[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2902164, member: 118823"] I have to admit I am a very proud dad. Coached football for 18 years, and did my best to coach LIFE as much as football. Now I am just "coaching" my boys, 12 and 14 yrs old, in archery and still teaching math. In the video below at about the 3:28 mark I can tell Tackett is about to get choked up describing what happened. For parents who have watched their kids achieve things they thought weren't possible you will understand how emotional moments like this can be. We all had tears flowing when the dust settled. Tackett and Wyatt had just gained a crowd of fans that were rooting for the 2 kids shooting among the men. They both made it 70 yards and had Wyatt remembered to cut 1.5 yards off his sight tape due to new arrows he would have made it to 80.(he just clipped steel at top of foam insert) Tackett made it in at 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100....no busted arrow.(if you hit the steel you are out) Funny how some very small things can completely change your course in life. About 16 months ago Tackett bought this used Mathews Vertix off of facebook. We met the guy at a Quicktrip. He also had a slider sight which was an HHA Optimizer. I figured it was a "gimicky" sight but Tackett wanted to buy it too, so I said it's your money. A few days later we were standing in a bean stubble field making marks on a blank white sight tape. Tackett walked it back from 20 to 90 yards on a small block target. That's when I knew I had to try to get these boys into some 3D shooting. Long story short a used HHA Optimizer opened my eyes to a gift Tackett and Wyatt have. Had we just kept shooting 20-40 pin sights, and not bought the HHA slider,(we all three have HHA Tetra's now) I would have never known how Tackett(and Wyatt) could hold tight groups out to 90 yards. Pay it forward and take some kids to an R100. Very laid back fun shoot. Probably the only elephant, giraffe, rhino, and cape buffalo most of us will ever shoot. I am a blessed man. Enjoy.
