Alisa, maybe you should get a bow for yourself. That way you can join in her fun.

I live in Overton, just an hour from Vegas, If you ever need help. The Las Vegas Archers have a range up at Mountain Springs, you might check them out. Here's their site.

Welcome to the gang. Wish I could help you more with a place to shoot there. Lots of good folks here though I am sure you will find someone able to help.

Welcome to the gang, Alisa and Sierra.     :wavey:    You’ve come to the right place to learn about traditional archery and you have the right person building Sierra’s bow.

I can’t help you with a local club or place to shoot but as far as videos, you may want to get the Masters of the Barebow series for instructions. Also, get a copy of Jay Kidwell’s book Instinctive Archery Insights. Both of these helped me out when I was getting started.  Mike at The Nocking Point    http://www.thenockingpoint.com/about.htm   can set you up with these items. Watch the video section of the site too
  http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=69   for a good price on the video.

Good luck! I look forward to seeing the family’s progress.

Welcome to tradgang.  You made a great choice in getting a bow from Mike.  He made three for my boys and they love 'em.  You might gather some information about lessons, or kids shooting clubs by contacting an archery shop in your local area.  Good luck!

Welcome from Indiana!

Check out Three Rivers Archery. They have this "Noggle Stone" book that they sell and they have the gear that goes along with the book that would be cool Christmas gifts.

Also, check out the shooter's forum here on Tradgang. I found recently, at the top of the forum, a thread that has photos and videos of several different peoples form and what they needed to do to improve.

I also think you should get a bow and see how much fun it is! What a fun, mother/daughter thing to do together!

I wonder if this is the same Dan that is the owner of the Archery store here mentioned in another post.

Looks like you're on a roll!

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Okay…I’m going to be the sacrificial lamb here and ask this question. Now keep in mind I’m only asking this because I looked at your profile…are you really a belly dancer?    :goldtooth:
