Man, I gotta tell you this is a whole lot better reeading than something about "What's the best broadhead".

Now that I think of it I have a story of my own if you guys don't mind.

I was doing some indoor shooting this past winter and there was a family of four came in every week. Daughter was 15 and boy was 14, and a good sized 14.

I spent several evenings helping the girl, as whoever set her up with her Browning Micro Midas had it almost 3" too short. So I got this adjusted and spent some eveings helping her with her "new" form.

The son was using Grandpa's old recurve and bouncing arrows all over the place. One night I asked his dad if he had plans to get the boy a bow and adad said the boy didn't want to spend dad's money. I got the idea that they weren't real well off, but just seeing them doing something as a family made me feel good about them.

I got home one night and pulled out my old Pearson Freedom from 2003. Hadn't shot it in 4 years. Changed the draw length mod and jacked the weight down to 45# (50-60 bow) which I figured he could handle. Got out some old Beman ICS 400's, sight, rest, and got it all set up. Then did some rudimentary tuning and sighted a pin in for 20 yards.

The following wed. night I let him look at it and showed him some basic shooting form. Let me tell you, he had a ball and was at least hitting that Vegas face instead of all over the target butt. He was in love and his dad was pleased.

At the end of the evening he and his dad came over and thanked me for letting him shoot it. That's when I told them both to take the bow and all home---it was his to keep.

I know I could have sold that bow for a few hundred, but archery has been good to me over the past 36 years so I guess this was one of my ways of "Giving something back".

I don't see them very often, but Jason is still loving his "new" bow. That's all I need to know.

NOW, sorry for the hijack, but I had to get this off my chest.
