I am lucky to have 2 kids that are just "eat up" with shooting their bows right now. Both have always shot a little with me but once we simplified our life and moved into a house (barn) and threw the Direct TV in the trash, we started being outside more.
My son went with me to the United Bowhunters of Illinois state shoot. He had a bow he had outgrown and needed another. JP Enterprises was there and had some of St. Joe's bows
http://www.stjoeriverbows.com/ He picked one up and knew it was the one for him. Needless to say I now have had to pick up some arrows from another sponsor Kid Stix
http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=48;t=001505 He's now getting dialed in. What he lacks in form, he makes up for in want-to. I truly hope this continues.
My daughter is bowshooting savant. From the moment she picked one up she had perfect form. Look at this old pic from a few years ago.
Her current rig is a Maddog longbow
http://www.maddogarchery.com/ that she loves. I had to get her some arrows from Kid Stix too once she got wind that her brother was getting some. I see a huntress growing and getting better with each day now.
Now I ask you...is your form that good? Mine's not. My son is my clone: looks, form, temperment. My daughter is my wife's clone...bet she can shoot too
Big thumbs up to our sponsors and all they do to keep bows in kids' hands. I am trying to burn these great days shooting into my mind for later times when they are grown, teaching their own kids to shoot
