moog5050 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 My 7yr old daughter has been shooting a kids long bow for a while but not consistently. Tonight, I explained gapping in simple terms, just put the arrow point below the deers front arm pit and shoot. She proceeded to make kill shot after kill shot at 10yds. I was pretty shocked but stoked at the same time. We have a future hunter in the making. Wish I knew how to post video. It was cool. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Enjoy my friend . In two days I move our oldest to NYC, she'll be working at NY Presbyterian while her BF finishes Med school . Seems like yesterday I was pushing her on the tire swing .... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL You'll have a hunting partner before ya know it! Last Saturday, I took my daughter to camp practice with her crossbow. I just stood back and smiled watching her. Later that night, she was crowned homecoming queen! They can be daddy's girl, hunters, AND "girly-girls"! LOL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 There are moments when your kids do something, that warms your heart. And you just know, you will never forget that moment. And if you are lucky, you will have many such moments. You, my friend, are a lucky man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 The best was after many kill shots, she asks "so how am I doing?" Uh, pretty darn good! Lol. Then she just skips away to play with the cat. No biggie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
