Most of you aren't aware that I got custody of my youngest son almost two years ago, he has expressed an intrest in the outdoors. So last year I bought him a new Quest Bow. I had a couple friends teach him to shoot (thanks Steve-O and Nanny) didn't want him picking up any of dad's bad shooting form. We practiced quite a bit last summer but I didn't feel he was quite ready to hunt with a bow so we muzzle load hunted and he smoked a big doe when we were with Nanny last September. Friday evening we end up in the Bowtech rig at the Nebraska Classic. He couldn't wait to get home and get his bow out.
He has been bugging me to get the bows out and start shooting so yesterday he shot about 20 arrows. I turned the bow up about 3 pounds so now he is close to 50 pounds. Tonight he asked to shoot again so I told him set it up and grab my bow I'll be right out. His 3rd arrow and whack. It startled him. A sweet robinhood, he was worried I would be upset. I told him no don't worry about it. I am glad it was with his practice arrows though.
I think this may be the year he realizes he is a better shot that old Dad! I can't wait to get him in the tree come September!
