Boy, tough choice! LOL Enjoy

Praying earnestly that God weighs heavy in her heart. That she not only makes the right decision but turns to Him wholly.

Don't forget to put him on the "Excluded" list for your team draft!!! LOL! 100 years ago (likely less), it wouldn't have made a difference if a guy was caught dog fighting. Different world today. I've only heard a couple reports but they've said there were culling to dogs in such was as blunt trauma (throwing them to the ground and clubbing), dousing at least one in water then electricuting it, and shooting them. This is above and beyond.

Cool - I need to get out and try it. Season openned 3 days ago here.

Everyone here has been very helpful so far - THANK YOU! However, the more I read the more I see numbers, terms, and suggestions that are over my head. Any books or such that you can recommend that might help bring me up to speed?

Gator - I've got to admit I haven't the slightest what the number represent (except the grains) but they sound like goodin's. Congrats!

Toad puree - shouldn't this thread be down in the Chuckwagon?! 1 - Large Toad 2 - bushel grass clippings 1 - gas powered 3hp overhead blender Blend until smooth and serve.

15 yard photo... Thanks for the tips hutchies... Here's a photo of my groups at 15 yards. The centered group was shot with my nose on the string and the kisser button in the corner of my mouth almost on my cheek. The left group resulted after taking my nose off the string but having the button in the same spot. The two arrows on top of the target are from misses when one, I used the wrong pin on my sight and the second was a near miss off the left side of the target. Its goingt to take some work but I'll get there.

I shot my new bow for the first time yesterday. Just in case - its a 2003 Pearson Diamondback I bought used. Sorry to say it didn't go as planned. Turns out it was set WAY to heavy for me. I couldn't draw it after only 6 arrows. Pretty embarrassing and frustrating. The good thing that came out of it was my we were shooting a friend of my brothers range and he is semi-pro, shoots in competitions regularly. He drew it back and commented on how heavy it was set and said it was really aggressive. Made me feel a lot better. Today I read up on how to dial the draw weight back. It certainly wasn't the process I thought it might have been. So, I gave it 4 full turns (each limb) and its right where I need it. Still takes some effort to pull it back but I shot 4 or 5 rounds of ten arrows before I needed a rest. Didn't do to bad either. I moved back to 15 yards and still kept some "ok" groups. I'm liking it so far!

Unforntunately for me its usually my .30-Ford, at about 66 fps (abt 45 mph?), crumpled bumper and 4-45 air conditioning - 4 windows down at 45 mph! LOL

Fantastic work!

Very cool set up! Those look great!

Congrats!! I'm "new" so bear with me if this sounds like a stupid question - wouldn't you have to worry about the bright string possibly spooking the deer/turkey/etc?

I'm just getting back into archery and I can tell you I'd be happy with about anything that would help me out. I'm sure whatever you choose will make him happy.

LOL! And we wonder why our kids get back at us when they turn into teens!

Ditto the compliments. Far less drag time than it was there for awhile.

LOL!

Neat!

Sounds backwards to me.

What are we talkin' about?!

That's no good!

Pretty fish. Never caught a muskie in my life...

It sounds like its the same thing Michigan is doing. The point of the program is to make it easier to get young people introduced into the sport of hunting. The catch is to have a responsible hunter accompaning the youngster. Here's a clipping from the Michigan DNR website: Apprentice Hunting License A person who does not have a hunter safety certificate may purchase an apprentice hunting license. An apprentice hunter may purchase this license for two license years before he or she must successfully complete a hunter safety course. The apprentice hunting license is available to residents and nonresidents. Apprentice hunters under age 17, when afield, must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or someone 21 or older designated by their parent or guardian. This individual must possess a valid, regular hunting license to hunt the same game as the apprentice hunter. "Accompanied by" requires the adult to be able to come to the immediate aid of the other person and staying within a distance from the other person that permits uninterrupted, unaided visual and verbal contact. Apprentice hunters 17 and older, when afield, must be accompanied by someone 21 or older, who possesses a valid, regular hunting license to hunt the same game as the apprentice hunter. A person may accompany no more than two apprentice hunters while hunting.

"Strangely" enough the avitar was the same used by "another" user asking about single girls 16-17 years old earlier as well another newly registered user. Nothing suspicious there. In today's day and age I wouldn't be suprised if all three were the same person - we don't need that kind of person lurking around here IMO.

Its 100% up to him. It sounds like he's having some fun doing it. If he is anything like my dad then its probably a matter of saying no but deep down wanting to - just afraid of looking foolish or such. For example, I invited my dad turkey hunting this fall. He initially said no but it wasn't a very convincing "no." I assured him I'd provide everything and do all the foot work, etc. He'd just have to show up and shoot was well as he normally does. He thought about it a bit and relaxed and he and I are going on his first ever turkey hunt this fall. After everything he's taught me about hunting I'm glad I can return the favor - I just had help him feel comfortable with the idea. Good luck!
