Finished bow for my son....Updated Action pics

[TimZeigler]

My 2 1/2 yo son Barrett loves to watch me shoot and hold my arrows during our sessions.  He races down to the target to help pull the arrows and always wants his turn.  With the direction and resources I've found here I put a little something together for him.  This is RedOak board bow with a Massaranduba handle and tips.  Leather rest, and grip.  Its backed with fiberglass sheetrock tape and covered with camoflauge material from pants I wore as kid.  It draws 4lbs at 14".  This was my first attempt and I hope it lasts him until I get another built.  I added some reflex to it so that the set is pert near 0 when unstrung.  Hopefully I'll have some action shots soon.  I shot the pictures indoors under poor lighting with someone else camera so please bear with me.  Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys!  I couldn't wait to get home to let him try it out.  I swung by the local CC and bought a new digital camera for the occasion.  He loved the bow and although needing help on his technique (who doesn't right?) he did great.  We kept it short this afternoon.  I was suprised at how well it shot for a mere 4#.  It will stick them in a wore out layer target at about 3-4 yards. Here are some shots.
