Does not looked too far off to me!  I started all three of my boys about that age with a little bow like that one, it pulled about 10 lb at 18"

I used 1/4 shafts with homemade blunts and they shot at plastic milk jugs painted in bright colors.  Great fun, keep up the good work Peachy!

OBTW - they all got their Boy Scout Merit Badge in Archery the first week they joined Scouts, all had a score more than double the required.  That was about age 10 1/2

Its hard to see the expression on his face, but he looks like he's straining with everything hes got. Its my girlfriends grandson, he likes shooting his bow!!

That is so cute!  You can see in his face he's giving it all he's got.

Merry Christmas!

I like his determination.

Grandson's are Gods gift to us old guys. Time to always remember Gods gift to us all. ( LIFE )
Great looking grandson son, his face says it all.

He's got a good teacher Peachey! Maybe we'll see him on the 3D range one of these days....

May 3rd and 4th Childress resident Cal Sinclair competed in a traditional archery tournament in the city park at Memphis. Over 90 competitors attended from Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
 Traditional archery involves the use of recurve or longbows with no sights or release aids. Cal shoots a bamboo and carbon fiber longbow custom made for him by Roswell, N.M. bowyer O.L. Adcock.
 The main competition range consisted of 25 3-D targets at ranges from 15 to 30 yards. Up to 12 points per target can be scored. Cal shot a 213, the second highest score for anyone, including adults.
  Following the primary competition there were 7 shootouts at distances from 75 to 40 yards. The winner being determined by whose arrow struck closest to a 1 inch dot placed on various 3-D targets. Cal took on all competitors, which were all adult, and walked away with the 75 yard and two 40 yard wins.
  11 year old Cal is the son of Charles Sinclair and grand nephew of Dr. J.J. and Margaret Westenburg. He attends 6th grade at Childress Junior High.
