Title: First Trad Javelina
Post by: USAFdad on January 14, 2013, 01:52:00 PM
Built a couple of TD bows for my sons for Christmas and my oldest put his to use 5 days later.
After 4 days and about 25 miles of hard hiking and glassing he made a great shot on this pig. We checked afterward and it was 30 yards on about a 30 degree downhill. I was standing below and behind him about 30 yards on the opposite side of the hill as the pigs. I watched him take the shot and heard the pig grunt, it was awesome!

You must be proud of your son and the bow.  Javies are so stinkin' (literally) cool.  I got my first one last year.  They are made to bowhunt.

Thanks to all, it's a toss up as to who was more excited. He's the USAF part of USAFdad, damn proud dad.
I agree medic77 javelina must have been made for bow hunting.
