    just let him shoot and shoot until he loses all his arrows. then you know he's interested.

    this is where google and youtube will not help.
    he's a kid. give him the bow and some arrows and tell him not to shoot the neighbors cat.
    2th while I agree, I would still start basic form if it were my kid. It eliminates a lot of headaches later for him. You don’t have to get all crazy with it though.

    basic form:
    put fingers on string. pull string towards face. look at what you are shooting. make arrow go there.

    basically, that's how I started.

    anyone here ever shot with Owen Jeffrey? I dont recall him ever talking to me about form or spine.

    (banded---I dont disagree with you. I just dont agree. I am sure that makes sense. IMO, people over-think every damn thing in their lives with "online research." reeltight is a big huge dork. I'm just trying to let his kids grow up normal.) haha
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    When I was young my aunt had a squirrel problem. She let me come over and shoot them. Hunt the front yard....the the back....the repeat. She had 100's. Only shoot the ones on the ground.


    That's what he needs.

    Cheap and be prepared to buy a bunch more for a kid. I remember shooting one off into the sky just to see how far it would go, went far lol.

    If you’re ever at crossroads archery ask Scott about the kid who shot the neighbors cat. It’s quite a funny story.

    ha. you're tough. you can take it.

    if your kid shoots the neighbors cat, its just really bad form to have him be a part of hiding the evidence....
