MUDRUNNER Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I plan on taking my 10 year old daughter out a few times after muzz season. Got the new Barnett sighted in and she's good to go out to 20 yards with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 My 11 year daughter said she was going to go with me as well (back in October). However, since the temperature dropped below freezing last week she wants no part of it. I wish IL would have allowed crossbows for kids throughout the entire archery season. I have a TenPoint with a scope and after a few shots she was hitting the mark every time at 20 / 30 / and 40 yards. Hope she gets one MUD!

MUDRUNNER Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I agree. My daughter is only about 50 lbs., and won't be strong enough to bowhunt for years, and a this point a 20 gauge is still too much for her. With the cross bow season being so late the conditions are tough for a seasoned hunter, let alone a youngster just getting started. Hopefully it warms up a little. I have a ground blind set up on a narrow food plot just for her, so we'll see how it goes. We have really been struggling to see deer at our farm this year though.
