I took my oldest daughter hunting this weekend, my younger two love it but the oldest just showed an interest last week. I had taken her to the range and she tried several of my guns and really liked the AR 6.8 the best by far so that was the weapon. I had loaded some of the Accubond 110 with 29.6 H322 which had been doing quite nicely at the range.
We sat last night and had 5 young bucks from 4/8 points and one doe. I told her that she could shoot the doe and we would save these young bucks for another year or two. She set the ACOG chevron on the shoulder and slam, I saw white belly and a quick turn to the brush. We came out of our blind and eased up to the trail and I showed her some blood. She took it from therre and tracked the doe about 15 yards down a trail. There she laid with a ball af lung blown out of her side. It was a nice shot from 85 yards taking the top of the heart and both lungs. The Accubond put the serious whammy on her.
My daughter, 17, and a pagent-all girl type, was beside herself in excitement. I have never seen anyone so ellated and intrigued by the experience. She even was great and curious about the cleaning and wanted to see all the organs, wants to be a doctor.
The 6.8 is a phenominal cartridge for deer. No kick and slams the animal. She is now a huge AR fan too.
The your kid hunting and you won't have to hunt your kid.
