Next time Cade! You got the first shot jitters out now so it's time to bear down buddy! Good luck!

WOW!!! Keep at it guys. What an exciting thread!!! Thanks for sharing!!

Way to go little man, don't ever give up.

I have emptied my quiver before also Cade don't feel bad.Go get them.

I wish I would have had a single shot to miss this morning! Keep after 'em, and soon your guide will be gutting and dragging your deer Cade :-)

Hang in there! The ones you miss are the ones you dont have to clean!      Thats what I tell myself.

Cade buddy you got this. I have missed more than most Go get them.

Get a GFA quiver or something on that order as a back up... and take more arrows!!!!!!      

Congrats on a GREAT hunt.  I've always thought a clean miss was the SECOND best of all possible outcomes when I shot an arrow at an animal.

I'm betting that on a hunt very soon, you are going to experience the BEST of all possible outcomes, and I am looking forward to the pics!

The spring after I came in 3rd at the ibo in recurve, I proceeded to shoot over 7 turkeys from a blind. Got them all on video. I got it done finally but I flat suck shooting out of a blind. Cade, you WILL GET IT DONE.  that I have no doubt. great thread. DB

It all about the journy my friend! this is awesome!

   

Good Luck Cade. We all get excited, its why we do this  

Cade, I built a picket fence around a young deer years ago, I had a 6 arrow quiver and shot 5 time at the same deer. Shot from 5, 7, 10, 13, 18 yards       and finally said I will not shoot the last arrow.  Thought it must be the lords will for that deer to live  

WOW talk about action. Man Curt i would have been on my back in the blind clutching my chest. Way to go guys

Thanx so much guys...

I'm telling you, my words used to describe this hunt from yesterday morning fall far short of the emotion we shared yesterday!

Excitement, laughter, and some heartbreak!

You should have seen his nocked arrow shaking while he waited for the doe to give him a shot!!

To quote Cade while we were in the blind..."Daddy, this is so, so much better than any 'game' I've ever played...thank you so much for bringing me along.....I love you!"

As a father, it doesn't get any better than that...

Hey Cade...don't sweat it, I missed 11shots before I killed my first deer when I was a kid.  And that was with a compound!!!!  I hope that buck makes a mistake and walks by you again!  Go get them Buddy!!!!

Curt...keep us posted, I think all of Trad Gang is watching this one.

No it doesnt Curt.Nothing better than teaching your son how to hunt.

Oop...double post

Yikes...triple post
