TR0UBLE SH00TER Report post Posted October 3, 2022 I've enjoyed all of your stories and photos here in the youth hunter section. I've shown them to my 11 year old son too. I'm curious as to what ML rifle and load he was using, if you don't mind answering? Because I put my 11 year old (currently 95 lbs) in for ML deer hunt this year. But that's the only hunting rifle he doesn't have yet. He got drawn for rifle deer and elk instead though, so we do have some time yet. Just curious. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He got drawn for rifle deer and elk instead though, so we do have some time yet. Just curious. . I have a Vortex strike fire made by traditions. We were using 80 grains by volume of Blackhorn 209 with 250 grain Hornady SST’s. It is about 10 years old and shoots pretty good but no where close to some of the new ones. It groups about 3” at 100 yards and 6” at 200. That’s pretty much our max range with it. Recoil is a bit stiff but my boy is about 100 lbs and doesn’t mind it. He says it feels like his 20 gauge with 3” turkey loads. Good luck on your boys hunts this fall! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The measurements we did grab. beams were 49” and 50”. Inside spread 42”. 13 tine measurements totaling 168”. This was 309” without 8 mass measurements. Mass appeared to be 60-63” but may be a touch less so I may be a little on high side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anarchy outdoors makes a muzzle break you could add to your muzzy and they do work.I put one on my paramount pro and it shoots 115 gr of blackhorn .It took the recoil down quite a bit.It might work for you with your son. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chef Report post Posted October 3, 2022 Congrats to your son! Crazy that the bull came in quiet and you guys were able to put the smack down on him! That is a STUD bull. I love all the character from the kicker, to the inline, to the cool forked brow tine. Way to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
