I would like to introduce Brooke

[Tom Anderson]

I would like to introduce a friend of mine's 8 yr. old little girl, Brooke.  She was the recipient of a Hill Chipmunk Slayer longbow graciously provided by Jason (Elksong) who passed it along from a little boy who left us way too soon.  
Brooke is also wearing a leather armguard generously provided by Mike of Mike's Archery Leather and is shooting some arrows sent by Dave (Vermonster13).  
As you can see by Brooke's smile, I think she likes 'em and I'm honored to pass along our archery tradition as well as keeping the little boy's spirit alive forever.
Here's Brooke:
And here's Brooke on the draw (I'll work on her form later):
Not a bad grouping!:
Brooke and her little brother, Forrest:

Thanks to all who participated in introducing another youngster to traditional archery.

All right, Tom! - Glad to see you back in the swing. I will, of course, "lift" the Full Draw pics and post them on my Traditional Bows Drawn section of my website - probably sometime today if I get time. Brooke will appear on Page 15 (the current page - that is almost full). at 60 pics per page that's ummmmmmmm aproximately ummmmmmmmmmm 900 Full Draw pics of your friends and acquaintences -   :D

Excellent to hear! Thanks so much to all those who donated and love to see a young lady or any child for that matter get involved in this beloved sport.

Beautiful! My Granddaugther is almost two! I already have a little longbow in the bow rack waiting for her, when it's time!

Thanks Tom, it is a real pleasure 'meeting' Brook and seeing her have so much fun with the bow. I, too, was eight when I got my first bow, I only wish that I had had archers around to help me out with it. Brooke is a very lucky gal!    
Will you be at ATAR this year?

I love it!

My little girl, 12 now , is also a Brooke, Brooke Hunter to be more specific. She too loves trad archery and shoots an osage longbow. Cut her umbilical with a Zwickey back in 95.
