Title: After the Cloverdale shoot.
Post by: bowtarist on June 12, 2013, 12:53:56 pm

I took my 8 yr old to his first 3D shoot at Cloverdale last weekend. To say the least, I shot like crap, but he shot real good, so it was a good day all the same for both of us.  When we got home he couldn't put the bow down, he satarted talking about a boar target he had seen at Big Jim's shop that we couldn't afford and thought we should make our own.  Here's the pics.  I had to unstring his bow to stop the arrow flying Saturday night, but he learned to string it back up himself on Sunday Morning.  Sheesh, I spent 8 years trying to get this kids to shoot and when he finally took to it, it's all I can do to keep up with them. Thanks for lookin, dpgratz
