Looks like he's doing great Randy, I'm anxious to see him drawing it.  Glad to hear he's turned his schoolwork around.  Tell him I expect him to show me how to flip the tips when we finally meet.  You're doing a great thing helping him.

What arrows does he have to shoot with that?

Yippee, you both did great.  Tell him congrats for me.  Can't wait to see that one in person.  Nice job on the snakeskin too.  Dang, I wish I'd have started building bows when he did...

Awesome bow and awesome accomplishment for one so young.  The bow came out great you guys must be so proud, I know I definitely would be.  Got his bow bookmarked for September Bow of the Month contest too.  :)
