my 13 y.o. has gotten the huntn bug. first gun last yr, now bow. It was funny to watch him shoot a real bow, compared the ones at his scout camp. those have to be the most lame bows I've ever seen. when he shot his first arrow he asked what happened. I asked him what do you mean, you just fired the bow. His reply, but I didn't see the arrow going up & down thru the air!:d I forgot how bad those things shot. It sure is a quiet bow. He's gonna squirrel away his money so he can get it later this yr. maybe just get him into this obsession & turn him in to one of us!
