Shooting targets at LB's with the kids

The young fella has a bad habit of pulling back to past his ear, he hates it when the arrow comes out slow, so no matter how many times I show him & stand there every shot & tell him, it goes to at least his ear every draw :roll:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then LB was like..... when are you going to take photo's of me :cry: :wink:

Image

Image

Then I was just a split second slow as he released & I ended up with a frame full of this :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Image

But we had a good time, although shooting arrows with a 5 & 3 year old can be very stressful :wink: :roll: But it is worth it........... I think :? :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Great photos mate!!! I really like the fourth one - the concentration! :D

I think your little daughter could give you some lessons of shooting with a Mediterranean release. :wink: :lol:

May I suggest you make the kids some decent arras mate as those broom handles aren't much good for them. :P :D

Yer mate I am going to, those arrows just filled the gap as they broke all the fibre glass ones :lol:
Yes I made sure when I started teaching them that they used a split fingers style :lol: & they both surprise me, they may not be hitting the spot accurately, but geez they consistantly miss in a similar area :lol: So as they grow older I am sure they are going to whip me good & proper :wink: :roll:

Fantastic photos. The look of concentration on the little ones is priceless.

I made some child sized arrows using the 1/4" dowels from 3Rivers. I ordered them when I ordered fiberglass. With a 1/4" point and some 4" shield cut feathers cut down to about 2.5" they are superb.

That last photo looks just right for a 'Wanted' Poster!

Well mate, I couldn't handle the guilt you had laid down upon me :wink: Not to mention once the wife read your post, she knew exactly where all her fly Rides had gone :shock: :mrgreen: (whoops, did I say that out loud) :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

So the very arrows the kids are shooting in the above photo's were modified to make some arrows that suit a little better :lol:
The Daughter ended up with a 19" arrow & the boy got 2 arrows from 1 with an arrow length of 15.5" 8)

So no pics of them in action yet, but a quick pic of them before they get launched 8)
