Saturday I took my girlfriend to a local archery range after she has been pestering me for the last week to teach her how to shoot a bow. I always take new shooters to a range if it is their first experance shooting either a bow or a gun. I do this because there are fewer distractions. I thought she would show only minor interest after a dozen arrows threw the bow like she did when I took her to shoot my .22 but instead we spend over three hours at the range. She has continued to show a lot of interest and I took her again to the range this afternoon and we had a great time. For as little shooting as has done her groupings at 10, 20, and 30 yards are great. I have only introduce two other shooters to archery. Everytime I have taken some one out and put a bow in their hands for the first time has always been a lot of fun and very rewarding. I suggest if you have a you have a lighter poundage compound or youth bow laying around take your wife, girlfriend, kids, nefews, nieces, and friends shooting. Jess is shooting a 40 pound Hoyt Mystic Rebel that was made around 1995 so the bow doesn't have to be anything fancy.
Pass on the passion you have for the sport and and start some one else shooting soon.
