Jack jack has been brought into the fold.

#1 Post by stumper »

A box is here awaiting Jack who is on his way home from the doctor. He has no idea what's in store for him.
I entered him into a giveaway on the other site and he won a pup, tab, and arrows. We already have the older two on Maddog Pups. So I got the pups out and my maddog. We are ready for a bonafide family shoot. My kids love trad and always want to come with me when I hunt. Soon kids soon I tell them. It kills me not to take them. But roughing it on public land is no place for a 7 year old or younger. I easily pass 4 miles every hunt of walking.

Behold an image just popped in my head by golly if it ain't magical and I hope it comes to be. A family reunion many years from now where kids come with their families for a meal. Afterward, a stumping contest breaks out.... 4 kids.... time is precious. Get ready yall for worlds cutest archer. He'll be home soon. Hope my kids shooting warms yalls hearts like it does mine.

Notice a pattern with the bows? The.back two are mine.

Special special thanks to mike with maddog archery!
Special thanks also to Mike's archery leather and to budb!

Congrats to you and Jack! You must be very proud, and I'm guessing he's gonna be one heck of an archer!

As with all things in life with children. I hope they all surpass my abilities in anything and everything by a long shot.

My Grandkids are in their 20's now and they still tell and remember stories about about the adventures we shared with the bows beginning back when they were as small as your young one is now. Happy Trails to you and yours.....

So far as I know, neither they nor my two daughters have ever touched a compound, all they have known are their longbows and recurves. Although there were times they saw me shoot and hunt with one when my hands or wrists were giving me fits. But it just sits and all my enjoyment is still with what I too grew up with and have learned to love.

He's gonna get alot of use out of that bow. A real beauty and what a joy watching them shoot the same thing his Dad does. You can about see it in his face.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

Love the pictures. He will have you out there shooting every day.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
