Great pictures! I wanted to go this year but life just gets in the way sometimes and I couldn't make it. It's good to see some pictures from there. Looks like your boy had a good time. More kids need to be doing stuff like that.

Thanks! Well there's always the fall shoot. Yea he really enjoys it and there were a lot more kids there this year. Folks were saying there were more younger people there than they'd seen in a very long time.

In that photo of you and your son in the tent, he's your spittin' image!
Except he has a little more hair.
Thanks for posting the photos.
That's how we keep our ranks full - getting our kids involved.

It was a great weekend! I wish I could’ve stayed longer! It was great meeting your son and you Hatchet Jack! Thank you for letting me shoot your Fowler! It’s such a beautiful Fowler!! It was only a 25 yard shot so I don’t feel like I can brag too much

Great meeting you and your boys! I'm glad ya'll had a good time. The woods walk was great! A bullseye using a Smoothie at 25 yards is within bragging rights LOL!
