I'll side with RWK also. Get the adults to give up a little bit on opening day and teach the kids then. Quit being so obsessed with their own success that they can't put in a little time to set the hook for their kids. I would rather sit with my son or daughter and share that great moment of their first deer with them. I can give up some of my time to be with with them on that moment. As far as CattNY's idea of bowhunting being easy, you either were lucky with a bow and got a deer quick, or you're so scared of treestands that you couldn't pry your hands off the tree long enough to draw a bow. The reason that people embrace bowhunting is to see deer move in "normal" conditions, and for more of a challenge. This being true, alot of guys do hunt out of blinds, and stillhunt with a bow. Some with great success. Its called adapting to conditions. Being a bowhunter doesn't mean your "arse" has to grow roots in the tree. Bowhunters that do these things find a whole different dimension to the hunt. I'll give you that technology has brought the bow a long way, but be real. If it was such a cake walk, you would be out there with a bow even if it meant hunting them eye to eye.
