ARCHERY HUNTRESS - Practice Makes Perfect

We always preach to the kids to strive for one shot, one kill. This being said, we are all working to get our draw strength to be where we need it, in order to humanely harvest an animal, not wound it without being able to retrieve it.  The other life lesson we are hoping to teach is to use every bit of the animal as possible. Our intention is not to trophy hunt, but to put organic meat in the
freezer.  If we happen to be lucky enough to shoot a beauty, I am sure part of “using” the whole animal could involve a trip to the taxidermist.  I am proud, and a little wounded to say that our ten year old son just surpassed my draw strength, so potentially he’ll be ready to hunt before me! It’s a thrill to see him get to that next level. He has such a sense of pride when Dad says, “looks like it’s time to take it up a notch Buddy!” He may get tired out a little faster, but the confidence building is unbelievable!
