some winter projects with the kids.. now to shoot em.
« on: January 23, 2013, 11:46:00 PM »
Had all these guys out shooting last year pulling arrows out of a bucket. So far this winter they made some side quivers and half a dozen arrows from surewood kids arrow shafts. Got out the silver spray paint and sharpies and went to town. They picked their fletching colors. I did most of it but they were involved in every step and are pretty proud of the stuff they made. Got to get em out shooting. I tried to talk them into chasing rabbits with me but they said they didn't want to kill a bunny. I doubt if the bunnies would be in danger so maybe we'll get out. Utah is supposed to be having a pretty good year for em.

Yeah Steve they weren't too pumped about the photo op. I do mine 4 fletch but with one jig I figured they could handle 3. Using the metallic silver for the crown was a big hit.  Now they all want to go "arching"

Oh dad, not another picture...haha  Looks like they are ready for action. The next generation to help ol' dad pack out meat. I see your plan! A little older and they will be shooting rabbits and everything else that they can.

Kids, great job on the arrows! Very nicely done. Nothing better than a full quiver of arrows you've built.

Rio, I like the green! Of course I'm partial to green and yellow.     :thumbsup:

I've not had the privilege of meeting the other archers. Great job on your arrows!
