Title: Bow and arrows are for kids
Post by: Pine on March 20, 2021, 04:15:35 PM
I started shooting a bow and arrow in 1962.
I was six years old and I just loved it.
And like the title says, bow and arrows are for kids....
Sure glad I never grew up.  :goldtooth: :archer:

I shot my first bow in gym class in 1968. I harassed my Dad after that until he bought me my first bow in 1969. I've been shooting recurves and longbows ever since.  :archer2:

Think I was 12 when I plunked down $12.50 for an Indian Archery Lemon wood bow and set of arrows. Still have the bow. Let’s see that’s 64 years ago. Lately I have felt a little older but the enthusiasm hasn’t gone down any.

Been 60 years for me, sure dosn't seem that long.  started with making my own out of sticks.  I think my Dad felt sorry for me and I got a Ben Pearson jet bow set for my 7th birthday.  My Dad always encourged me and helped me make what I needed.  It just dosn't quit!!!!

Been 53 years for me and I'm still just maturing.  Bought my first bow at age 11 a new Browning Mohawk with arrows for $25 after Dad taking me to a Wally Taber show with a clip of Fred Bear.

I don’t remember when I got my first bow, a red fiberglass Bear, but probably would have been late 1980s or early 1990s. My dad kept it all of these years, so it’s now come back to me. I still remember messing up arrows by shooting them in the dirt with no field tips.   :knothead:

Now I’m slowly starting the journey with my own son, and loving every minute of it.

I started shooting in the mid 50s. It was a lot easier then. :) Jawge
