Sounds like y'all need to start eating your wheaties. Maybe then you'll be able to draw bows with the big kids.
If you are not going to put in the time to learn how to use the equipment or draw it properly, or spend the time at the range to be proficient then you have no business being in the woods with a weapon. If you want to watch the birdies and squirrel do it without a bow. I can not see wounding an animal just to say you fling arrows at game.
Truer words have never been spoken. I think some people get their jollies just saying "my son bow hunts, and he's only 3 years old," or "my wife is a big-time bowhunter." Pads their ego or something. They leave out the important details that you could throw the arrows harder than their bows are shooting, or that they've crippled 12 deer in 3 seasons.
