BarryinIN Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Our youngest daughter got bit by the archery big when she saw "Brave" almost three years ago. Happily, and somewhat surprisingly, it stuck. She shot in the 4-H Shooting Sports program last year (and got coaching she would actually listen to) and did ok. She now wears shirts with sayings like "I Don't Wear Bows, I Shoot Them". I am proud. My wife is tired of tripping over archery stuff. The side effect of this is my being drawn back into archery. Until this, the last bow I bought was for my birthday in 1978. I've gotten lucky at a few garage sales and managed to pick up some bows; mostly recurves I lusted after decades ago. Only one cost more than $25.Today, out of winter boredom, I dragged our bows out for a lineup picture. L to R:Kid bows first- Two Bear kiddie bows she stated on, a Goblin and a Scout. Then her Matthews Genesis, which she used the latter part of 4-H last year. Then her birthday and Christmas bows: a Greattree Firefox takedown recurve, and a Sky Archery Hurricane longbow. Mine- Bear Kodiak Magnum, Bear Tigercat, Ben Pearson Cougar, Ben Pearson Javelina, and off to the right, a Bear Realtree Monster Bucks compound. I like shooting the $10 Javelina best.

Astro14 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Are you certain that she wasn't inspired by Katness Everdeen from " The Hunger Games"?My youngest picked up a bow about the same time...But she also enjoys shooting a Glock 19 and an AR-15.

BarryinIN Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 She saw Brave first. But, for her birthday, we took her older sister and several friends (and her) to the second Hunger Games movie, and that probably helped seal things up.
