Kids, Bows, & Bears
« on: June 22, 2007, 09:47:00 PM »
I had my oldest son, Luke, in the back yard shooting tonight.  He's doing pretty well at nearly 8 years old.  I started him shooting as soon as he learned to walk, at barely age 1.  He's outgrown two bows and is now using his third.  (My youngest son, Jack, is just about ready to pick up Luke's first bow.)  I took a video of him.  It's badly narrated and a bit wobbly, but I've got to share it.   :)   Hope this works...

 Keep at it dad.
