Great stuff.  I'm already building my 2 yr olds bow in my mind.  Hope my daughter takes to it like yours.

Hey Tim,

I taught high school for nineteen years.....it's great to see a young gal excited and enthused about archery!  She's just dodged one of the big holes kids fall into.  Good work Dad!!!!

Thanks again for all the posts.  She got a kick out of seeing where you folks live.  The Yukon, New Zealand, Canada, MT....it's amazing how excited they get over the simple things!

I've been fortunate to teach quite a few kids how to shoot the bow and the best advice I can give is light bow weight!  Light bows give folks complete control of the bow, which gives complete control of the release.  If you match the bow with a good set of arrows they all shoot quick and straight.  

I have the kids stand up straight and draw the bow until their rear elbow lines up with their bow hand creating a perfect line and an ideal release.  From there hitting the target gets pretty easy.  Young eye and hand coordination is amazing....

Awesome Tim!  

You  better be making room in the man cave for all her future trophies.  Girls have great focus and don't seem to get as rattled as the boys!
