One of the things that I love about attending Compton's and ETAR are the families, especially the kids shooting. Three years ago I called Tracey and David of St Joe River Bows and ordered a pair of kids bows for my grandkids. I've had a blast shooting with them. Let's see some pictures of kids with bows!

Not my kid but a new friends son that showed some interest so I said come shoot my bow. Kid did pretty darn good!

Sean, you correct. I did not have someone show me, but these kids follow directions very well.
Here's "The Callahan Clan " lol.[attachment=1,msg3026508] This is our youngest Darci who was born with no thumbs and needs help drawing the bow but she try's her best and doesn't give up easy.
[attachment=2,msg3026508] This one is Kaci shooting a RKKote recurve from Richard . She has really good form .[attachment=3,msg3026508]. Ande has the gray sweat jacket on and our oldest . She turns 18 in Jan.
