Title: Warrior Princess
Post by: dmenzies1950 on October 06, 2012, 10:17:49 pm: Hey Guys,

I delivered a couple of bows to the grandkids when we visited them in Colorado in July. The pictures of my grandson didn't turn out, I will try to rectify that soon, but thought I would show you some of my 7 granddaughter. I made her bow out of a snakey piece of vine maple. It's 20# at 18". and is 58" ntn. The pictures of the bow aren't great, but it's my granddaughter that I'm showing off here anyway! She's already begging her dad to take her hunting with him. I love it! A girl after her grandpas heart!

I noticed that I made a slight typo. I don't have 7 granddaughters, she's 7 years old!

Post by: dmenzies1950 on October 07, 2012, 03:11:51 pm: Thanks Guys for the kind words. Needless to say she is pretty special to her grandma and papa! Yes Rick those are safety arrows complete with suction cups, they are easier on the side of the house! She doesn't miss often but sometimes she gets distracted.

Her shooting form can be attributed to her good Daddy! He is a traditional shooter himself and is a patient teacher to his two children. My daughter has a good man! Dale

We figured as much, because you still have hair!

How ever many grand kids you have they are lucky to have a grandpappy like you.

That reminds me! I have a son due in December, I better get started on his bow!
