Very cool, Dean!  Those little guys look like they mean business.  You've given them a memorable scouting experience.  Well worth the effort.  Well Done!

Good job! I( love to see the looks on those boys' faces! Nothing better than sharing the great art of bow building!

Very nice Dean.  It gives one great satisfaction to share things we love with future generations - as well as do wonders for them.  It is hard to say how the time you spent with them will influence them far into the future.  Well done.
Enjoy the hunt!  Mitch

That's awesome!  That's actually what got me started building bows.  I'm a scout leader.  I work with older boys from 14-18.  a few years ago the group of boys I was working with at the time wanted to build their own bows for an activity.  So I had to learn how.

Thanks for sharing this and passing it on.  Good on you brotha!

Great stuff, passing it on!
 Always depresses me the way kids have perfect form from the minute they pickup a bow!

I was never involved with scouts while I young. I grew up on a farm so 4-H and FFA was the thing. But sitting threw this scout meeting I was truly moved on what they do. The  awards they gave out for there individual achievements and involvement of the parents also  is something to see. There was no dry firing done that I know of. My grandson was there policing the bows quite well. Dean
