that's just the coolest!! My son is 5 and waiting, like yours was. When I recieved my last bow from Ed Holcomb I opened the box and discovered that he sent along a second bow....a 50". 24# 57 bear recurve..just for my son...NO CHARGE!! I was speachless and then called him asap!! He told me all a child has to do is smile at him and they'll get a bow...what a first class gentleman and super person!!! My son can't quite handle it yet..but it's coming...world needs more of these guys....great story zradix..love that smile on your sons face...john

Have to admit..I think I could've just posted that smiling pic and kept silent. No story needed.

Good luck with your Son Sir. Enjoy it!!

[Bowferd]

Gotta love it!!!!
The finest thing that I know about kids,
If you throw it high uptop shoulder, they'll carry it.
Just one more reason to give it up for the kids.

Very cool! Congrats on your new shootin buddy!

[JEJ]

Great story and photos. He will outgrow that Spiderman t-shirt, but not his love for watching arrows fly. Here's wishing you and your son many years shooting bows together.

John,

That is a happy young man! And he has such a beautiful place to shoot with his Dad.

Great story, Fine looking young man. You'll enjoy many years of fun sharing archery with him.

Had a trad ganger send me a bow for my youngest a couple of years back. I posted WTB and he just sent it. I was amazed. (not any more - I was a new member then). Last year we passed it on to another youngster with a bunch of arrows and a tab. And I suppose that family will do the same.

The best part was I told my son there was a young boy needing a bow to learn on and the first thing he said was "Isn't it time we passed my first bow along". He sure learned more than archery from that gesture, don't you think?

Nice post

Well said.

We should all be so lucky to take lessons learned during one aspect of our lives and apply them to a seemingly unrelated endeavor in order to better the lives of ones around us and through such our own.
