I've tried and tried to get my 13 yo daughter interested in archery. Please post picts of your gals shooting or hunting. Hero shots would be great as well for some inspiration. Also if you have a bow a 13 yo would be able to shoot let me know. I'm in the market. Its hard for me to get her to shoot a bow that is for an 8 year old.
Thanks TJ

I'll run to the front of the line for this thread!
Here's a few years of progression!

Good stuff Tim, I showed my daughter your thread with Amy an Big Ed the other day and she said "Eeuuuu I wouldnt shoot one of those nasty carp".
I think her hunting anything is a lost cause, but I still think she will shoot targets with me if I can find her a bow.

These were taken last summer TJ. but they do love the outdoors....

Tom,
My daughter's interest comes and goes. Out of the blue last summer on her 14th birthday she decided to take the hunter safety course. A couple months later she pulled the trigger on her first doe at 18 yards! She is definitely not ready to archery hunt but that's fine with me, as long as she's in the woods for the right reasons I'm proud to have her along.
This summer for some reason she's back into bows! She's not one to go out back and practice but so far she has yet to miss a 3d shoot! We'll see how it all plays out....Tim
-
Awesome, sounds just like the interest level I am seeing. She is 13 now and hopefully it will blossom when she is tired of music and boys.
Keefer, those are great. My daughter at that age shot quit a bit with me. Hopefully they will stick with it.

*This girl won't let me slip out and shoot without her begging to go. Hope it's always that way!
-
Now those are some good pic's!!

Well done folks! Love to see kids with their moms & dads out shooting!
My bud Steve will post his beautiful daughter here in a bit. Keep them coming folks!

My Wife Nancy, (Redbird) has been my hunting partner since the first year we were married...many years ago.

Thanks TJ
TJ - Have you taken your daughter to see the movie, "The Hunger Games"?
This movie seems to be the recent driving force for the multitude of young ladies invading every local archery shop and relieving them of every available lightweight recurve or longbow! I've talked with shops that tell me their distributers can't keep up with the demand.
Just a thought.
-
I think that new movie Brave is gonna draw some interest as well with the younger girls! My Daughter (who is 5) picked up her old bow out of the blue and started shooting with me on fathers day! We shot for over an hour together! I ended up picking her up a pink st.joe's river kid bow from the footed shaft yesterday. We shot for about 20 minutes last night together! Here is a pic of her and her new bow!

Tony, she read the three books multiple times prior to dragging me to the initial midnight showing of the movie. She loved it all. I know she will shoot with me if I will get off my butt and get her a bow. The one she has is the one she started with and is way to light now.
-
I need to get my little gal a bow. She is going to be 8 soon and I think its still not too late to get her into fold :)

Those beautiful girls are just as important Bill & Ron! Congratulations!

How old were your daughters when they first started shooting? My daughter is only 2.5 and I'm already looking to get her a bow in the next couple of years. I just got the wife a 30# Samick sage and she is having a blast. For Father's day we went to our local Izzak Walton League and had the archery range and woods all to ourselves! What a great family sport! Any reccomendations on a youth bow for a girl?
-
TJ.
This year 3,199 young ladies shot in the NASP nationals -- Grades 4-12. World-wide, about 1,025,000 young ladies partricipated in NASP this past year.
The NASP world record is 298 out of 300. This record is co-held by 3 bows and 1 girl. Archery doesn't care what gender a person is.

I have posted several times as my daughter has embraced traditional archery and how she has grown in the short 6 months since that time. She has been shooting a bow for about a year now. She started with training wheels last June, requested a longbow for Christmas.
She got a Tolke Tadpole last year for CHristmas at the age of 11.
(http://i.imgur.com/XQ3Od.jpg)
The 19# R/D bow lasted a couple of months before she found a Hill bow she wanted.
(http://i.imgur.com/5gxd9.jpg)
(http://i.imgur.com/my0K5.jpg)
Then just a couple of weeks ago we went to the Hill Classic. While by back was turned picking up some arrows I had ordered the week before. I hear Bella talking to my friend Steve Turay in his booth behind me. I turn around and shortly realize that Steve has built and is giving my daughter a 62" Northern Mist Classic, 39#@26" longbow that is an EXACT copy of the longbow he custom built for me last year. Talk about a role model for a child to look up to!!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/Lf6gZ.jpg)
That proud, grinning from ear to ear, 11 year old girl then proceeded to give me and Jim Quinn (Tower Climber) a run for our money on the 3d course. She shot a 162 with a new bow, and she refused to shoot from the youth stake. That was scored from the ladies stake. I shot a 199 and later shot the one shot one kill stake and she beat me handily. You think I cared??
(http://i.imgur.com/SIEqx.jpg)
Several weeks ago I posted an article about our journey together so far in Traditional Archery. You can find it here The Tinder to Build a Fire (http://tradbowblog.com/2012/05/15/the-tinder-to-build-a-fire/) . I hope you will enjoy it. There is also another article that has some additional shots taken from the SE Hill Classic on the site as well.

