You may have to fiddle with it a couple times for it to work. My photobucket doesn't do videos well.

Very cool!!

Thanks! We went out today and had alot of fun. He is left handed but shoots right handed. I've tried to get him to switch but it messes him up and he gets frustrated. I just let him fling arrows and figure if it ain't broke, don't fix it. BTW we seen a nice group of doe as we were heading out of the woods tonight at 50 yds away, but I wasn't able to get the camera going in time. We just sat and watched till dark. Love that stuff!!!

Looks like Howard Hill's draw and release! Aim on the way up, touch anchor and let fly. It's Great!

Great video, still trying to convence my son he doesn't have to draw back to his ear with his bow. About one more welp on his cheek and maybe he will stop doing that,.

He's 6 yrs old. I've had a bow in his hands since he was 3. I have tried to get a bow in the hands of all the kids in our family(nieces, nephews, cousins,etc.) by the age of 4. I seen a debate on another site weather instinctive shooting, was actually instinctive. After watching every kid pick up a bow, without me really showing them how to shoot it, they "instinctivly" seem to know whats going on. I love the fact that kids are just happy watching the arrow fly. It's a good lesson to us adults.
Also, if you couldn't already tell by the sound of my voice, little dude made an awesome 8 yd shot at a stump that was about 10 inches wide and three feet tall. It totally surprised me!

I can't wait till I can get him a better bow,but the "red rocket" serves it's purpose for now.
