Didn't read everything, but I'd always recommend to keep it as fun as possible for youngsters.

Personally, my son would rather hunt chip monks then turkeys (he became legal this year to hunt turkey). So guess what we hunt. Its just fun watching him have fun. Sitting still just isn't for him right now and maybe never will be. But that's OK, we can work around that. It's keeping the bow in his hand that's important right now.

Another suggestion for practice is this. Keep a schedule. We keep a certain night open every week to shoot, he doesn't make plans with any friends unless they also want to shoot. If he wants to rove, we'll do that, or if he wants to go to the club and shoot 3-d or arials, etc. We work in other nights when we are free and keep that open. One thing that gets discouraging is just shooting at the same target day in and day out.
