His bow is an Elk Ridge Little Squirt 8 pounds at 12 inches. 36 AMO length. Were working on holding the bow and pulling the string! He's a happy fella!!!

Thanks for the nice comments! You folks are right. They do grow up fast. It hard for mommy and I to believe he's 7 months already.

Yep, my little guy was a tad bigger, I'd piggyback him into the woods, build a ground blind and he would sit quite as a mouse. Now he is 6' 240#'s and can piggyback me. Wher4e did the time go? Enjoy him and the two of you will make some super memories.

Looking good John Davis! It will be a lot easier to handle that bow when you learn to walk. I know that Taylor will want to field test that new kanati miniture quiver. Shoot straight

Starting him early isn't the half of it, as I recall John bought that bow while John Davis was still in the bread box ... and then he had his lovely wife cindy carry it all over the place with her at ATAR (and probbaly right up untill John D was born)  :D  

Really looking good these days, John. (He's soooooooo lucky his Mommy is good looking.  :D  )

Great pics, as usual, John and Archie is looking great too - can he track a Caribou?
