My nine year old got her first deer yesterday, with "her" Black Hole Weaponry barreled 6x45. She made a perfect 80 yard shot, busted the shoulder, blew out the heart, golf ball sized exit, the deer ran about 50 yards and crashed across the creek ( I thought ).

That noise y'all heard about 4:30 yesterday was my daughter screaming and doing a victory dance. We had a little scare when we went to retrieve the deer, and could not find it where I thought it crashed, went back to POI, and trailed it to the creek, and there she was, submerged in the creek. My daughter grabbed both of my hands, and said "this is my best day ever Dad", I think I must have gotten something in my eye :)

the 85gr SGK did a much better job on this deer, The load I killed my doe with was my barrel break in load, this load was pushed closer to max with 25gr's of H335, 2gr made a huge difference

That's great! I was 18 years older than her when I killed my first. She's got one heck of a head start on me. Congratulations!

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

Great shots, I see that you made sure she was blooded. Many happy returns. Congrats.

Nice Shooting! Beautiful shot placement. Looks like you spent some time teaching her what to do and it looks like she was paying attention. Good job dad! Looks like you took plenty of photos too. She'll remember that day forever. Congratulations to both of you!
