Another evening on the range with my shooting coach/buddy! . . . . At this rate I don't think he's gonna have a choice but to like archery. With me during my daily reps, with me when I'm building arrows/tuning my bow, and watches the hunting channel with me. Hope he's a better shot than daddy ever could be. @psebows . . . #archery #passthetorch #manman #cj #buddy #huntingpartner #backpack #carrier #myson #myseed #teachemyoung
