Five-Year-Old Shooting Aerial Targets - Video
« on: August 12, 2015, 02:12:00 PM »
Hope you enjoy a little aerial shooting from a five-year-old.

     

If you want to shoot like Drake, go to    Streaming - Introduction to Aerial Archery   Rent it for only $4.99 or buy it for $19.95.

Kudos and thanks to Mike at Maddog Archery for making such a great shooting little longbow.  My son got it for his third birthday and it has really helped to get him off to a great start.

I am incredibly proud of all my kids but it is fun that I get to share this passion with Drake and he loves it as much as I do.  I have helped so many kids hit aerials that I know your's could do it also, but most simply haven't had as many opportunities to practice like Drake has.

I do loving teaching kids archery.  They light up just watching the arrows fly, hitting something is a bonus.  If it has been a while since you helped a youth fling an arrow, you are missing out.  Make sure you come with a full tank of patience and don't take any of it too seriously.

Drake and I always shoot together and I took for granted how well he was shooting.  We had taken our Laporte Phoenix to a 3D shoot to give archers the chance to experience aerial archery.  My son jumped into an open slot with the adults and out shot most of them.  Their comments and cheers woke me up to the fact that this isn't normal.  Then for a family reunion talent show near St. George, UT, he wanted to shoot his bow.  The family's excitement over the those three shots in the video made me think I needed to put something together which led to this video.  

Thanks again for your support.
