to see if I would bring her bow out to her when we went out for a visit last weekend    On our way home she sent me a video of her shooting at Rocky Mountain Archery in Ft.Collins!!
Sometimes it just takes a while for that seed to sprout! Just plain awesome!

You did something right!

Good stuff!

It's always comforting to see them come back to their roots. I keep hoping that my son will come back to traditional archery again. He is going to be 22 soon. I'm glad for you Mike.

I always like hearing these kinds of stories. Well done!

It's funny how well raised kids come full circle, Lord knows it took me awhile,lol. So he was 12 and still thought you where cool that means I have 8 years left of being cool to my boys, I hope. God Bless you and you family Mike

That's great to hear. I wish him great success with his new/ old ventures.  

Good stuff Mike!!!!      

Great!!! They never forget what they were taught when they were young,sometimes it just takes a little time to come back around.      

Very cool and he still thinks your cool but would never let you know it.    

That is good stuff.

       

Congrats sir.    

Like I've always said Mike, You the Man!
Glad to hear he wants to continue the tradition.
