Guest Bob_D Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 My kids have been watching me shoot my bow for a while now and they really got interested after I showed them the Mathews video about archery in the schools. Well, money is kind of tight but we had a lawn sale and decided that we would put the money towards getting the kids bows for early birthday presents. I finally picked the bows up today and they shot for the first time. Needless to say we had a blast. Here are the archers in action....

Guest Bob_D Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Re: Starting them young... They already love to fish too. My wife and I purchased them lifetime hunting and fishing licenses for Vermont. So the only things they will have to buy are the extras (archery, muzzleloader, turkey tags). I'm doing my best to show them what is important in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finn Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Re: Starting them young... Very cool....they look like happy kids. Is that a left handed bow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Re: Starting them young... Way to go dad! Keep 'em off the streets and in the woods. I also noticed that it looks like a left handed bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob_D Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Re: Starting them young... Darn it! I'm a moron. Yes, those are left handed bows.....I had them shooting right handed and did not even think about it. They are right handed and left eye dominate.....The same as me except I shoot right handed (Old dog can't learn new tricks ). I guess tonight I'll have them shooting the correct way (left handed) before I screw them up too bad. Thanks Finn. Yes, those are Mathews Mini Genesis bows. I just looked at some other photos and I did start them left handed. Somehow in all the excitement I must not have been paying attention.
