Another Kid Hooked on Trad

[Basinboy]

Some time back I bought a youth bow from a member here (JamesV) for my friends son. His dad is not a hunter and has never owned a bow. I invited them on a 3D shoot while visiting a few days ago. Steve said he thought Eli would enjoy that. We drove 2 hours to Baton Rouge this morning and met up with some old friends of mine. We formed a group and hit the trail.
Eli is a natural!

My son Cameron and Eli are close in age. They had a blast together.

Great day for sure.  Looks like you will have a couple of young bucks to make sure you can still get out in your old age.

[LimBender]

That's great!

Had a blast.  Those kids made the day.

Glad to see kids slinging arrows

I like how Eli reaches for another arrow after he hits the running deer. Looks like a great time.

It funny how some people (at some of the types of shoots I used to, but no longer, attend) seemed to be irritated when a group of kids would slow things up.  I am just the opposite. It is wonderful to see youngsters enjoying this wonderful game.  Since I am seldom in the running for top honors at the competitions I enter, I some times team up with a young family with kids and offer what little assistance I can.

I really enjoy the pictures and descriptions you give of the event.  Keep up the good work.

Very nice!

I like this post.  Especially since those young'ns shoot better than I do.

We kept picking at him, Saying we weren't going to let him bring a quiver full to the next shoot because he wanted to empty the quiver at every target
