Your story is has a underlining message it is true that some folks think that bows are toys
When I was about 15 years old I got shot in the hip by a 6 year old kid who was playing around with a little 15 lb bow while I was pulling my arrows the kid pulled back about 1/2 draw and let it fly from only a few yards a way it didnt get in the meat thanks to my jeans and the fact that it was a rounded point but it hurt like hell and did bleed a little
Great story! Great
Message too. I am teaching my 4 and 2 year olds how to shoot and safety and decision making should always be at the forefront along with good ethics. I had a good friend who’s Godchild was killed on his 5th birthday by archery accident. His father had bought him a bow for his birthday and after he retrieved the arrows he fell shoving the nock end of the arrow through his eye and into his brain. Very sad. Teach the young and new to archery the proper way to shoot and handle all aspects of archery.
I told his dad about it and He still let him shoot alone outside in his own yard but still without any Adult Supervision
I got my niece and nephew into shooting bows and made them respect them the same as they would a gun and they both are very safe when shooting but that is also because i am always shooting with them they never shoot alone
