    So.. funny title I know, but it should make sense by the end. So, I went by the pro shop around Thanksgiving with my 2 year old son and he walks up to the counter and says "I want a bow". The owner of the pro shop starts talking with him and asked him if he would like to shoot a bow. My boy lets him know there is nothing more he would like! So he pulls down a Hoyt Ruckas Jr and they go to shooting it. The owner is taken back that a 2 year old kid wants to shoot this bow and after a few shots says "he is doing this himself.. no really he is pulling this bow back on his own!" then after a few more shots he starts letting my son pull it back without him helping with the string. The owner calls some people over saying "watch this kid shoot, he is only 2 years old!" So my son has been going on and on about wanting a bow after shooting that day. So he goes to see Santa a few days ago and Santa ask my son "what do you want for Christmas?" My son tells him "I want a bow for Christmas Santa... thats all me need!" So.. I guess "Santa" will be bringing him a Hoyt bow! We went down to the pro shop tonight to put one on hold and the owner let him shoot some more. I took a few pictures and told him you know.. this kid will be on your pro staff one day! lol I just thought I would share my little bow lovers story with the rest of you.
