Have a new young buck at work just getting into hunting and wants to learn from the "Master". Anybody know him? Ha Ha. Anyway I took him to the bowshop I use and he bought a full setup a, used Darton 3800. Fantastic bow by the way .....shooting 341fps at 30 in draw 62lbs. He got everything except arrows and a release. Finally got arrows and a release too. Anyway he shot at his house a day or 2 ago with me coaching him. Got pretty good at 30yds. Got himself lit up a couple times on the forearm from not having correct hand position. Nice raspberry. He'll remember that. Anyway took him to my club to shoot out of the kestrel. He loved it. He made some good shots too even off his weak side too. We may have a brand new archer and saddle hunter in the ranks boys and girls. And a future Mantis owner?
One thing I didn't expect was that it fired me up to get ready for this season. When you've been hunting for 55 yrs. it kinda gets a little routine. Don't get me wrong I love hunting and will do it as long as I can but teaching this kid has brought back some of the passion I had lost.
