Newcomers...
« on: September 06, 2011, 06:29:00 PM »
I have been teaching my nephew Mike since last summer.I am sure some of you remember him from JLMBH last February.
This year, my almost four year old, Jace, couldnt want to "shoot the real bows" with us.
I have to brag a bit. Both of these kids, for their ages, are pretty impressive. I have a feeling it wont be long until I am posting hero pics of these two. Both are already begging to go small gaming.

Off the knuckle

Form are works in progress. LOL.

That's too cool!!!  I have twin nephews who are starting to get into shooting, too.  One is right handed the other's a lefty.  Have you found it to be more difficult teaching the lefty than the right handed one?  I have, just wondering if that's typical.  TRW

I am having a little bit of a tough time teaching lefty as I am a righty.
YORNOC, the 12 year old's bow was made by Crimsonmist on here. Olequa bows. A single piece of ash with riser lams.
The ELB my son is shooting was a gift to him from McGroundstalker. It is still a bit too long for him. Lol. I beliieve it was made in the 40's.
And thanks for saying my backyard is paradise-like. I agree. Lol.

ishiwannabe, can you take them small gaming? May not shoot a rabbit but they will never forget it.
