There is a New Member to Our "Club"
...the club of those hopelessly addicted to bowhunting!
My 13 year old step son has been shooting off and on for a few years and I recently bought him a new "real" bow, which he helped pay for. Now that he has his own bow (he was sharing with his brother) he has been shooting everyday and has been scouting with me all summer. I took him today to a nearby 3D range and he shot great! He kept telling me how much fun he was having and how he can't wait until bow season.
I have a nice 6 point that I'm going to try to put him on for his first bow kill, but I know he'll be happy with whatever comes along. Can't wait to see him draw back on his first deer!!!!!!!

That is AWESOME! Thanks for introducing the kid to this wonderful sport. Strenght in numbers is the key.
I can't wait until I can put a bow in my sons hand. He's two now and gets really excited when he sees daddys bow. I'm sure he'll follow in my footsteps. He's always taking my hunting magazines and pointing out deer.

He's pulling almost 45 pounds and is exceptionally good at figuring yardage. I would have him step up to the stake and guess, then used the range finder so he could see just how close he was....he hit quite a few right on the head!
