Need a bow for my grandson
« on: April 22, 2011, 07:15:00 AM »
Just curious if anyone here can build a bow to fit my grandson. He's not very big, and Im sure he has a very short draw length and would need a lower weight bow. I figure if I can get his broadheads sharp enough he should be ready to hunt by this October. BTW here is his picture we took the other day.

Is he a lefty or righty? Looks like he's keeping that left thumb handy so I'm thinking he's a lefty.

Looks like maybe a 7 pound bow at maybe 19 inches. Hard to tell though with all the linen backing around him....

I think a squirrel skin back quiver might be about the right size for his arrows.


Handsome young lad there.   :thumbsup:

You need to get him one of these:

   

Congrats on the new addition!   :)

Longbows, you see, do not make mistakes…there is no tuning to distract attention from the task at hand or provide excuses when arrows wind up in places we did not ask them to visit.

Respectfully, how about "LogJam" for Mr. Logan James a handle.  Many good hunts ahead of you for sure.
