Louise's first goTook my daughter down the wood for the first time today and allthough with a terrible bow that is now far too small for her she hit 11 of the 25 targets (3 arrows per target) and managed 2 kills  .
Will be taking her down to Merlin for her first proper bow in the easter holidays, nice little 20lb recurve me thinks 
Here she is showing good form and pleased as punch after hitting one of my arrows

Brill,
Sophie had her first go with that 5 pin sight yesterday and hit more than usual even though it is nowhere near properly set upp.

 I can see she gets her looks from her mother 
You tell her that strange Aussie guy said well done and make sure she has more fun

Well I think she's hooked, she's been pestering me since for a proper bow, she can't wait a week untill the school holidays, she wants a new bow before the weekend
Took her to Decathlon yesterday to get the two most important pieces of equipment for british field archery................boots and gaitors

Well after the success of her first 'field' trip I took Louise down to Merlin to get kitted out with her first 'proper' bow here's a few shots of her trying out when we got back home.
And her younger brother getting in on the act, think we need to fine tune his form a bit
And she's even got her first message from Robin

At least she hasn't tossed one into the barn's stalls like I did once in my youth. I don't know about that boy of yours, appears he's reliving a past life with that bow. Saw duty at Falkirk, perhaps?

He's intent on overdrawing at the minute, think he could be destined for a monster poundage longbow

Good to see them enjoying it Liam
Hopefully we will see them at the wood soon

I have a diagram in a kyudo text somewhere that looks the image of your lad in the photo! My son is champing at the bit to start - beginners course in May... He's the same age I was when I started I feel old now
