The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

Great. Nice job. Start em young, encourage them and they'll remember it forever. Quite a young man you have there. Yeah! Looks like you have another one thats showing interest also. Very good pictures defining the moment.

Thank you for all the praise guys.  Nick just read all of them to me out loud, and he was smiling the whole time.  

On a side not, I got the black nocks today Magnus, and they are perfect for what I needed them for.  They look better on  the shafts than the Bohning classic nocks do.  Thank you Matt.

Nice job!  I have to admit though, that when I first saw this I wondered why it would take 7 years for an arrow build along  :biglaugh: .

One way to look at it is he was an apprentice for that long, now he is a journeyman fletcher.  Well, not yet, we both still have alot to learn.  Atleast we are doing it together, and yes his brother is chomping at the bit to get into it too, which I love to see.

Way too cool Mike.

My daughter did some archery stuff for grade school science, she never built any arrows, but her flight charts got displayed in the main hallway cabinet.

Here is a picture of his finished project.  It gets turned in tomorrow, and the Art/Science fair is on Thursday, February 17th.  I'll let you all know how he does.  I can honestly say my boys make me proud in everything they do, and atleast try.
