My middle son's kill last weekend, a scant 9 days after his 7th birthday (last year he killed his first deer a few days before his 6th birthday). So far the kid has fired two shots at big game animals and subsequently made two one-shot kills at 85 or 90 yards. After he shot this one I figured out I had the scope dialed down to 2x but it didn't affect his shot placement at all. For the record, his big brother elected to sleep in the two weekends that we hunted...this one apparently has the drive to go along with the hand-eye coordination.
Shot made with a 7mm-08 Ruger Frontier, shooting 139-grain Hornady Interbond at ~2,850 fps.
