She gives me hope, Tom! I remember running out in the snow barefoot with my new bow, back when I was thirteen. Yup. I am definitely grinning!

Arwen, I have a Baby girl who just turned Two on Thursday and last week she was helping me put nocks on a new set of arrows I was Making and she already can say Buck when she looks at my deer heads.....I pray she will love the outdoors as much as you and Killy do....Last week she and I watched that show on the animal planet about the Grizzlyman and she was really tuned in to the bears....I just looked at her smiling because I prayed to God for a girl that would love the outdoors as much as I...I did get pics of her sitting on our kitchen table putting those nocks on...They aren't to young to start and Killy I can only imagine how your Father felt when he saw you with your first bow in hand...God Bless! Keefers <")))><

B.O.D. · January 06, 2008, 08:43:00 PM

Thank you,, Im sure she will love the outdoors, watching you do the things you do, and learning from you.As she gets older she will hold on to that knowing that she has something special with her Dad. And she will have a blast doing it.

B.O.D. · January 06, 2008, 08:44:00 PM

that was from Arwen

Keefer · January 06, 2008, 08:54:00 PM

I know how much they do copy cat their parents... Heck just today looking at her in the rear view mirror riding home from Church she kept putting her finger up her breather devise...That's the " nose " ....She must be picking that up from her mommy ... Keefers

You better watch yer back Keefer, "Mommy" might be readin here!

Keefer · January 06, 2008, 09:04:00 PM

I looked around to make sure she wasn't no where near before I typed that....I think I can sleep with both eyes closed tonight....

Jason Lester · January 07, 2008, 12:10:00 AM

Now when I was new here I got maybe 6 replys Arwen has 6 pages. LOL

Just joking.

Welcome Arwen. keep up the good work and working on the form is helping. In your first pics it looked like the bow was a bit heavy for you. Your bow arm was at a weird angle. By your second set of pics it wasn't that way anymore. So your doing good! Plus your lucky to have people around you that shoot. I had to learn on my own. But its addictive so I stayed at it. Now I teach kids archery.

Tanks for keeping us updated BTW. It gets a bit slow around here after hunting start ending.

Killdeer · January 07, 2008, 05:51:00 AM

You remember that long ago, Jason? I don't remember what I did Saturday! Oh yeah...poked at this dang keyboard all day. Oy.

As far as my dad goes, he seems to scratch his head in puzzlement a lot. He doesn't do any of this stuff.
