Is this the same guy you caught 3 times?

Actually no but I caught him again too. He done ran out of lives. He wasn’t in a cage.

I might have been a couple of years older when I started, I’m not sure...

... but balloons, pie plates and fence lizards were never again safe... I killed more balloons and pie plates than fence lizards, but not for lack of trying!

Your boy looks smarter than me at that age, so he’d probably know better... but you might go ahead and remind him that when you send an arrow with the pointy end straight up, it’s that end that comes back down first... I almost poked a hole in my brother before we figured that out

He’s been shooting a bow for the past 3 years just not a longbow. He’s already had that talking to! Lol
When he started he liked to swing it all around while drawing it back. That little compound thing he was using has a #22 lb pull and this is #25. This bow isn’t a toy though and shoots pretty fast. It’ll stick in me and he’ll kill or hurt bad anything he shoots with it. He’s been told the chickens and cats are off limits.

Oh I forgot about his compound.... kids grow up backwards these days on so many things... they start with the stuff that had to work our way up to, and then move back to the ‘retro’ stuff we started with, lol

My first bow was a little yellow long bow.

Hey...I just noticed the arrow... nice shot!

That was a fluke. I thought that was pretty cool to catch the arrow in flight like that. Lol
Yeah he started with a little orange Horton compound job. The longbow styles were such junk and I wasn’t sure if he would like it. The other day he asked if he could get a bow like mine, got lucky and found that one for sale.
Correction: he’s been shooting the other bow for two years this would be his third year. So he started when he just turned 5.
Here he is at 5. Lol

I couldn’t find anything worth it longbow wise when I bought his first bow. They were all dinky little toys that didn’t look like they would last a week without breaking. He’s also smart enough to realize his was a toy.
He asked me today after 3 arrows if he could deer hunt with it.
Maybe if he gets good enough I’ll let him chase squirrels with me.
I’m gonna teach him to put feathers on the arrows too. Especially if he keeps pulling them out of the target by the fletching!

Went saltwater fishing today. Now I remember why I don’t go fishing often...I suck at fishing.
