Building another Bowhunter part 2
 

After buying my Niece a Bow at the LSBA convention we went to work learning to shoot it and building the strength to shoot 40 pounds. after about a month of shooting everyday she was very consistent out to 30 yards. A week ago she told me she wanted to try to take an animal. We set up a hunt with one of our LSBA Sponsor members Hunt's Bowhunting. We spent hours looking at pictures and talking about shot placements and timing. I have the full story written up and hope to get it in the magazine but the condensed version is she preformed like a champ and made a beautiful shot at 20 yards. I'm not sure which one of us was the happiest but I was beside my self. I guess she is probably to old to call a kid but she will always be 10 to me.

That is a great pic of Whitney and her sheep. I am glad you got her to take her glasses off for at least one pic. You should include that one on the next rolling pic display.

nice ram buff tell whitney congrats.

S-W-E-E-T!!!

Congrats on a beautiful Painted, Whitney! Kudos to you Buff for encouraging her to get involved in bowhunting!

Congrats to the both of you. I am interested in how her bow performed.Please post the results,penetration....Etc.

Yeah, what Bryan said. I need a bow for my boy. He just doesn't seem interested in taking the trad route.

Just an outstanding prize for her hard work. Congrats to the NEW bowhunter and a happy uncle. ;)

the bow is a Evotek single cam. She was shooting full lenght beman junior shafts fletched with Quick spin vanes and 125 grain 4 blade stinger. it penatrated to the fletch with broad head sticking out 7 or 8 inchs.

Buff, I figured that set up you described would work. I have seen lighter setups work as long as the arrows are flying good and they stay within a reasonable distance. Congrats again and keep up the good work recruiting more bowhunters.

Thanks Buff, I may have to let him give it a try this summer. See how it works out. ;)

Congrats on #1 of many, Whitney!
