Today was the day!!! My Son Lochlan turned 6 today. Just today his Mom brought him by my work to see me. He wanted to try to shoot my bow. I have a space I can shoot it there. He just can't pull it back. He said to me "Daddy, I wish I had a bow I could shoot." "Maybe someday." I said. lol!
Little did he know, a very generous family here on trad gang had sent a bow, quiver, homemade arrows, extra self dyed feathers, points, glove...everything for him.
He hit the target with EVERY shot. EVERY ONE!!!
His 3rd shot actually hit the bull!! I was amazed!!
The arrows laying on the grass did hit the target. They just didn't have the umph to stick in at that range.
I told him about the family passing the bow to him and when we have outgrown it we have to pass it to another. He thought that sounded fun. Of course I did add in he'd be able to get a new bow that fit him when he's bigger.
What a great act of kindness. Great way to help bring in new archers.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story.
I'm a proud DADDY!!
