One of our local sportsman clubs had a youth mentors gathering today. The DNR was also there putting on a hunters safety class. A couple very good friends of mine helped me out. I demonstrated some Flint knapping and showed how a selfbow progressed from a stave to a bow. My friends were a huge help, don't think I could have done it without them. We had lots of interest and lots of questions. I really enjoyed it and I think my friends, the kids and their parents did to. A few kids and parents even got to shoot a selfbow for the first time. I think there were some well planted seeds. I really wanted to get more pictures but we stayed very busy. Just have a couple pictures from right after we finished setting up before the kids got there. These are some good friends Left side is Gary middle is Randy. They are the groundhog hunters I've talked about before. On the right is my friend DJ. He loves shooting selfbows and has almost shot as many of my bows as I have. If you guys are lurking out there thanks for the help really appreciate it.

Good job Guys !!!!!!!!!!  :OK Bob

bjrogg:
Thanks Bob, it really was a lot of fun to show all the kids and their parents a little bit of our world. I highly recommend it for anyone who has a opportunity like this to give it a try. Hopefully you can find a couple good buddies to give you a hand and be ready for lots of questions.

Nice job BJ

JW_Halverson:
This mentoring is fantastic.  In virtually EVERY category across the board hunter numbers are falling.  Good to see people offering mentorship to welcome others into fellowship.
