Title: daughter's first set
Post by: Stringman on August 23, 2012, 07:07:21 pm

My little 5 yr old saw "Brave" this summer and told me in no uncertain term that she wanted a bow and arrows. Now inwardly I was grinning, but wanted to make sure it was the right time. So I waited till she had mentioned it a few times before I jumped into action. The bow was easy (took me about 6 hrs,) but the arrows were a little harder. I found some real weak spined cane I had and used poke berry to give them a little color. Then fletched them with factory cut and dyed feathers. After that I was stumped for the quiver. That was when I got in contact with Gothmog over a potential trade. I came to realize he was the woven quiver master and we quickly made a deal. Josh went the extra mile and made that litlle thing look great (thanks buddy!!) So now the hard part... My wife wants me to wait for her birthday which is in October. I am never good at waiting.  ::) So there is a strong chance we will have more pics soon!  :laugh:

Don't wait til her birthday. Set the hook right now and you may
have a shooting buddy for life. A five year old could be on to other
things real quick.

Nice set up for sure.
