Just a Lazy Sunday Morning

[Kanga]

Well this mornin I headed out to do the final shooting and testing of Will's Bow and to give young Jackson his Burnie Special.

I started off by stringing up Will's Bow and handing to Jackson to see if he could draw it back, I know it was a cruel thing to do to a 6 yr old.

Well he tried his best to pull her back but to no avail, it just just a tad too much for him.

So off to the car I go and get the Burnie Special and said you wanna try this one.

"You bet" was the response I got so I strung her up for him.

He loaded up an arra went to pull it back and I reminded him of the previous lesson, so he carefully set is bow hand then made sure he had the string in the first groove of his fingers.

Talk about a natural with a long bow I thought he would be all over the place as he has only ever shot a compound with sights.

Boy was I wrong his first couple of shots where right on line but low so I instructed him on how to aim.

That was all it took for him to start slamming the target bag.

Here he is on his first few shots.





His follow through.



Ok so now he wanted to go out to the wooded section where we have some 3d targets set up.





The shot up turkey we decided to make this one tough and shoot through the "wait a while" vine.



Notice only 1 arrow in the target.:d A real hard 1/4ering too shot I totally missed



By now we had been shooting for close to 2 hours and of course he has more stamina than this old boy and wanted 1 last shot.



Oh all shots we took this morning where from 20 to 25 yards.

Great fun was had by all even tho he handed me my butt :d

Thats cool. I can't wait to put one in my boys hand.

The really cool thing is he is so eager to learn, he is like a sponge just sucking up everything he is told and shown.

How yall like that red and black string. Bet you cant tell what college i went too. I make all my strings red and black. So if you get a bow that has a red and black string on it, It just might be a burnie special.
