Think I found my new 3D partner

[Pokerdaddy]

After attending my daughter's dance competition this morning, I was planning on hitting the local 3D course by myself.  Well, Gwen begged to come along and I thought she'd just tag along as in the past...but this time she wanted to bring her own bow and arrows and have a go.  My expectations were low as she's still growing into her St. Joe River bow, but she surprised the heck out of me!  At 8 yards she hit the first five targets and even after getting a bit winded proceeded to score foam roughly 75% of the time.

I'm one proud daddy, not just because she shares my interest, but she's found something she truly enjoys and we just have a blast together!

She's not to full draw here, but looking pretty good




These are actually my arrows, and while not a great group they were shot at 45yds, then 35yds, then 25yds...so I was happy.


This is the first time I've had a picture of myself at full draw.  Shooting a 54" TimberHawk.


Thanks for letting me share.

I love her form and her St Joe River bow is beautiful in it's pink shades. My 2 1/2 year old granddaughter is shooting her longbow also. When she gets older I will get her a St.  Joe River bow like this one. Ken

And for any of you parents that think girly girls can't be hunters, this was Gwen earlier in the day, taking a Gold Medal, a First Place, and a Fifth Place overall at a large dance competition.
 





Your daughters (and sons) can pursue any and all interests with equal excitement...encourage all their dreams!

Great to hear! My daughter danced for 15 years and my son played soccer/baseball until he got involved in music. Neither are bow shooters but both give dad a run for his money shooting pistols at 25 yards!
