Looks like help is on the way! Carl and I would like to thank all who expressed an interest, offered archery accessories and finally made it happen. Man, it feels good to be part of such a great organization of people with such big hearts. God Bless!

Tim I have not. Decided to meet the young man first and get an idea of physical size and strength. Turns out he is left handed.
I will keep everyone in the loop and appreciate all the offers.

What about a book or DVD. I would be glad to send something. Sure wish I was close enough to help out in person.

Got to spend 1 1/2 hours with Kyle and his grandpa this afternoon. We spent time going over basics,equipment and exercises for the rhomboid.
Though Kyle was way over bowed, my 42 and his cousins 48 he was able to let some arrows fly and hit the target every time.
Turns out Kyle is
left handed
but
right eye dominant
and he really wants to shot his cousins RH bow. We decided to start off right handed.
Was able to get a light weight bow tonight after leaving and will be seeing him again tomorrow.

Thought I would give an update. Kyle has shown some real improvement. He has built up his muscle strength, his form and is shooting very nice groups within the 10 yard limit I set for him.
He was a little startled when I took away the first bow I provided (PSE recurve 20lb) after a set of drills telling him it would not do anymore. Walked him over to my truck and presented a 35# Samick Sage and some arrows I had fletched up for him.
Wasn't sure how he would handle the 15# increase. This young man showed me. turns out he had been using the form master on his uncles 45# bow and working out regularly while shooting the 20 for form.
I am having a great time working and shooting with Kyle.
Bill I know you really want to make those arrows. I just cant tell you what to make due to the progress Kyle is making. At 35# he is at the minimum florida draw weight for hunting.
Merry Christmas to all.
PS. if anyone has a need for gently used PSE 25# youth recurve please post here. If more then one person responds in the next week I will have a drawing on New Years eve.

Les, i have a perfect person in mind that could use the recurve, His name is Adonis and is 7 years old , he knew nothing about hunting until he met me and is fascinated by my bow and arrows and the deer i have killed. He is being raised by his cousin because his father is not around and his mother don't want him. it's sad and his cousin does not have extra money for a bow. He shows interest in shooting. It would be a blessing for him, and make him happy. thanks.

If you haven't found someone send me a PM. I can contact the National Archery in the Schools Program coordinator for Florida's Wildlfife Agency, who probably has an instructor near this youngster. The Eleven Steps to Archery Succss taught in the NASP are identical whether one shoots traditional or not.

The bow that started this is on it's way to to the Great North. GREATBROWNKNOCKEMDOWN's story fit the ticket and it is on the way.
Just finished a FF flemish string for Kyles 35# and hope to get out there this week.
