I just have to gush: we just got back from our Smokies vacation. On the trip my 3 1/2 year old little girl saw a bow and arrow in a indian crafts souvenir shop in Cherokee. She said to me "daddy, what about MY bow?!" Back when she was born I bought a Bear Lit'l Kodiak for her to grow into. Well we got back from the trip and today I got it out for her and within about 10 minutes of tutoring she demonstrated the ability to successfully hold the bow, nock her own arrow and shoot a couple little arrows down range. Proud daddy here!! This is the beginning of some grand adventures. She'll be in the woods with me before we know it!!
