Title: Ben+Silvertip=Big Buck
Post by: SERGIO VENNERI on December 10, 2012, 08:27:00 PM

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:

Love it when a 12 year old can hold it together on a nice buck with traditional gear...must have a pretty good mentor  :)

Oh man that's awesome.  Man after a buck like that at such a young age he's gonna have a disappointing hunting career. Lol
Great job Ben!!

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:

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.

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
