Awesome Crutch!!
If he is shooting well with the prong rest..... I say leave it. I know, LOL, I am one of those who pushed the hostage but, hey! If it aint broke, don't fix it..... He's shooting great and enjoying.........
Awesome Again!!

B.R.115, I may leave it one for a while yet to see how he gets along with it. I do have a little better one I took off my bow that I may try on it also. He doesseem to be shooting pretty good with it. We will have plenty of time to tinker with differentset upsthis summer.....should be fun!
Thanks again guys!

RE: Son and his new bow!
Crutch,
I know we PM'd back and forth a few times, I'm glad he's lovin it, that is certainly awesome!!! here's my oldest and his Edge, we've improved his form a lot since this pic was taken, pretty well fixed the backward lean, he's pullin back at 20" and we've already bumped up draw weight to 30lbs (started at 26) which we'll stay at for a while... I've gotta get a new pic of him next time we are at the range, this pic was Christmas morn.... I haven't installed the peep yet, probably next time we go to the range and we'll start dialin in his site, but for a nearly instinctive shooter he's doing quite well for a 6.5yr old... he's gonna be smokin his old man soon I'm sure... looks like you got the 08 model (realtree camo is the give away, 07's had MOBU), those in fact DO come with the hostage, my boy got the 07 with the prong, so I took the biscuit off of mine and installed it on his... at the 20yd mark he's not grouping real well yet, but he's fairly consistent at hitting the standard 5x ring target with an occasional X... what I find amazing is that even at 30lb draw he's able to shoot literally for hours... I sat and watched him fire close to 100 arrows and showed very little signs of being tired, also hasn't been sore the next day either... ah to be young again eh?? if you lived closer I'd suggest we get together and get the boys shootin together, we're lookin for a local shootin partner for him... everyone in his age range at the local indoor seems to be chicks (not a bad thing i guess, just sayin)

Crutch...dude that is awesome!! I can't wait until my kids are old enough to start shooting!! I am thinking that you may have to buy him a new target before long as well.
