Depends on how you want to look at it. In some ways having a working child pay for his gas is a good thing. These days gas isn't cheap. I think he said it's almost 30 miles one way to his nearest Bowtech dealer. For me personally that is 4 gallons of gas round trip with is about $16 here.

But I agree with OP. I'd be chomping at the bit to take my boys to the pro-shop if they asked. (If they were older) I'd much rather have them hooked on archery than other things. I think part of Bowtech360's problem is that his parents aren't hunters.
