more kids bows, their finnished with pics
« on: June 21, 2011, 09:10:18 pm »
my two youngest grandson's got to fightin over the one bow that i built the oldest one before his brother was born, so i got to making them a matched pare of hickory bows, this is #1, it's a little farther along than the other one, 48" ttt pyramid style about 16# @ 18" but big enough for them to grow with for awile, Bub

Very cool!  Nothing as cool as making a kid's bow and seeing the excitement on their faces when you hand it over...thanks for sharing.

you're right about that Lee, these bows won't get to fancy cause Colt and Levi are all boy and will use the crap outta them, they get nicer bows when they get older, Bub

aint it awful for them to want too shoot a bow that bad, nice bow you are building, but you are building memories and that is way too cool initself.

Great looking bows. Great time with the kids.  You might want to move the target closer to the fence for safety reasons. An arrow could possibly glance off the brisket area and hit the truck or even someone walking up the side walk.  ;) I've seen them go almost sideways from the target when ricocheting.
