Just figured I'd share this little story with you guys cause it is a lot of fun.
Long story short I shoot my bow alot in my yard. Little neighbor kid loves watching me &asking a million questions. Parents bought him a little banshee bow last Xmas, but with baseball he's been quite busy.

Last nightI get him set up and shooting. He does pretty well hitting the deer more often than not from 5 yds. Tonight he races over minutes after I get home from work, so we set up some time later after dinner. For a little kid (7 yrs old) and meager equipment, he does quite well, and then he challenges ME(shooting my recurve)to a contest[8D]So we have our shootoff, me taking the 1st round by barely an arrow. He takes the 2nd round by an arrow. The 3rd round we both moved back some. He was down to his last arrow, and it wasn't looking good for him. I made him a deal that if he put a perfect kill shot on the deer he wins.You could seethe story book ending coming the instant he released the arrow. wham, right in there, he goes charging thru the yard like he won the superbowl, it was really cool to see him so happy.

So we'll see how his enthusiasm carries, he's always seemed fascinated by me shooting. His Dad was real cool wanting me to teach his son the right way and get him on the right path. I feel this could be my chance to give something back.
