Master and Mrs. Bowman! I am pleased to announce that we presented thegirl with your generous gift today. The craftsmanship of the bow, arrows, bow case and quiver are marvelous. It is obvious you both put much love and care into this project.

After a half hour with her bow, I'm convinced she will be a fine archer. Her neck, shoulders, and fingers are sore, but she is excited to keep with this new endeavor. She hit the hay bale three times at a range of fifteen yards, which ain't bad for never having shot a bow before. I've included some pictures of a very excited, and grateful girl... her form isn't bad... we'll be a'werkin' on it...

thanks osage and lsaggie... you are very special people... God bless yuh...

P.S. yuh got Freepmail...

Sigh. Rosie and I would have kidnapped thegirl at Entmoot if we'd been able to agree who got to keep her. When my sisters were that age, I wasn't old enough to appreciate them!

Evening G'nad, mrsnad & family, very glad we logged on tonight, thegirl displays fine form. We expect to see her cutting cloverleafs in no time and a "robinhood" arrow shortly thereafter. We are glad that she likes it; archery is fine hobby for all ages.
