My boy.
 
Got him his first wheel bow yesterday. Until now he's been flinging them with a fiberglass stick bow.
Its a Browning Micro Midas. 10 inches of draw adjustment & 20 to 40 pounds draw so he can use it for years & its legal for hunting here once he's 12. :D




I think he killed it. :) A little higher than I'd like but he's only pulling 20 pounds right now so its not exactly shooting flat. Bear in mind too that he has less than 3 hours under his belt with this bow. Needs some work on his form but I believe it'll happen quickly.

great shootin, must have a great teacher. Looks like me not to many years ago, I just was talkin to my dad the other night and blamed him for creating a monster. I spend way to much time and $$ on hunting, but its all worth it. Hes been takin me out since i was 5 and we still hunt together a lot. Its a great thing to do w/ your kids

I've been looking for a nice bow for my little brother who looks like he is about the same size and age as your son. That Browning looks nice! Where did you get it and how much did it cost?

I got it from Hiller sports, a local shop. The bow, a peep, kisser, release, strap & 6 carbons set up & tuned with a rest I had came to $322. The bow alone I think was $200


Squirreldog,
He's had a gun a few years now as does his brother,;)

Leverdude 07-30-2006 09:03 PM

RE: My boy.
 
Its 4 turns out exactly. Well, almost, the bottoms a 1/4 turn further in to get the tiller straight.
Thanks for the concern tho, its appreciated! ;)