Those are all very cool Terry! :thumbsup:

Tom, I apologize I got carried away and forgot to add. My daughter has a Pearson Bronco Recurve, its 30#@26" I believe. She has only shot it a few times, just liked longbows better. I would be willing to put it in a tube and send it you you for your daughter to give it a whirl.
It is my daughters but I do not think she would mind. Not really looking to sell it but if your daughter was to really like it I am sure we could figure something out. I am sure my daughter would like having a little cash lying around to spend at the next 3d event we go to.
Let me know if you would like to let her try it out.
Regards,
-
Sounds good to me Thanks Steve, I'll send you a pm tonight.

Bill,
As my son and I were walking past your booth at Cloverdale this year your wife was nearby and I remarked to Nigel, "That is one dangerous woman, there."
Wish I had 1/2 the success she has. :thumbsup:

Well Dunn Bill! Bet either of you could go on twice the number...oh well maybe not! Inside joke folks! Pretty cool stuff!

Here is a picture of the only Archery Gal in my life. However I am giving a bow to a 13 year old Girl for her birthday this weekend. I had her shooting a 30 # Bear Cat last year at the farm and out of the blue this year she asked her dad for a cool bow like Uncle Charlie's for her Birthday and not one like dads :readit: . To say I was tickled was an understatement.
Those pictures are to follow after this coming weekend.
Becka Shoots a 1955 Bear Kodiak Special, 35lbs@ 28". In the bowfishing pictures she is using a 1969 Bear Grizzly 43 lbs @ 28".

a few More. One thing that drives me nuts is every time we shoot at a 3D event, someone always thinks her form is goofy. I think her Form is perfect in 2 ways :readit: . My new answer to them is, she isn't asking for help. she just enjoys being able to come out and shoot from time to time. Besides, I know better than to tell her what to do ;)

Cyclic-Rivers,
My girlfriend shoots and has almost the exact same form as your archery gal. I have tried to give a little advice here and there thinking I know what I'm doing LOL, but then I realize she is with me and sharing a hobby I truly enjoy so I just do what I should always do and keep my opinions to myself (mouth shut) and just smile and take it all in.
The first time we shot a 3D course together she couldn't believe how well she did. After that she has been with me every time. My daughter is the same way. Got them both involed and had them make their own arrows. I started something I can't wait to continue.
I love it!!

Hers's my daughter and I on top of Ski Denton Hill. She has been going and shooting with me for 12 years and we get a picture on top of the hill every year. She's 19 now and getting a part time job while in college and needed to know the dates for Denton Hill so she could take them off this year :)
-
Selfbow19953, you and I are in the same boat. My daughter moved to Brooklynn, NY several years ago, and I don't think she will ever move South again. As for my wife of 39 years (as of next Saturday), I've had no luck there either. Her reply to my efforts to get her to shoot the bow was that if I didn't make her go to the archery range, she wouldn't make me go to the mall. I felt obliged to accept that offer.
All you other guys are so lucky to have girls who want to shoot with you! Please be sure to make sure they understand just how grateful you are for their desire to share your wonderful hobby. You are lucky men.
-
Very cool Bob!

I thought I would post up a pic of my 16 year old daughter shooting an old 44# @ 28" Groves Magnum that I found in an old barn loft. By the way, this is only her second time shooting a trad bow and she is hitting full anchor for a full 2 seconds before release. Not to bad , huh. I thnk she may be a natural.

My daughter is 7, will be 8 in September, and would like to get her started. I do have a question though. She is right handed but I am fairly certain she is left eye dominate. If this is the case should I teach her to shoot left handed?
-
Brazos my son is left handed but right eye dominant. He shoots right handed. Don't know if this helps.
-
Thanks. I am 100% left handed so I can't relate. My thinking is she would be better off shooting left handed as she is a clean slate and doesn't know any better.
-
Brazos , when we teach the kids to shoot we check their dominate eye by having them stand a couple of feet away and extend their arm and point their index finger at my nose. It is usually easy to see which eye they re using.
I have a right handed grandson who has a left eye dominate.
He tried to shoot righty but shot way to the side. Tried lefty and was in line with the first shot.
Since I make their bows it was not a problem.

The Ranger's Apprentice books by John Flanagan are good stories with plenty of archery in them.

Hannah is right handed but left eye dominant. I switched her to a left handed bow as soon as I figured that out. It was a great move.
-
In our 4H archery club I have had good results with the RH / left eye dominant kids just by keeping both eyes open when they shoot.
YMMV tho...

Pm sent Randy. Thanks!
Doug, great photo's. Really like the one with the turkey and her with your big coat on. That will be nice to look at in 30 years for you both.

The post above got me distracted (fine form does that), but thanks for all the eye dominance advice. I will determine if she is left eye dominate and right handed. If she is left eyed dominate I will go the left hand route. May need a kids bow with a duel shelf and let her figure it out.

Left eye dominant youd want to shoot left. My son does most thing righty but shot horribly righty til we realized he was left eye dominant. Lefty bow he shoots a lot better!

