I'm really excited for Archer about his newfound interest in archery. I'm really ready to get him his own bow. Recurve or compound?, I keep asking him. He says recurve. I want to get him a compound. But we're not ready to take the plunge yet.
So the other day I came up with a compromise. We'll make our own bows, something safer than the full sized weapon that can only be shot at a range. We'll make a version safe for home, like it only shoots something soft. And not too fast, so we don't shoot someone's eye out.
Solution: Popsicle sticks and Q-tips
It turns out they're really hard to shoot, don't go very far, and the arrows got pulled apart by the youngest archer in the family.
So, the bows and arrows didn't last long but it was a fun diversion for a rainy afternoon.
