My 11 y/o son Brooks has been shooting a recurve and compound for 4-years, this year I felt like he was pulling enough with his compound to hunt a small pig. Long story short, he has far exceeded that this year. Of course y’all know which one means the most but I thought I’d share the others too, he’s had a banner year!!!!
Bear Kodiak Cub Recurve 30lbs @ 24, he’s drawing 22” with 26” GT Lightning 30lb youth arrows with a 2 blade 125grn Magnus Stingers up front.
He made a 12 yard broadside shot on this 80lb boar and smoked him!! Arrow penetrated 2/3 of the way, tracked him 40 yards DRT. 10 mins later a 30lb shoat came in and he double lunged him with a pass thru! Somehow in all the craziness of the hunt we forgot to take a picture with it!
He also shot his first deer/buck with his Compound. The same trip he stalked a pig on his own with his compound and made a
perfect 15 yard shot. This trip, he hunted by himself in a tripod and made a great 16yds shot on a 6pt. He shot the hog with his recurve last night and tonight he shot a another pig by himself with his compound at 13 yrds with a 30yrd recovery!! Like I said the kid is having an unbelievable year!! He has zero interest in hunting with his rifle, I’ve created a bow hunting monster!!!
