10 years ago I tought the youngin next door to shoot. As he aged he and I shot togather several times each week. He told all the kids at school and was always excited to shoot.I loved doing it more than he did I think. NEVER had anyone complain about me shooting in the back yard after that. He has grown now and I have moved south 30 miles so we don't get togather much if any now. Good thing is it made a diffrence in his life and without a Dad he needed that. It does'nt take much to help a kid and the truth is you get more out of it than they do. Good Job and congrats.

Well done Shakes..........

I love it when my neighbors lil ones come by & ask me to teach them to shoot.

I have been blessed with having a few smaller bows that work just fine for even my lil 3 year old & teaching lil ones our sport is always a pleasure to me especially when I also introduce the parents to it as well.

Kudos to ya bro & it was truly a good day.

Ya Know, I havent gotten anymore "Nasty Neighbor Looks" anymore Either!! hahaha I figure a Couple of Smallish Hickory Bows just might be in Order here!!
 After Pondering what a Great Time they had, I think I will make them a Couple of  SILVER ARROW Awards  Awards to Dedicate their First Try at Archery!!    Maybe they can Keepsake them and Show Their Kids,  MANY MOONS  from Now Though!!      TEE-RIFFIC!!  Sorry I was busy Payin' another Doctor, when I Sure would have rather have been Outback Shooting with My "2 Merry Young Men"!! Bless Their Hearts!!

One kid at a time brother...one kid at a time. Nicely done. It benefits us all when we take the time to promote the sport we love so much. Usually, we get as much or more enjoyment when we simply "take the time". Thanks.

"It doesn't take much to help a kid and the truth is you get more out of it than they do." SO TRUE. I'm envious of you Shakes, don't bump into many kids out in the country here. You did real well, often some might think there's no time for THIS. Sounds like you didn't make them think they were in the way. Gotta believe there's a couple of new TradGangers coming up.

Great job. And God Bless.

Great story Shakes, and you know this is only chapter 1 in the boy's bows and arrow book. Some time in the future those boys as men will watch new movie number 10 about Robin Hood, and you can bet they will tell everyone about how way back in '10 you got them started flinging arrows. Good for you.

This is how the world was meant to be. Let's all try to pass it on, one child at a time. It's not near often enough that we hear stories like this.
Great Job!!
