Good luck!
Keep the ranges short and he will be just fine
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Good luck this season. He's growing like a weed! Just got his learner's permit monday. Y'all might want to stay off the sidewalk if you live close for a bit.

Wish I was still around there, see a few small changes that could help him.
Your setup looks about like it was the last time I saw you with it. Look at your hand location on anchor point knuckle at ear lobe, Sons near the top of ear which brings his shoulder higher like mentioned above.
Sights will need adjustment but peep moved up the string, lower te hand to better anchor point and do enough to
get head mort vertical not tilted left.
Grip too much heel of hand on grip, turn the bowhand to get the thumb pad carrying the weight. Draw length might need a little more length.
Look where your arrow is in relation to the mouth 9below your bottom lip) and your head is upright. His head is tilted to the right and arrow is above his lips.
Just what I see looking for a minute or so. Kid has grown since I last saw you all. Been some years since then though.
