Well, we got the bow yesterday, assembled and sighted it in. Here's a few pics of him shooting it and his first 3 shots at 30 from a rest. Danny threw a few freebies in w/ the bow, including a hat.

I explained all he had coming was a bare bow as I have plenty of accessories. He asked if "we should call Mr. Miller, so I can say thanks". I told him that sounded like a fine idea, so we did.

Danny informed me one of you fine folks sent a check toward this purchase and he didn't get it until the bow was shipped, so he's sending me the check.

I have no idea who did this, but thank you. What I've decided to do w/ it and the trinkets included w/ bow, sans hat which would be a battle, lol is donate it and the extra stuff to the thing we got going that MikeP is heading up for kids. That's still kinda on the drawing board but will come alive sooner or later.

So, Mr./Ms. Anonymous, thanks again, I hope you don't mind me redirecting things a tad to someone who maybe needs it more than we do.
The folks on here constantly amaze me, I'm reminded of my Y-25 fiasco and the help I got there. Surely, it's some kids turn now.

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing him progress.. Heck of a bow to start out with..
If Chris listens to half of what you teach him he will will know twice as much as most people, keep the pictures coming Dan!

He looks like a natural to me. Keep up the good work Chris, and practice, practice and practice some more.
