7 year old shoots 3-D
« on: June 01, 2008, 02:45:00 PM »
This is my 7 year old son Justin shooting some 3-D this morning with me in Woodstock, NY. If I wasn't so proud, I'd be embarassed at how bad he made me look. This is only a portion of his better shots. He got tired of having to pose for me. What a great morning! No "cats in the cradle" for this proud papa! Notice he's shootin' 3 under just like the ol' man.

Hey Brian,

Way to go with your boy. I take it you had a great day. Did you shoot the 3-d round with your "dream bow"?

I didn't Arnold. I really haven't had a chance to shoot it much yet and I didn't want to scratch it taking it into the woods. I did shoot it as soon as I got home. What a sweet shooter! I love that bow. I had a great time today. Believe it or not that kid can pull back 38#. I won't let him shoot that much, but he can pull it back and hold it.

This is how it should be for kids, good work to both of you. And say ... any chance you'd care to scalp that boy and sell his hairpiece? Baldy ...

His grades are good he can keep the hair. If the grades slip, I cut off half the hair just in case they don't get better. All 3 of my boys have long hair!

Looks like he's got good form and a great dad.

By the way, I lost 2 arrows and broke 2 arrows. He came home with all of his arrows except for 1 broken nock. I never get sick of "I love you dad".

You're a lucky, lucky guy!  What satisfaction to see a kid, especially your own, succeed.   I wish I could get mine to quit working and go shooting with me, but it wouldn't be as satisfying... he's 60 now!    House next door to us is for sale... maybe a kid will move in  :^)
