My son and I were shooting in the backyard this evening when a young guy (8? 10?) stopped by to collect for the local neighborhood newspaper. As my wife doled out some cash, he noticed us shooting and I heard his excited voice "hey mom - they're shooting bows!".
Of course, I invited him back. Dylan got his lighter bow and the young man shot with us for probably 30 minutes. While were were shooting, his mom pulled me aside and told me that tomorrow is his birthday and did I know of anywhere to get a bow for him. :-D
I pointed her to a couple of places and chatted with him about archery and hunting and stuff. Eventually the mom had to pull him away to finish collecting but it looks as if this young man may be on his way to joining our ranks at some point.
