Default She might be a future world champion
My granddaughter has been after me for a solid year to teach her to shoot a bow. I thought it best to wait until she matured a little and could understand the instruction.

This weekend she turned seven and got her wish; a brand new Mathews Mini Genesis complete with quiver and arrows. Sunday afternoon after grandma took her shopping for a Hanna Montana bear and a few other girl things, grandpa got his turn. She sat and listened intently while I explained how to handle a bow safely and then showed her how to address the target line. We then worked on how to hold the bow and how to draw and aim. Then we worked on a relaxed release with her fingers before we went to the garage/range for the event…

I have to tell y’all she is a natural. She shot a dozen shots before she got tired and not once did the arrow fall off the springy and she never missed the bale.

One proud grandpa...

I hope she continues to pursue the sport and I can teach her the little I know about archery and hunting…

Very Cute! I hope she loves it as much as I do! I started at the same age in the back yard with a red bear recurve. Now I'm 32 and my day is consumed with archery thoughts!

Great job getting her started JAVI. She will likely be a new world champion if she pays attention to her instructor. What a cutie!

Looks like a smaller Genesis bow, whihc has no specific draw length.
My kids used the "House Bow's" at the range a bit.
