Bowing

What? You didn't know that "Bowing" was a sport? Well, when you take your guns to the gun range, you go shooting...so Brody says that when you take your bow and arrows out to practice...you go "bowing"!

Saturday Mike took Brody "bowing" at Big Carl's house. Mike and "Uncle" Carl wanted to try out their new bows and Brody wanted to practice with the bow and arrows that "Daddy" Carl gave him. I begged Mike to take the camera and take a few pictures. He wouldn't make any promises, but said that he'd try to get a picture or two. There weren't any of the big guys shooting their bows, but there were lots of little Brody! It looks like everyone took turns showing him how to shoot.

"Uncle" Carl (he's not technically an uncle...he's Caleb's brother-in-law...but he's the only "uncle" that Brody actually calls "uncle"...kinda funny!) helping Brody pull back.

"Daddy" Carl (he's "Uncle" Carl's daddy who's also named Carl) letting Brody help him shoot his long bow (I think that's what this kind of bow is called?)

Oops! Looks like they missed the deer. Brody retrieves the arrow out of the haystack.

Mike's turn to help the little guy shoot his bow.

Gottem right in the sweet spot! Good job Brody!
While Mike and Carl practiced with their bows, Brody tagged along with Big Carl. They mowed, played in the dirt, and who knows what else. They all had fun...and Brody took a great nap when he got home! After he woke up he told Mike that next time he wanted to go hunting for a bear!

The arrows always ended up somewhere behind or beside me when I used to go "bowing". Looks like Brody's got much better aim!

Way to go, Brody! Great pictures!!

Hey is that a Brody sized target or is that all the bigger deer get in texas? Cause you're gonna have to adjust your aim in any other state.
