Nice shooting- that's a little target. Nice looking bow he's got too. The smile tells it all- he couldn't be prouder if he shot a 10 pointer!!

thanks for sharing - good memories. Good the Mrs got pic for the scrapbook too.

:clapper:  He's a hunter for sure bud, I'd be proud of him too although my Grandfather would have made me clean & eat my kill "but that's a little much for a 4 year old" Congrats.

Thanks guys! Tonight I'm going to read him some of what you guys have wrote for extra encouragement! Guaranteed to make his night.

To those of you who commented on him hitting the small target, I'll try to post a video of him shooting the moving target I've rigged up. Some of my buddies are almost too embarassed to show up and shoot anymore!

Kid's a natural...wish I could say he got it from me. Unfortunately, after watching his Mom start shooting my longbow, I know exactly where he got it from.

He is showing all the instincts of a true hunter.
Please keep us posted of his growth as an archer.

God bless,Mudd

Mudd,

Your apology is unneccessary, but I appreciate the gesture. You expressed your opinion respectfully and I can understand your point.

Kind regards.

Walker got a real kick out of hearing what some of you have written. Thanks guys!

I've taken him to two 3d shoots this year. The morning of the first he woke up ready to "hop to it" (couldn't help myself) at 5:15a.m., even though we didn't have to leave until 7! These shoots are the highlights of his week.

Which brings up a question; would it be an issue if I brought him with me to shoot at Cloverdale? I don't have the heart to bring him along and not allow him to shoot the course.
