Got my Grendel put together a few weeks ago. This is the first time I have assembled an upper. Took my son out this weekend for youth rifle and he shoots a 17pt buck. Not a big buck, but he has 17 points. He took the shot at 107 yards with a 123 A-max. He placed it right behind the shoulder and the deer went about 20 yards and fell over. A memory for a lifetime thats for sure.

Congrats to both of you! Tell him now, he might never shoot another 17 pointer!

Wow. That's awesome. I am a new dad (not even two yet). I dream about that day you just had. Congrats !

He will be known at his school as Buckmaster ! I can remember my first deer with my dad. Something you guys will have forever !

You do realize that the Grendel is now his, and you will need to build another one for yourself, right?
Congrats to the both of you.

Very well done and for sure a memory and an inspiration for his hunting future.

Great buck and good looking young man! You should be proud!

Excellent post. My little one is keeping from typing much more.
Proud dad - Whelenon - 10-24-2012
How sweet is that, the smile says it all. A great memory for both of you. Congratulation.
Of course jealousy rears it's ugly head, I've been deer hunting more years than I want to admit and haven't shot anything even close to this one. Very nice.

congrats to you and your son. These are the moments that last forever, and get our new generation interested in the things that our rights were founded for. I cant wait until my son is ready for his first.
Proud dad - txgunner00 - 10-24-2012
Very cool!
Proud dad - Fred - 10-24-2012
It just doesn't get better than this for your son and yourself really cool for all

Nice job! You're a good dad.
I just joined this forum today, and I'm leaving for a High Sierra deer hunt on Friday, can't wait to try my luck with my Grendel. I doubt I'll have such a nice photo to post, but wish me luck!

Bar's been set pretty high-nice job to both father and son!
Proud dad - stokesrj - 10-24-2012
Congratulations, very nice buck, great memories. I hunted with my great grandfather, grandfather, dad, and now my four sons. I cherish memories with my family. I'm sure this is one for your son to cherish as well as you.

Thanks everyone. He has a twin brother that now we have to get a buck for. I am fortunate to have a place 2 miles from house that has great deer. Here is one I shot last year with my bow.

I'm planning on hunting this weekend with the 123 Amax round, too....looks like it will work just fine until I can work up a nice hand load with a dedicated hunting bullet.
