Dad is still working on his, he was busy helping get the armguards done so the boys could shoot. His boy had never shot a bow before this one, but didn't take him long to start hitting  ;D

Great job, You have given them a memory they will never forget and possibly a passion for the rest of their life.  I love the look of satisfaction on their faces.
