my 23 year old son ryan finally wants to shoot traditional archery.he has tried it a few times to please me i think.he recently moved to the oregon coast and called me yesterday saying he needs a bow so he can start shooting it to go hunting with me.this was the best thing thats happened to me in a while.he's the same height as me same draw length so i gave him his pick out of my herd to call his.bad news is he picked my mohawk,sorry boy,any bow but the mohawk is what i told him.i mailed him both of my widows.lol....kids...go figure eh.

That's great! Is he going to hunt those coast range Roosevelts? I am working on my one son-in-law. He seems to be leaning that way. I think what really got him thinking about it was watching his son wanting to hold my bow and arrows at only 18months old! He is thinking it would be a great activity they could share.

That's great news!

My son still shoots a compound... but has never shot sights. I think it is just a matter of time though. My first 35 deer were taken with a compound (no sights)... and I have been shooting trad only now for about 21 years.

The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree!

Good news! Wish I could go too. Rooseys are the top.

roosevelts are tough to hunt,spent more than my share of time chasin them cliff lovin critters around the coast range of oregon.now i'll drive the 300 miles to east side in exchange for some nice gentle slopes

Cool!
Can't believe you wouldn't give him his first pick though

Can't change the rules AFTER he picks

Since he picked your favorite, that proves he has good taste

Good stuff Larry. Perhaps he can join us on the 2010 Trad elk hunt. Can't says I blame ya on the Mohawk though!

Good stuff, glad the boy joined the ranks! I would tell my son the same thing if he asked me for my Mohawk, it stays with me, anything else is yours!

PAPA BEAR · « **Reply #14 on:** August 09, 2009, 11:41:00 PM »

my mohawk loves me man...shoots like a dream and i am totally deadly with it out to thirty yds.i have never shot a bow more accurately,me and this bow are a part of each other and when i shoot it its pure magic.this bow will never leave my herd.gonna have a seventy pounder made soon for some grizz huntin in alaska.
i gave him two nice widows...ma111 and PL111.not bad bows for a starter eh.

Since when is there going to be a tradgang elk hunt. I'd be happy if Ben would let me drive out with him and just let me watch. Please Ben. I would probably cry alot if all I got to do is watch but it would be better than nothing,

PAPA BEAR · « **Reply #16 on:** August 10, 2009, 07:59:00 AM »
