The problem isn't the kid or the fact that he's learning to shoot a bow and arrow but that he has no one to guide him correctly. Notice I said toy- that is what he sees that bow as and it's no surprise at all by his father's comment saying it was a toy too. The problem is he is an excitable kid who's brain isn't focused on safety but how soon he can play with his new toy. I get the kids position, I wanted a bow and arrow at his age too. He obviously has little to no control over his kid or doesn't care at all about him. So I have a good amount of experience on this subject. Both my neighbors have multiple children so I took great care in planning how to do my shooting safely. Real crossbow target with proper target holder using the 4 foot elevated ground my porch sits on as a backstop for the possibility of a rogue bolt with my home as the ultimate backstop. I shoot a 170 pound crossbow in my backyard(.44 acre lot) from 30 yards every now and then.
