Beaten by a 12 year old
« on: December 12, 2015, 04:36:00 PM »
Damn it. Just shot in the back yard, at a tiny stuffed sheep dog toy.  My Big Jim Buffalo against my youngest Tyler with his St. Joe River long bow.
 He is twelve.
I started strong, and was crushing.
We just finished, and he won. He really won. We were both inches away on each shot, literally inches where my wife had to judge. The little bast%$@ beat me legitimate. I'm beyond thrilled and totally pissed at the same time!
Tomorrow we battle again!

Be careful for what you wish for and thankful at the same time! I was there once... and still trying to catch up. Blessings.

I laughed out loud at that one!
Dad calls a legitimate win by his illigitimate son? Oh man that's funny!

Dave you cant teach them everything you know starting at a young age and expect to stay ahead in the race! Nice shooting young man, nothing better than whippin' on the old man!

Sounds like this could be a recurring clash of the titans!!  Can't think of a better way to spend the winter.
