Passing It On (Like We All Try To Do)
« on: August 08, 2013, 09:14:00 AM »
Yesterday I was helping some friends/neighbors (of NA bloodlines) start out shooting traditional bows, as their ancestry called to them to do. My Distinctive pleasure. This is Timmy, son of my next door neighbors.

   

Timmy's second cousin, Shawnee., getting his form right.
about an hour ago ·

   

Timmy's Cousin & Shawnee's Dad, Louis Campbell (and a teacher of NA dancing and tribal traditions/history.

   

This was Timmy's second session (most call him Tim, as he is 35 now but I'm still stuck on on what I've always called him - LOL). It was the first session for the others, while visiting the Campbells.

   

Timmy's nephew, and Shawnee's cousin, Jarod, and Shawnee (hamming for the camera - LOL) He said, "How about this one?"

   

Shawnee passing the gear and some instructions on to Jarod (who will get more sessions as he wants them, since he lives here and his Mother wants to learn also.

Jarod getting his elbow up, It was a great session and everyone was in full enjoyment mode (including yours truly).

 


A final shot for Jarod. Timmy's comment about his personal feelings toward Traditional archery, "Bernie's created a Monster here in me." - LOL - Again, my pleasure.

Way to go, Bernie!  It's really hard (read that as impossible) not to share, isn't it.  And fun, too.

Thank you, Mudd, and others - I truly love starting folks out in Trad. You know, those who can't shoot, start others off - LOL. I always say, I start folks off and, if they stick with it, within 3 months they are usually shooting circles around me. (and then I come to hate them    :D    - just kidding there)

Nice pictures .... Great job getting them started.  There is something special about seeing that arrow fly for the first time!

For sure, and I love to watch "the arc of the arrow" as others are shooting, which we don't get to do when we shoot (or aren't supposed to - LOL)

The rest look like they took to it like a duck to water... only YOU, Bernie, would introduce Native Americans back to the bow! LOL...good on ya!

Naw Dave - actually that was my fault - he didn't realize I snuck the camera out there, and I forgot to disable the flash (he's a little "goosey") and I shot it just AFTER his release. He was ready to do battle with aliens from outer space, I think. When He saw me with the camera, he burst out laughing. Actually his shot was good, as it got off before the flash did. We all had a laugh over it.

Thanks, all, for the positive comments and for looking.

I wish there was a Bernie's Back Yard in MY neighborhood!
Looks like a ton of fun. You are a grand teacher on a number of levels, friend.
