Bummer! What type of wood was made from?
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Sorry to hear that.  Is it the first time your son has shot that bow.  Any chance he has a longer draw?

He had shot it many times.  It was red oak.
