I have found great joy in introducing young'ns to the traditional archery world. Since 2004 these are the bows that I have made and gave to the young'ns in hopes it may spark an interest in them. Of course, the interest is always high when you are young and get a new toy, I just hope that they never forget the initial joy and carry the interest for a lifetime.
I have at least 5 more osage staves that are to short for adult bows, so I plan on working them and giving them away to young'ns in the future or as the opportunity arises.
In all my years of hunting and shooting all sorts of things, I have found the gift of a bow to a young'n is a priceless reward to me. It gives me some satisfaction that I may be giving back something to a sport that has given so much to my quality of life.
I encourage everyone to try and do the same as the gratification you will get in return is ten fold! You don't have to make a bow, you can find your own means of giving back. You will find that most of you probably already have given back and know exactly what I mean.
If you have,,, THANK YOU! And if you have not given back, I'm sure you will someday, you are all wonderful people here at Trad Gang.
