Title: Daughters first bird
Post by: sirsnap on December 02, 2010, 07:55:34 PM: My daughter got her first pheasant last weekend. I couldn't believe it the first time she shot at a bird she folds this nice rooster. It was great getting her and the dog out together I'm really looking forward to next season.

Post by: sirsnap on December 02, 2010, 08:55:32 PM: Yes we hunted the new Ebey Island release sight. The gun is a youth tri star viper G2 in 20 gauge. I shot a few pheasants this year with her gun it is a pretty nice little gun.

It works well for her when it's not super wet it keeps her pretty warm and she still has good mobility.

And what about when it gets wet? Does it still offer some warmth or does it make things worse? I don't have a real problem with the cold, its more of the barb wire, thorns that I deal with.

Post by: sirsnap on December 05, 2010, 09:51:19 PM: I've had her out in the rain in it and it seems to keep her pretty dry and warm. The only thing is it doesn't offer much protection for her belly.

I cant wait to be able to take my twin boys out when they can actually use a real gun to get some rabbits and quail. As they enjoy so much shoothing them with their toy guns.
