grandma found a knight costume on clearance for my 5 year old and now he won't take it off. In this great action shot he was slaying a dragon. His backpack is his "adventure" bag with a compass, slingshot, binoculars, etc. what a fun age.

Always thought we had far too few honorable Knights these days. Nice to see someone taking up the quest for chivalry.

When i got home from work last night, my boys had on there cap gun pistols, holding their bows and also had their light sabers. They might be a little confused as to what era they are in, but there is no doubt they are 100% boy! or maybe...A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, pistol shooting, bow making jedi knights were common place.

And thankfully still in our time and our very own galaxy! I think the reason we all like this photo is that we recognize that very same thrill in ourselves.

Hey, how do you like those fingersavers on the string. All my kids friends want bows of course and I think this would make learning a lot easier for them. One less thing to wory about.How are they installed ,and do they spin on the string?

For kids bows and learning to shoot i love them. first of all its hard to find a shooting glove that small and if it hurts a kids fingers to shoot it won't be fun for them and if it isn't fun they will get a bad first impression of archery. They are installed by sliding the string right through them although sliding makes it sound easy, its really a pain to get them through. Once they are one they do tend move up and down a bit if used by themselves so a drop of glue might work, but i would also use a regular nock as well. I guess they are free to spin somewhat but i don't think it is an issue.
Bottom line: for kids and infrequent shooters (I put these on my moms bow as well) i think they are the best, one less piece of gear to keep track of and make the experience more fun.
PS these are also nice to use on a bow fishing rig so that your glove isn't getting soaked with water.

Thanks! I'll order up a couple of sets for the kids.

That's an awesome picture. You gotta make him a dragon target to shoot at.

Wish I had stuff like that when I was little
