Proud of my boy!!!!

[J. Cook]

My son, Mason, got it done with a recurve on Thanksgiving morning!  He's killed a handful of deer with his rifle and his compound over the years.  This past spring he said, "I want to go all-in with a recurve."  So we set up a Browning Folding Hunter that was gifted to us, 45@28.  Built some autumn orange 2016's and he asked me to make them red, white, and blue.  They were perfect with 150 grain Ace Standard heads.

He's a 3 sport athlete and travels a lot so time in the woods is limited for him.  But on Thanksgiving morning I get a call - he says, "I just shot a b-b-b-buck!"  All of you know the excited adrenalin-riddled stutter i speak of!!!!  Blood trail was excellent and he saw it crash from his stand.

I've killed a pile of deer in my life, but don't remember any I was more proud of than this one.  My avatar pic is of him his first day hunting with me, carrying his Black Rhino bow with me when he was 5 or 6.

Fantastic and congratulations to both of you. It's so nice to see kids using trad equipment. I'm taking my son hunting for the 1st time this afternoon. I can't wait for the day I get to experience something like this myself.
