Nothing that I did was anything really special.  Just got a chance to spend some time shooting with a great kid.  Lots of people here do that every week.  If you haven't tried it, find a youngster that you think might enjoy it and give it a try.  I can guarantee you will get as much out of it as they do!

There is one more traditional shoot later this month near Justin and Kelly's home.  It is at Bigfoot Archers in Lake Geneva.  Unfortunately, I'm going to be in WY at that time, so I'm hoping that Kelly will be able to bring Justin to that shoot and I'll try to find another Trad Ganger or two that can have a chance to get to shoot with him.

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

Thank you Mr. Mecredy for the Mad Dog bow that you had built for Justin! It will be really put in use now with the arrows Whip had made and the quiver that Whip had given to Justin and the 3d deer target I bought at Gander Mountain.  Looking for the 3d Frog target now, Justin couldn't wait to shoot that one!  I will keep you all posted on our progres!  Looking forward to the shoot in Lake Geneva!

I would also like to thank all the Tradgang members for everything that they have done for my son,(Justin) Christopher, Kelesy, Larry and Liz, your generosity and heart felt comments mean a lot to the family.
