Good way for a 10 year old to start-I could not be prouder. Just to the rear on the left shoulder and through the center of the right. Sorry, I can't seem to get these to rotate... And I got to break in my new Ingram... Golden............

The one thing that I don't like about the antler restrictions we are under is shown in the picture. Here that would not have been a legal deer and the law would have robbed that young man of his first buck deer. I do favor antler restrictions for us as I see the results but the restrictions do rob a lot of kids of shots on 18 mo deer. Quando Omni Moritati

There are few things in this world that compare with getting to be with a kid when they get their first buck. You know they will never forget that day.

It is nice to "go back in time" with someone to a place where shooting a deer was good, period. Antler restrictions make zero sense to a young hunter. We need to have the youngsters in our ranks, I can see no harm in shooting some younger deer in the process. Hopefully there will be plenty of time to worry about "is he old enough? Those antlers 15" on the inside? Are we sure there are five points on one side?" Golden............

This isn't the one I got from you (a friend has it and it is a shooter also), this one has been around from the time that a used model 7 could be had for under $400.00 Golden............
