We got out to the range to check one last time, making sure the Savage Axis in 6.5 Creedmoor is dialed in for Youth weekend. The rifle was zeroed and shooting a touch left at 100 yards. I wanted to make sure my grandson felt comfortable with everything one more time. I liked him punching paper at 25 yards, approximately 1.5" low. We made a few adjustments/clicks to the right. His first 2 shots, same hole! Next 2 shots were slight adjustments. The fifth shot, he went for a lil Kentucky windage to try for the bullseye, hence the big smile! The rifle really seems to favor the Winchester, 125 gr Deer Season Copper Impact XP ammo! And the M-CARBO Pro Trigger kit is smooth as glass! The gear is all ready. Ladder stands are triple ratchet strapped. Lifelines and safety vests good to go!

Looks good and he is ready! If you dont mind me adding to your post? My boy has been slinging some lead as well. We will be out as long as all the stars align. Here is his last group at 65yds with a 243 in the yard at home. Just adding this to help share the positives of a successful upbringing, where a kid in todays world can still use guns safely, constructively, and for good purpose.

Hey deadeer, buddy! Add to the post all ya want! Anybody into the Youth weekend-feel free to post at will! Great, and thanks! Figured as much. Who doesnt want to show off kids good accomplishments? Luke is sporting a brand new pair of glasses this week, so he will be surprised at how clean, crisp, and clear everything will be. Hopefully we will next all be showing off some successful youth hunt pictures as well... The weather is looking good.

I'll be joining a buddy of mine over in Hebron Saturday evening in hopes of getting his son his first deer. I'm hoping to catch it all on film for them. Best of luck all.

One of my grandsons will be going out this weekend with his dad. He will be using his Excalibur crossbow that he has confidence in. If trail cam pics are any indication he should be successful.

Over the past few days I’ve been watching the weather. I must say that I have been less than enthusiastic about heading out in the rain Saturday morning. And I guess I am just wore out from such a crazy work schedule and so many weekends that I’ve really found it hard to get in the groove! But my grandson is all jacked up. He’s excited about the chance to sit in the tree stand in the rain! He said he doesn’t even care if we see anything as long as we can be out there, rain or shine! I love his enthusiasm! So ready will be! And the more we gather our gear and get the buggy ready for tomorrow the more I’m getting my head into this game!
