The Next Trad Generation
« on: February 05, 2011, 10:57:00 PM »
Another up & coming trad bowhunter!... got my son started back in 2007 with a small youth longbow (15#@21") made by Jim Boswell of Rudderbows...
     

He really started doin' much better with it in 2009!...
   

Last year, I took him to his first 3D shoot - with some "wheelie bow" friends (yeah... we're workin' on them!)...
     

That bow is getting shorter every year!   ;)   I'm happy to say, the longbow is his preference... not just his Dad's!  I think 2011 will be the year for him to get a new bow!  10th birthday coming up in a few months!  Thanks for letting me take the opportunity to brag on my boy!     :D

Gene,
Very cool indeed!  A dad and his lil' buddy.    :thumbsup:  

He looks like he is a natural - better groups than me.  My little boy is only 18 months old but I am already planning his first longbow.

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.

Very cool! Way to start him the right way! My boy started shooting a recurve when he was six. He is twelve now and still shoot's a recurve. He shoot's an old bear kodiak mag, and wouldnt' have it any other way.  Great pics!!  Jason

That is awesome, it is great when you get a kid involved and they end up becoming as addicted as you are. Keep it up and have fun!

You have every right to be proud, and so does he.
Congratulations to you both.  Both of you are lucky.

What a great way for a father and son to spend time together. My 7 year old sons Black Rhino will be here next week. I don't know who is more excited, me or him!

All my boys shot from early on, and I'm thankful to say still shoot with me when they can. All have kids of thier own now so I'm working on grandkids. Never to busy to listen to a man brag on his child good job and enjoy. He'll love that new bow.

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.
