Youngester's going out w/ the bow?

[bmc]

I'm curious to see how many of us will be taking a young bow hunter out this fall. My daughter is 11 and this will be her first fall bowhunting. She got a new Darton Ranger 3 for her birthday in June and is all dialed in out to 15 yards. There's been a spike buck on the trail cam where one of her ground blinds are at, so it should be exciting next Saturday!!!

I don't know who's more excited!

Good luck this fall to all you bowhunter's out there this fall!

Brian that must have been you at the hunter safety class today. My twins were there too and were impressed by your knowledge of bows.

[bmc]

Yep that was me.

I had to laugh when I told them kids I've been shooting bow since I was 3 years old, so I've been shooting for 32 years. A few jaws dropped, too funny, guess I'm getting old??? LOL

Now that I think about it......i must have been one of my dad's 1st archery shop cutomers??? LOL

They had a good turn out, and quite a few girls in the class. Even an adult female in the class, not sure if she was w/ her son or actually taking the class though.

She is actually a friend of ours. Yes she and her son are both taking the class together and I think its great! Thanks for sharing with the kids today. Both my boys really enjoyed it!

Count me in as one who'll be getting a young miss out there starting next weekend. She just turned 16. This will be her first hunt where SHE is the shooter.

My confidence is high that if we get a clear shot at 20 yds or less, I'll be posting a pic.

BTW, bmc, 35 ain't that old yet!

Good luck to all the fathers taking out the younger future archers. You will both have the time of your life even if you do not harvest a deer.

Post some pics if you whack one doe or buck.

Just got back from taking my 7 year old son out hunting in Wisconsin it was bow opener Saturday and we had a blast didn't get anything but we did see a doe and he got pretty excited so that's all that matters. He wants to go this weekend too so I know he is hooked.

Bruce,

I'm having issues w/ my GPS module not responding on my graph, a Lowrance LMS 480. I've connected and re-connected everything I can think of and no luck. Cleaned the connections, etc. majorly frustrated!!!

Do you have much experience w/ this type of issue????

Thanks,

Brian

Antenna is cooked. 250$ Look online and theres a chance that you might be able to re-initialize the whole system. Tried it on mine this spring but it was the antenna. Good luck

If somebody on here wishes they were your age again. Then, yes, you are a youngster. Enjoy it!!

I'm taking my 7 year old out this weekend to sit with me in the 2-man stand.

He's already shooting his bow with me in the back yard and learning a lot about safety and handling. Makes me proud.

Now my 5 yr. old Daughter is asking to come up with me in the stand so she can participate. Life is good.
