Mossy, I used to use an old recurve when my boy Joe decided he wanted to start hunting. He picked himself up a nice used PSE from a school buddy. He practised religiously and I did not. Dads sometimes just don't make the time to do what is needed to become proficient like yourself. After several misses with my ol' recurve and seeing my son become quite a dead eye I gave it some thought. He gently kidded me about some of my misses and half the fun of hunting with my best buddy was relaying my latest near-miss story and just getting the biggest kick over his laughter at the ol' boys expense. He decided the best way to get me out of the stone age and into the modern era of bow hunting was to present me with his used PSE. He had decided on a new Vortec. I gratefully accepted and it dawned on me that I had better get my butt out to start practicing this new fangled gift. Now I can put some tight groupings like yourself and my son can. Bottom line Mossy, treat your dad as your best friend, tread lightly, and get him to loosin up by having some laughs over those missed shots. Some guys are like the golfers who end up throwing clubs, etc. and end up miserable. Assure your dad that hit or miss you love him just the same. Make sure he knows that he does not have to be as good as you. The real thing I want from you dad is YOU!
