I've been watching this one.

Congrats MR. Cade. Well done little big man.  Don't know who was more stoked....you or your dad. And congrats to your dad as well.  That's Big Time right there for BOTH of you.

I got the story over the phone from him...and maybe one day next week you can tell me your version over the phone.  I'd like that.

Glad the Zwickey worked out for ya.     ;)    Now you have an official big game arrow to retire.

I know you are going again this weekend, and so am I....I'll be pulling for ya as always.

Curt glad you kept the tears back because I sure didn't reading the story. Seems like just yesterday Cade was so small at his first bunny hunt. I'm at our deer camp with my father right now this is our 33rd year together bowhunting in deer camp. I can't imagine what my life would be like if my father hadn't taken me hunting. To many long years and memories .................

That is fantastic!  The other night, on the way to hunt with my girls, I recapped my first deer taken with my Dad.  Those are memories that I will never let go of.  Great job fellas!  Cade, way to go brother.

Wow, great story and Cade.....congratulations young man, we're very happy for you. It's been amazing watching you 'grow up' here and we know how proud your father is of you and your accomplishment. You will both remember and cherish this moment for the rest of your lives. I still rember the first deer I shot-a similar sized doe-thirty four years ago like it was yesterday. I still have that longbow and arrow hanging in my rack.  Congratulations again young man!!!!  :thumbsup:    :clapper:  

Well done to you to Curt!!!

Absolutely outstanding story with wonderful pictures!  Congratulations to both of you for your awesome adventures!  Cade, you'll remember this hunt your whole life!  I think that picture with both of you and the deer should be enlarged and soon hanging on your wall!     :clapper:

Thank you all so, so much for the kind words!

 It does my heart good to hear that we are inspiring other dads with young kids to get them as involved as possible in our wonderful sport....there is no greater reward...no doubt about it!


I've been fielding a bunch of questions about Cade's equipment....

He's shoot a Leon Stewart 48" Lil' Slammer longbow that's about 37-38# at his 22" draw.

His arrows are .800 spine CX Predator II's.  With the insert, 125 steel adapter, and 110 grain
n Zwickey Eskilite they weigh about 480grs if I remember correctly.

This deer he hit in the ribs and got both lungs, liver, and the arrow went almost all the way though at impact.  As it fled it pulled all the way thru....so it was about a complete pass thru at impact....
•  
•  
•  

While we were prepping for this season I had no doubts, that even at his short draw, his set-up would do the job with good shot selection.

So far. so good!

Thanx again    :notworthy:
