This is all 100% up to my son. He can't wait. We ate going duck hunting tomorrow and he already has his picked out, belt, and my .22 pistol ready to roll.

Like I said I don't believe that I ever adjusted my sights. I did make sure to put light and knocks on all of my practice arrows and shot them that way all summer.

I don't believe I had to move my sights at all when I put them on. But they are fantastic and I highly recommend them.

If a $2000 generator for $60 isn't "too good to be true" then I don't know what is.

So I got the hog saddle today.... how about tripod heads that work best? I assume a fluid head? Maybe a ball head?

Yes I know that, but I haven't seen anywhere (but i havent really looked) a date where you can go pick them up. If I recall, they usually run out before that date comes.

Where are you seeing that?

One with the pinky rest, one without. $40, + $5 shipping if necessary.

Awesome! Hope to be there next year with my son!

That will work. Pretty sure we've done deals before. Ill message you.

Yep, trying to find one used if possible

I have a 1955 model 70 243, but he will try the 257 with the brake and hearing protection. I think he will be ok. He is not small, just a little thin. (didnt get that from me) The 257 will be about perfect. It isnt heavy but it isnt light. its accurate, and has enough speed and killing power to allow for a little bit of room for error. Plus, it will be awesome for him to kill stuff with the famous Chupacabra.

And this is where I am going to struggle. I lack patience sometimes. Few years ago I bought him some Mavens for Christmas. First day out, with binos on a tripod, "Levi be careful don't knock your binos and tripod over." literally 30 seconds later he knocked them over. I chewed on him pretty good... Had to realize they weren't broken and it was an accident. Made it up to him, and am more cognizant of situations like that.

Not to mention we are talking 10 year Olds in their first big game hunt. I'm more concerned with a clean shot than showing his level of marksmanship by shooting from an advanced, non-supported position. Hes not Hatchcock.

Man I couldn't disagree with you more on the bipod. I still have a bipod on my rifle at all times.

He was from California... he missed a nice buck at 600, then smoked a 100" buck at 700!

We will work up to the 257 for sure. I have a 20" heavy barrel AR that we will spend lots of time with. I have lots of 22 and 223 ammo. The "reactive" targets are a great idea, and can shrink as he gets better.

helll, ive hunted with lots of grown asss men who couldnt set up their own rifle, find the deer and kill it! Let alone a brand new hunter.

Much better than a spike that's for sure. Good work!

That left side is what dreams are made of.

Glass with Vortex.

Interesting 0 left over rifle tags for 36b. However 169 leftover for 36c!

That is awesome. Definitely something I'd like to take part of for sure.

Wow. What a stud!

These things are getting out of hand!
