Enjoy it with me
« on: January 09, 2014, 02:49:00 PM »
My only son,22, finally asked me to shot a bow,I am a lefty with some 100 bows in my stable but not a single one that has his dexterity.
So I asked a friend to loan me his Green Stripe riser and I set it with some Rose Oak limbs,I have plenty.
After few arrows he felt in love with the bow so I am going to buy that riser,thanks to the TV serial "Arrow".
Next he asked me to hunt with me to see how it works.
I am at the seven heaven,never pushed him to grab a bow!

I always looked forward to bow hunting with my son. He was crazy about shooting 3D when he was young but once he turned 15 he didn't want anything too do with archery or hunting.  

Enjoy while you can and hope it will strengthen the bond between you.

That is terrific Felix!  

My 34 year old son and I have been bowhunting together since he was 13.  

My grandson told me on Monday this week that he "made" the archery team at his elementary school.  I'm very proud of this for a variety of reasons. I've been careful not too push either. I just make sure opportunity and guidance are available.

As with your son, neither of these young men are left-eye dominant so I'm not much help giving them my bows.

A benefit not to be ignored is that these young'ns are great help dragging bow-killed beasts! In fact, my son has me scout the drag and he does all the pulling!

Awesome! Something like that makes a Dad proud. Enjoy sharing your adventures with your son, because it doesn't get any better than that.

How fortunate you are!

Fantastic Felix. My brother just picked up a trad bow for the first time this year after many many years of hunting with a compound. So I know the emotions you are experiencing. Good luck to you both!
