My youngest son got his first longbow for Christmas...complete with leather hip quiver, a dozen arrows, arm guard and glove - the complete kit. And he is rapt!!!
Gidget has given us a target butt to punch a few holes in and we've been having a blast!
I'm looking forward to getting back into some club shoots so I can spend some more time with my boys, sharing a common interest! (I think the competition is going to be fierce!
)
...yes, Kimall and Chucker....it's a Gringa!!! Gee I'm impressed with how the arrows flick out of such a small bow! 15@20

Shooters get to 50m to shoot, but only a hunter gets inside 20m to hunt.

Top stuff mate and great to see!!!
I hope you get to spend many hours of fun with the boys.
I really like that last photo of Josef where he has just released - great shot.
It's good to see both boys know the proper side to shoot their arras from also.

Good stuff, Paul!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

That's a lovely Christmas gift.
Could you post more detailed pics of the bow and how long is it?

Love it.
Can't wait for my two boys to get a little older.
Huxley will start coming to a couple of shoots this year with me to get him into the camping and away from mum stuff. I'm very excited about that.
