Intresting question as I have to chuckle a little because my mom and brother and I use to go to down towne Lake Worth in fla when I was about 5 or 6 and I would always buy one of those wooden kids bow that was real kool looking with indian colours on it with a real thick shoe lace bow string and arrows with suction cups, but don't tell my mom, I use to take the cups off the arrows and sharpen the wood. I guess to this day I can't blame on anyone the way I shoot since I taught myself. Bobby
