so someone else can put the crosshair on the animal and lock it down and all the kid has to do is touch the trigger, then everyone jump up and down and commend him on his shooting skills? i'd take a young hunter slingin lead on his own

^^^^ I think elk would prefer the triclawps.. now a kid and a shotgun with a dove blazing over head... thats when you need to be a good shot!

missing, shooting too much, getting over excited etc. is part of being a young hunter and developing your shooting skills. congrats to the young man. i took a couple of young hunters on their first deer hunt this last fall. they drew a great youth hunt and it was a great time. saw over 50 bucks in 2 days. the kids had a blast. there was plenty of shooting taking place and they both filled their tags on nice animals without any "aiming assistance"

Flatlander, If you are referring to my son then keep in mind, First hunt ever in his life, He is terminally ill, and shooting a rifle that he had only helped sight in 6 times. A little buck fever? Yes! Without a doubt. You must not have children. And if you do I hope they are healthy.

I have three children, and thank God they are healthy. I meant nothing derogatory about your son. I too have flung lots of lead in the heat of the moment, some when I was young, and some when I was a little older. I think the Triclawps is a great innovation to help with young and/or new hunters, I wish they were around when I was a kid. That's it, no criticism intended.

 

I enjoyed the story, thanks for sharing.
