You can disagree with her, I can disagree with her, every member of this forum can disagree with her, but it doesn’t matter. She is his mother and she is raising him the best she can. I mean I strongly disagree with her and disagree that young children should be sheltered from large concepts like life and death. I know my own kids had an understanding of death at a very young age. But then again I don’t have to put him to bed at night.
Don't buy a small bow for William. Buy one for YOU. For your home. And if it happens to be laying out and visible when William comes over, then perhaps he shows an interest in target shooting. No 3D animals if it bothers your daughter. I would use a cube, or better yet, I used a hot tub lid. And put balloons on it for the fun. As you know, our boys started young. Like training a dog, in our youth, is the best time to create good habits. Shooting habits that is.
Stay with it. Ultimately youth is short, and we get to make our own decisions.
Timing is perfect to correct your daughter's attitude. Buy the grandson a snare drum and cymbals for Christmas. Trust me, by Spring time she will be begging you to turn those into archery targets.

Re: Very disappointed...
Well it may be disappointing or upsetting for you Bill reality is it’s her child and you have to respect her wishes, rightly or wrongly.
now if my Dad wanted to take the kids shooting, hunting or camping cause at that age that’s all it is is camping I would be all over it as my brother and I had our four kids out many times while still in diapers,
I wouldn’t lose to much sleep over it Bill and have some patience as your grandson will be all over it in no time.

She turned 15 this past summer and started her first job a month ago. She called me last week and wanted to buy a new longbow out of her first paycheck. How awesome is that!!!
