When my 18 month old grandson comes over to visit he likes "strumming" my bow string and holding an arrow. I think my son-in-law has been watching this and thinking it may be something they could share together some day. Well, I picked up a nice 41#@28" Red Wing Hunter recurve and matched up some woodies to it. I called him up and told him I had this bow I could bring over and let him use. Got there and the grandson was on it from the get go! Took a target out in back. I went over some things with Doug about shooting form, care of the bow, safety, etc. He is standing at 3-5yds and is shooting it like a natural! He started asking if 41# was heavy enough for hunting!!! Oh boy! I think the archery bug bit another one! He said he is going to start getting up 15 minutes earlier to be able to go out and shoot a few arrows.        

way to go!!!

Wait a sec.. now your going to want to give arrows to him instead of me sponging off of your stash.. I don't know about these young whipper snappers getting into this.
You know I'm kidding. Have to get him ready for "team Savage" for next years Pope and Young shoot.

right on snag...good job bro...  

Cool.....get him hooked!  

He's a ways off from qualifying for "Team Savage" Okie. But we'll work on that.

A few months ago I traded off a real nice Brack Quest for two used recurves, arrow supplies, armguards, and gloves. I'll fletch up the arrows and make two backquivers.

I have two son-in-laws that are going to get quite a surprise on Christmas morning!

Boy, do I miss that Brackenbury. It was worth it though to see "my boys" get into trad archery.
