He would have to be crazy!

Mitch...so what's your point?  

OK guys, I know it's not like me to drag things out.
   

I delivered the bow tonight and have to admit I swelled with pride at the reception it got. Might have gotten a little drop of moisture in these old blue eyes.

Here's the pic I promised and I think it tells the rest of the story.
 
 
 

As Sammi so aptly puts it, she's Grandpa's hunter girl.

I was trying to be nice and give you the benefit.  My bad.

       

Very cool   :cool:   Charlie, very cool indeed!  You musta been just about burstin' with pride when you handed the beauty to the beauty!      

Kids just make my heart melt Joe! Here's a pic of the very first hands on, make the arrow fly event.

A little help...
 

This one was snapped just after the arrow left the bow. Note the intent gaze in those eyes.
 

Too cool Charlie. That folks is what it all about and the greatest way in the world to continue our hunting heritage!

Wow. That is a beaut.

Your a class act my friend      

That's Way to COOL...Bud...Way Cool

Life's simple little rewards for both of you      

PRICELESS!!!!!

I've made a number of kids bows over the years... kept my son pretty well supplied when he was a boy.

I don't make "toy" bows for them either. These little bows really shoot and always impress me.

After a couple of shots into a nearby dirt bank, I had Sam elevate and launch one down the horse pasture.
Without even reaching full draw that little yew bow spit the arrow and sent it spinning 75 yards down range.... much to her joy!

That's one of the tricks with kids.... make sure they get to "launch" one every once in a while. It sets their  little hearts free.

I can remember as a boy spending hours with my buddy shooting arrows as far as we could and only quitting when it was time to go home for supper.

Kids really appreciate what it's all about... the shear joy of watching an arrow fly.
 

I think sometimes it escapes adults and is something we  should all revisit from time to time.

Alright Grandpa Charlie!!  

Way to go Charlie! Thats smile is what it is all about.      

beautiful bow, Charlie

Thats AWESOME!!!

By looking at the first set of pics I would have never guessed that was a kids bow!

Wow! That's Pretty!

Nice going Charlie; the look on her face is priceless. One of those things in life you'll probably never forget.  

Very nice --
