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.
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.
