    My son LOVES archery! I will have to show him the photos tomorrow. Archery is his favorite thing to do and he is very good at it. Everyone keeps telling me I should put him in our state games. I think your Dad is amazing for not giving up on what he loves to do. Thanks for sharing this with your fans.

    Well that’s fucking incredible! I love that you show a little of your family lately…gives us some insite of who you are xD

  • mom

    My favorite is the one with you and dad. Jerry is on the United States Para Olympic archery team, look for him in London in 2012. It all started with someone telling him he couldn’t do it. In our family that just makes us more determined! However, you would have to try pulling that bow with two hands, not easy, then you can appreciate it even more!
