    My dad has been a rifle hunter his whole life. But over the past couple years I've been trying to get him into archery. This year he really started hunting a good amout with my backup bow. Yesterday eve he called me from the stand and said he arrowed a nice one. It's the 1st time he ever took a shot at a deer with a bow, and he was pretty excited.

    The buck went about 100 yards before crashing in the field. I grossed him at 149 0/8 with about 4" of kickers. I think he's hooked now!!
