Getting another one started. Maybe more!
« on: December 21, 2012, 10:53:00 AM »
I'm feeling good about a certain young man's Christmas. I had a co-worker ask my advice on getting her 12 y.o. son his first bow. She was on a budget, so I was looking for something he could have fun with and stand up to abuse. I had a few suggestions, but she decided on a PSE Snake, which is a composite recurve. I told her to get some youth arrows at the local store, then measure his draw length and see me after Christmas because I was sure I'd have more arrows sitting in a bucket just itching for some kid to use. Pretty sure I have an arm guard and glove too! She was very appreciative. She also mentioned it had been forever since she shot a bow and is thinking about getting back in to it. Made me smile.
