Hopefully this is ok here.  My 14 year old son picked up a stickbow for the first time 2 months ago and was hooked.  Since then he's watched video after video of shooting, form, and hunting.  There's no telling how many arrows he's shot.  Well yesterday, he took his first archery animal and it's the first traditional turkey taken by anyone in our house.  He wanted to hunt with traditional gear and no blind.  I wasn't sure if we could do it but we made it happen.  His bow is a 54" Timberhawk Strike, 46# @ 28".  Arrows are GT traditionals 600 spine with 145 grain woodsmans up front.  Here's a link to the video.

He missed a longbeard last weekend due to a rushed shot but he was so close.  I think we're getting the hang of it.  That video link is here too:

We are brand new to filming and youtube so please be gentle.  We were both extremely happy with both hunts.  Hope you guys enjoy and appreciate the work he's put in over the last two months and his abilities as a hunter at such a young age.

Awesome job guys! I would say your both doing fine in the hunting and video department.

How long was that shot? I am about 2 weeks in my traditional archery journey and that shot looked far! Great job keeping calm with that many eyeballs on you!

Congratulations to the both of you! Subbed!

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

One of the best youtube video hunts I've ever seen.  I love the hunt focus and the young man's excitement.

I just sent the link to my nearly 14-year old grandson. He hasn't bowhunted turkey yet, this might get him fired up.

The shot was 16-17 yards.  He had his max range in mind of 20 yards.  We had the decoy set up at 13 yards to try and keep them close.  Good luck to you man!
