Bow Hunter! by homeschoolmom

Bow Hunter!

Hunter is practicing with his bow in the backyard. He really wants to go hunting with it this fall.
What a great shot, love the concentration

Wonderful action shots (this has got to be a difficult sport to learn--takes lots of practice I bet).

As your get pushed partner - how about shooting a shot using negative space - play with it and have fun.

@kwind @linnypinny @linc Thanks!
@joansmor Well, he practices inside our backyard. But we've taught him gun safety and hunting safety from the time he could walk. He's probably safer with guns and bows than most adults. In fact, just today, both my boys passed their field test (they took a course online and had to go to a class for a final test) for their hunter's safety card. In NC, that qualifies them for a full hunting license and to hunt on their own without adult supervision (although he will still hunt with dad).

That is so cool. Bet they were psyched. It's becoming a lost pastime.

@joansmor Yes, they sure were. Last year they each got a squirrel in our backyard with their air rifle and Hunter got a grouse with the youth shotgun when they were deer hunting one day. But, now they are ready to go after the big game with a bow and gun.

My older son enjoyed bow hunting while in high school. He still hunts now but not with a bow. Good for Hunter- he looks like he's got good aim too.

@olivetreeann He has pretty good aim. And he's practicing hard to get consistent.

Really great! He has a passion for archery which shines through with intensity!

I can't believe what a complex piece of equipment this is
August 18th, 2014  
Practice makes perfect they say

@juliedduncan Oh, yes, he loves this. He even saved up his money to pay for part of his bow.
@swilde That's what I thought when I saw it, too. It even has rubber pieces on it to absorb the vibrations so it's quieter.
@digitalrn He practices every day, too, shooting at least 50 arrows each time.
