My son Tanner turned 12 in march which means here in montana he can buy his 1st hunting license.
Tanner was pretty excited about the hole getting to hunt deal but I bet dad had him beat.
I also told him he could miss a week of school (as long as his work was made up)to go hunting with the old man so I think that had some influence also.
Tanner has been shooting a Rocky Mtn Recurve that I bought here on tradgang classifieds (from JD Jones) I believe it is 53" and 55#@28" and he pull 24 1/2.
I had planned on making another set of lighter limbs but old Tanner Man insisted he could shoot with the 55# limbs and I'll be darned he was by Aug and I might add that he was shooting the light out of stuff.
Tanner has spent a fair amount of time hunting with me in the past but even so I was pretty surprise how calm, cool and calective he was when he was covered-up with deer. The kid’s insticts are way beyond where I was at that age.
It took a few stands before a buck would give him a shoot he felt he should take but in time he did.
One arrow shot at 15yrds and 60yrd blood trail with this at the end:
a couple days later him and I make meat for a double.
