To be fair, these all appear to be target bows. Not that it really matters, but it kind of negates the hunting comments. Archery used to be a huge sport in this country, so at least it is nice to see a family that is into it. Ok, maybe a bit TOO into it, but it beats sitting around watching TV and playing video games all day. At least they’re doing it together as a family.
I love Ted! And also, my uneducated arse would have called them bows and arrows….it works right….”Takes every girl back to the time she got her bow and arrow”??? Aaaah me. We’ve got the Mensa people on here, everyone back away!
What, are you kidding? That IS Nugent without his hair extensions!
I’m guessing they are target/competition shooters with the exception of the second daughter (the one on the right), she’s the only one with a camo-painted bow. She’ll be the one that puts food on the table. She can probably take down, service and reassemble her bow inside of three minutes. She’d be a good catch for all you Nugent wannabe’s!!!!
If only all families could come together around their stock of weaponry once in a while, the world would be a better place. I wait with baited breath for the next teenage-girl, compound-bow related massacre to take place so I can see more images like this on CNN. Such family togetherness.
hahahaha… miss english major, you make me think that you are a little too uptight, reminds me of a cousin of mine who walked around with a stick up her bum. let it go, you came to this site for a reason… and that reason was to gawk. we are gawking, some people go to the park to people watch, others go online. keep moving and keep your opinions to yourself.
hahaha i was wondering the same thing myself. maybe maybe some more horrifyingly obnoxious people should comment and correct the joke a few more times then maybe all the less savvy folk will understand. im gonna be equally obnoxious and reply to every person that made a comment about the surplus of compound bow corrections.
they don’t look like Hoyts, they look like Mathews bows. I think they put out that pink one to raise money for breast cancer special. Although I can’t really make out what the middle girl is toting. But there’s something about this picture that lends credence to my suspicion of who makes their bows, I just can’t put my finger on it
either way-=-weak or strong—hunters are the reason we have deer in north america—-do you really think if it werent fopr hunters there would be any large scale effort to protect wildlife here in america–through licence and buying supplies to hunt plus pressure to the goverment (state–and federal) to set aside land for hunting and wildlife watching,,,,,,,there would be as much wildlife in america as there is? most of the land would be timbered –highrises and such—if you dont like hunters then next time you see a wild animal or bird—think again

So you show up almost 500 comments later and don’t notice that posted 400 times already?
Well, I appreciated Ivan’s comment…now I don’t have to read all the others.
I would hate to be there if that family started arguing.
I can’t help but laugh at the title of this portrait!
HAHAAAAAA!!!
The “Of holding” made me shoot Coke out of my nose.
emily, those are compound bows. not crossbows
Oh yeah, nothing strange about this photo at all. Doesn’t every family have a half dozen shots just like this framed on their walls? Who’s with me?
Nothing to see here, folks. Please move it along.
LOL
I want a rainbow not a crossbow or a compound bow….A BIG FAT JUICY RAINBOW!!!!
Radioscooter, you just made my day. Hilarious!
Seriously, even Texas doesn’t claim Ted Nugent. Poor Michigan has that dubious honor! We have normal people, like Bush and Cheney…

Angel,
Ted bought a ranch in Crawford a few years ago.
Make that big, huge, crossbow robots.
Chewbacca doesn’t have a crossbow, he has a bow-caster.
a family that kills together….
Hahahahah…
That puts this argument to rest.
you owe me a new keyboard
It would be AWESOMER if they had compound bows.
I wondered how many people were going to say that.
Oh, btw, those are compound blah blah blah blah.

Those arent crossbows, those are cheese slicers.
Those arent crossbows, those are butt flossers.
Those arent crossbows, those are banjo’s
Those arent crossbows, that’s your moms thong
LOL! Haven’t you heard? They’re guns
BOWWCASSSTTTAAH!
im just here to say i love this site but you’re a f***ing noob cause those are compound bows
hey, anybody looking to buy some old AD&D manuals from the 80’s?
Those aren’t cheese slicers, they’re scale reproductions of the statue of liberty.
Those aren’t scale reproductions of the statue of libery, they’re scale reproductions of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Those aren’t scale reproductions of the Golden Gate Bridge, they’re scale reproductions of the Great Wall.
Those aren’t scale reproductions of the Great Wall, they’re prototype dental floss dispensers!
Those aren’t prototype dental floss dispensers, they’re BowFlex mini’s.
Totally agree. They actually look pretty with it.
beautiful
Ha ha ha ha ha Prom…
Yeah oh my gosh i cant believe you mistook those for crossbows. i mean every self respecting xena loving, medieval enthusiast should know that sheesh.
yeah for real im gonna shove a compound bow up the a** of the next person that points out that those are not crossbows.

Actually if you knew anything you would know that all of those are TARGET bows not really suitable for hunting.
But then again Bow hunting is a great family activity.
What creepy aspect?
Families spending quality time together in a healthy activity.
OH THE HORROR!
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
NO! They are COMPOUND bows
I thought that hunting WAS target practice… but the targets move… and they could KILL you if they were a tiger.
Cheney’s a Wyoming native.. but close..
bush is from connecticut…but, texas can have him if they want!
Ummmmm… Yeah…. When you say “Normal” exactly what do you mean?
totally normal
No thanks.
He moved from Connecticut to Texas? That explains alot.
Banjo’s what?
I’m surprised no one wonders if these bows may be loaded. I know, I know, they LOOK unloaded but that’s how accidents happen.
those are compound bows
…They do.
really?!?! “awesomer? get a f****** dictionary!!!!
“keep your opinions to yourself” interesting comment on a blog that thrives on user comments… sorry, bud, you can’t have it both ways.
lols.
At last! A comment from a fellow Star Wars geek!
May the Force Be With You!!!
(And eventually, a woman)
(Just kidding)
Is it a Matthews?
No, they’re not loaded. The arrow would be clearly visible if these were loaded. On a compound bow, both hands have to be in use for it to be loaded.
They’re not BowFlex mini’s, they’re regulation-sized harps for cabbage patch dolls!

This was supposed to be a reply off of Xtina’s post from May 15th. Not sure why, but it put it between an August post & a September post.
