Thinking about waiting till at least 10 to get her in hunters ed, but she really had fun and we got 1 bird up but no shot.
so happy i can share the outdoors with my little girl!...

Makes a heck of an armrest too. ;)

I got her a practice bow so she can learn to hunt and I also have a real bow for her to shoot deer with, but that will wait till she can pull it back all the way, and fells comfortable with holding the bow at full draw.
