Getting them started early
« on: May 20, 2016, 01:14:00 AM »
My little nephew just turned 6 and with the approval of his dad... A longbow found its way into the bag of gifts... Not anything fancy but at 6 I didn't figure he didn't need anything too nice either.

His eyes lit up like Christmas had come. He spent the afternoon shooting... He was a little disappointed he missed the target so much but i reminded him even Robin Hood had to start somewhere... He grinned and by the afternoon was able to at least put his arrows on the target.

That's roughly the same age my boys started shooting. If my experience is any indication, I'd say you are going to be doing quite a bit of shooting with that young man from here on.    :archer2:
