RE: I'm buying a Mathews!
That is awesome Troy. I am super excited for my son to start shooting. Is there an age limit on hunting licenses out there? I know some states have a 12 year minimum on age.
I started hunting when I was 6 and those are still some of my best hunting memories. I know your sons will be saying the same thing some day!
Still, I hate to tell you, but I am the World's #1 Dad and I got the mug to prove it
Best you can hope for is #2.

It will be fun watching these two brothers grow up 2 years apart..
Seven.. yeah Jess is 6 gonna be 7 in April so hes pretty strong..
Tyson is 5 in June..he wont get the Genesis for a couple years... I dont know though..he may want one once he gets ahold of brothers. ...
Good Luck to yours as well! very cool.. I'll have to see how you guys like the Edge over the long haul!

How do you feel about that bow not having a draw stop? I don't mean the stop on the cams, I mean, you can't set it for a specific draw length, right? In other words, if he's, lets say, a 22" draw, you can't set it for that, and one time may draw it 21 inches and 23 the next..... Do you think bad habits could be formed?
I'm just asking, I have very limited experience w/ it. Either way, it's freakin awesome that your son will be shooting with you!!

Hey Troy, sounds like the apple didn't fall very far from the tree. You got to be a happy dad.
I want to get another bow also, I really don't need one but I think I be getting one before the season. If I can't shoot good at least I want to look good.
