Wow that's awesome!  I would have loved something like that when I was a kid.  At that age guns wouldn't have been a good idea for me though. lol
Florida to Kwajalein to Turkey and back in Florida again.  Good to be home but man was that an adventure!

Way to go Robby!

As a kid I would have turned inside out from pure joy at an event like this.

I see by the tshirts that a local sportsmans club was involved.  I have been involved with events like this one that is a single local club, a statewide collection of local clubs, State government, and even Federal USF&W involved events.  I have seen the Turkey Federation, Elk Foundation, Ducks Unlimited, Trout Unlimited, NRA, and dozens of other organizations get involved in these events. 

And I love it.  I just love it.  It's all about the very thing that animates this Primitive Archery Forum...passing it along.  If there is an event near you that is anything like this, GET INVOLVED.  If there isn't, get people motivated to GET ONE STARTED. 
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
