First day of shooting: We left school and headed to shoot. After stringing up his new recurve we went out back. My uncle came over to shoot with us and offer some tips. He did a great job helping Chris with his stance, anchor, etc. Good work Uncle Rob!
"The first couple of shots were very tough! My shots were hitting all over the target. After a break, I pulled back and released and made a decent shot. This is cool!" Chris
He kept looking at me after each shot and saying "wow, I always thought it looked a lot easier." I said, that's the beauty of this sport. It's going to be a lifetime of learning. He really enjoyed being challenged and kept telling me how he was going to practice and get better.
The funny story behind the shooting pic: after I took the picture I showed it to Chris and he said, "Wow, I kind of look like I know what I'm doing." We both cracked up!!
Shot some more but once the form really started to go we quit for the night. Mom even got involved and had some food waiting for us.
We have a short vacation beginning today. Tomorrow, I'm picking Chris up and we're heading to the archery shop to get some arrows cut to length for him.
I don't want to write a novel here but this has been a great experience for Chris, myself and a bunch of other folks who are close to us. There aren't really sufficient words to sum up something like this. Chris came up with a great idea to show Dave and the members how grateful he is, so stay tuned for that. Cool idea!!
Thanks to all!! We hope to share some huntig pics in the future!
