Story from stxhunter:
well my and my son went hunting over the weekend i didn't see anything i wanted to shoot but i sighted in Ryan's 243 that i just got him for his 10Th birthday 2 1/2 inch's high at a 100 this is a pic of the first 4 shoots he fired this is only the second time he's shoot a rifle bigger than a 22 not bad i thought better than his uncles that claim to be good shoots anyways i decided to let him hunt by his self yesterday evening put him in the tree stand by the tank told him if i heard him shoot i would come help him so i went to my stand and worried if i should of left him on his own about 5:30 i heard a shoot but it sounded like it came from south of where he was at so i stayed in the blind about 15 minutes later i saw him coming up the sendero holding his arm needless to say i almost panicked i thought he had fallen or worse yet shot himself in the arm somehow so i ran to where he was at to see what happened turns out a doe came to the tank to drink and when he tried to shoot her he got a bad case of buck fever and forgot to get the stock snug against his shoulder and got kicked pretty hard we went to see if we could find any blood but i didn't he was shaking so bad he missed but now hes more determined to get that doe next time we go if you got time maybe you could post that pic for me still haven't figured out the picture thing yet heck i still type with one finger thanks Roger Hunter (stxhunter) [image]