My 14 yr old daughter at her first 3D shoot at the 2012 TN Classic.
-
I tested my daughter, and my wife, again tonight. As it turns out they are both right handed and left eye dominate. I am going to test my daughter a few more times to be sure. Sometimes you just can't get a straight answer out of a 7 year old. It was hard enough figuring out my 35 year old wife was left eye dominate. Best I could tell she is to.
-
A method I often use when checking out kids on shotgunning is to have them point their index finger right at my eye and I can look right back down their finger and see which of their eyes aligns with their finger. It's easy for them to fake it if you have them do the testing (looking through a small hole and moving the hole back to their eye, or pointing at something and telling you if it moves when they close one of their eyes).
-
I just got started learning a short time ago. We were out checking out an old antique store one day and my daughter came running up to me with a big smile on her face and a bow in her hand. She found an old Bear Green Bow that was 25# at28. She was so excited that she could actually draw the bow. She has not put it down since and HAS to go out with me every time I practice! It's great to see the concentration on her face. She loves to tell me how many more Bullseyes she gets than DAD! Now I have to get her a bow made for someone her size. Most of her arrows just bounce off the bag. She does not care, but loves it when she sticks one!!! Here she is!

The easiest way to check a youngster's eye dominance is to give them and empty paper towel roll--or just roll up a sheet of papaer--and have them look through it like a telescope. It will go right to the dominant eye without thinking about it. Don't ask, don't suggest....just hand them the "telescope". The more you get them thinking about it the more confused they'll get.

Hey Kirk, is that you running at the other end of the field lol.

Kirk's picture are larger than 640 pixels wide but if any of you admins delete them you are not a red blooded American!!! Just sayin'

ooooops! I resized them guys...
-
Hey guys what bow weight and arrow set up are your girls/wifes using when they are hunting Thanks Sahne
-
Great idea OzzyShane. Guys if you don't mind could you edit your post and put your gal's bow specs with them. It would be a great benefit to someone like me who is looking for a bow for his daughter that has no idea what poundage to get her.
Thanks!

I have really enjoyed these pic's. All of the ladies in these pics, both young and older are really special. Anyone thought of a Trad Gang St. Judes calendar? There would probably be enough pics donated for many calendars. Could be one of the boy's(young and old)of trad archery also. Maybe raise a few bucks for the kids. I don't have any idea what it would cost to have them made. Of course only with permission from the participants.

An illuminating thread that I wish could touch all.

My 4H traditional archery group started with two young ladies two years ago and looks like I will have six this year. They are going to outnumber the boys soon.

These are of my little girl Kylie

And this one was a photo for a silhouette that was made into a sticker for my truck window.

And this is her silhouette / sticker made from the photo by Hardcore Archery, they are available with your daughters name on them(and my son also made a sticker and that is also available).They have Traditional Archer above the silhouette and their name below it.

Great pics everyone. Especially of the lefties. Can't have too many of them.

KC, you can send either one of your daughters to NW Montana.
Just sayin' :D
-
Yeah Charlie, I think 30@28 may be a good weight for my girl. Thanks!

Here is my princess

Click on the video to watch a little girls first round of shooting :)

Thanks Ryan, she's adorable. I've settled on a 54-58" bow at around 30 @ 28. If anyone has one send me a pm.
Keep the Trad Gang Gals coming, this is kinda neat to have them all in one thread.
Thanks TJ
-
What can I say? Awesome thread! TJ, I hope your daughter gets the bug.
Mine enjoys walking around and watching me shoot.. She sometimes hugs and kisses the targets though... I gotta work on that...

Oh yeah, great shot Joe. There is no doubt in my mind little Miss Lacefield will be a shooter. I'll never forget the time you out shot me with her as a baby in a pouch on your back. That was just downright disrespectful come to think of it.

First year shooting

Thanks for everyone's help on the eye dominance issue. My daughter is left eyed dominate and RH. I started her shooting last night left handed and she loved it. Now I have two of the neighbor girls wanting me to teach them to shoot. One is six the other nine. The nine year old is 100% left like me the other six year old is left eyed dominate and RH like my daughter. Though I will have my handful tonight at least we will all shoot left handed. Hopefully that will make it easier.

I just survived teaching three new archers. My 7 year old, and my neighbor's 6 & 9 year old girls. Strangely all 4 of us are left eye dominate which helped. They all had a blast and didn't even complain about our 108 degree heat we had today. Now I am on the hunt for a bow for my daughter (7) as I have been borrowing bows from the archery range the past couple nights. I have been looking at the Black Rhino 42 or 48" bows or the Samick Polaris 48" bow. The Samick bow is cheaper and looks good but the Rhino is American made (no clue on the Samick). What are your thoughts?

Our recent college graduate. She's headed off to Montana for Grad school soon, but still likes a couple hours of stumping with her osage selfbow. I like it, too.

I ordered my daughter a Black Rhino longbow earlier. She leaves with my wife to Colorado tomorrow while I stay home and work. Will be a surprise when she gets home. Hopefully I will have a picture to post soon. On a side note my daughters new found love for archery has my wife shooting again after buying her a longbow 10+years ago.
