My son got his first real bow today. It's a long bow with 15# pull.

All I can say is 10yds on a 3d target, 4 arrows, 4 dead deer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And yes, that's right. 10yds not 10 paces not 10 feet, 10 yds!!!!

Now I'm ticked!!! I took some pic's of him and his grouping on my cell phone and can't get it to e-mail to me[:@][:@]

He's holding a good 8" group with 4 arrows!

REMEMBER! He's 6 years old and today was his first day EVER shooting a real bow!

I know it sounds like a bragging dad (and it should) but he is really good at everything he likes. I am really amazed by him.

So I am assuming you are sending him out for the bowhunting contest?

I think at that age, they all do pretty good at the things they like.

Grats though. I am going to approach my 7yr old daughter and see if she wants to try it out.

He's a....whats that word???

Umm...prodigy!child prodigy.

congrats thats what makes this sport great hes having fun and going to be your best hunting buddy

Thats great....start them early! My son started at 5 years old. When he was 7 years old he was MN State Archery Champ. He shot a 293 with 36 X's. (for those who don't shoot contests...that 53 bullseyes out of 60 shots....36 were in the very center of the bullseye) Needles to say he loves to shoot! Now he's 8 and average score is 296! His target bow we keep at 25lbs.and his hunting bow at 33 lbs. MY daughter just started also......at 6 years old and she is shootingroughly 230 now but she's drastically improving each time we shoot.( I can see another state champ comming on)

They love shooting....start them early.

Good Luck!

Good for him! Sounds like he'll like it even more if he keeps improving as he gets older.

(Sounds like he's got a great dad too).

You really shouldn't have him shooting groups atyour cell phone if you expect it to e-mail pictures to you

Yeah but the smaller the target the better his groups got! LOL.[8D]

Congrats - That's what it's all about.

My son is 13 months. I can't wait to teach him how to shoot.
