Yeah folks ! Ben Windauer scored Big on an Eastern Montana buck. Dave and Beth although very proud of their 12 year old son's accomplishments are just too modest .
Ben arrowed this nice whitetail while on a family hunt (uncles & cousins ) . He used a 58" 44# @26" Silvertip, with Zwickey Eskimo's mounted on 28" 2016 arrow's. I see a great hunting future for him.Congrats Ben! :thumbsup: (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/BenWindauer.jpg) (http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x132/recurvehunter_2007/579755_3963102470895_114364376_n.jpg) :archer:

I'm sure Mom and Dad are proud (and Paul S. would be too!)
Wow! Congrats Ben!!!! :notworthy:
Great job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clapper:
:p :thumbsup:
Ben, That is really awsome. I think that might be a world record for a 12 year old with a stick bow. I have been searching my memory and just have to say that you are really a blessed young man. And to think, you have a Silvertip at such a young age.(Grin)
God bless you all and have a wonderful Christmas. Steve :wavey: :thumbsup: :clapper:
Outstanding! Love to see kids have success.
AMAZING!!!!!
Great job young man!!!
Great job Ben..Congrats to You,Mom and Dad....
Way to go Ben, you'll remember that moment forever!
-Jay
Outstanding! Better that anything I've shot! Well, at least bigger
Keep being as modest as your parents Ben, they are wonderful people, there is not a person on here that has anything negative too say about them. Your dad has taken the Silvertip bow name to a level of craftsmanship that Paul could not, his work great. Nice shooting on that buck,from the picture your dad looks very proud,and he should be.
Amen to that longrifle! :notworthy:
Fantastic Ben! Good to see you taking a spectacular buck with a Dad-Made Bow :D Congrats to you and your Family, and Merry Christmas!
Thank you all so much for the nice comments. It was an awesome experience for both of us, I'm sure most of you have been there.
I think he is finally realizing now how fortunate he is. He's excited to get the shoulder mount done soon.
I'm sure it was an awesome experience in some way for Beth too. Forgot to sign my name to the last thread.
Dave
Too cool! I wish my dad could make a bow as nice as a Silvertip... ;) I imagine this young man will end up with a pretty amazing number of trophies.
Excellent! Congratulations!
You did good young man and keep up the good work. The light color in your buck is spectacular and should make a beautiful mount. We'll just have to get your pic at the top of the page!
That's a beauty, congrats young man and many more to come. :thumbsup:
Congrats Ben!!! I see many many more :campfire:
Awsome job! Great pictures, too!
Dave,
Congratulations on raising a fine young man with a love of traditional bowhunting....and the patience and skills to pull it off. One day I hope he realizes how extremely lucky he is to have someone with your passion as his father...and having a supply of bows to shoot that are highly respected is a bonus as well.
Take it from someone that had no bowhunters or even muzzleloaders in his family for three generations....having a mentor that is also your father is priceless.
Cherish the moment and the future...
keep em sharp,
ron herman
Nice job Ben! Congrats!!!!!
