You guys made that look downright easy!

I have found that I look forward to the encounters my kids have MORE than the ones I get!

Congrats to you both...GREAT shooting Cade! All of us on TradGang are proud of you...We all know how much dedication goes into that kind of shooting skill!

Walking the walk!  

Thanks so much everyone!

My time in the field with my boy is very, very special time for me.....I'm glad you enjoy what we share with you'all.....

What a shot huh?!  This is only the second time we've hunted this set, once last year, and this time....both sits produced deer for Cade. Funny part is I sit lower than him and I never saw either arrow strike home!

But when this one hit, from all my years experience, I knew it was good.....and Cade's instantly blurting out "perfect shot Daddy" only served to reinforce what I heard.

But how absolute perfect he hit it we didn't know till we walked up on it.

If you were gonna walk up to a 3d target and show someone where to place an arrow and put your finger on the target.....it would be exactly where Cade hit this one!!

As far as the video......I really had no idea what I had captured. I kinda remember following the deer as it walked out of the woods......but I was also very aware of the fact that I needed to watch the deer in case it wasn't going to stop. I didn't want Cade to shoot at a walking deer...

I could go on and on about everything....how about some pictures.....

Think we're happy????

As far as Cade's equipment....

He's shooting my Jack Kempf Raven 3pc., at his 24"draw, it's about 45#.

His arrows are Trad Only .600's, cut to 26", and it was tipped with a 2 blade, 250 grain, VPA Penetrator broadhead.

As you could see in the video of Cade pulling his arrow out of the ground, it hardly slowed down when it passed through the deer.

Upon later examination, we found the arrow cut a rib almost in half on the way in, centered both lungs, also cut some of the plumbing off the heart.....and centered a rib on the way out cutting a perfectly vertical slice right through the center of it, leaving it in tact(had it hit horizontal, it would have cut it right in half)....good stuff!!

Awesome Guys!!!
Nice shot Cade!!!
Time for some Hawaii hunting!!!

Thumbs up to you both. What shot placement... awesome. If more Dads spent time with their kids such as this, our nation would be such a better place . So many life lessons taught and meanings brought to those lessons in the woods... Props to you Curt !!!
