My 12 year old got his first antelope tag this year. We scouted for a good one for him for several weeks before finding this group. Put about a mile stalk on them, got him set up, ranged him at 527, he made his adjustments on his scope, waited for him to sort himself from the herd and shot him through the neck. Pretty happy little fella!

Awesome!
Nice shooting, and memories
Wow!
Kudos to that young man. Shooting at 527 yds is a feat many can't do. And I know it's hard to close the distance on them in the field. The wind must have been dead calm & the hunting Gods wanted to smile upon him!
Great to hear!

You're not wrong. It was early morning and the wind was nearly absent - he held into the wind (his hold was mid neck when the buck was grazing). He has been shooting ground squirrels with that rifle for 2 years and been shooting around 8 years altogether now.Originally Posted by contender1
I made it sound like it was almost a snap shot. He was in his bipod with my jacket under his stock to hold elevation. He is HAIR - PULLING slow setting up his shots, but it works for him - I have watched several critters walk because he couldn't get comfortable with his shot.

Very impressive and congrats. Out here deer are taken at about 50 yards.
Congratulations.
That's an amazing shot and a beautiful antelope. Congratulations to him and you.
Very nice Speed Goat!
I don't know much about antelope trophies, but that sure looks like a nice buck. BTW: Which state are you in?

(The phrase is British I think, means coming along well or better than anticipated)

Cool, I was thinking maybe a Creedmore. I just acquired one at the first of the year, Savage Axis.
I took a pretty decent 6 point whitetail a couple weeks ago. 143 gr. ELD-x over some 4350.
Only 170 yds. though, but it did drt it.
Oh, and can see that being a British term, sounds like something they'd say. Thanks for the reply.

What a joy for me to see this picture. Obviously you taught him how to shoot long ago. I couldn't hit an elephant at that distance!
Does he shoot handguns too?
I gave him a Colt Huntsman for his 10th birthday which he shoots well. I have gotten his older brothers and sister a CCW type pistol for their 12th Christmas (so shhhh.......). Still researching what his will be. He likes my Colt 1903 but shoots my Savage 1907 better. I generally have been getting them 9mm new production (Glock, Smith and Wesson, Kimber, and my only daughter got a Colt 1903 that I had engraved for her).

I should mention, the rifle he is using is from a baseball raffle that he sold tickets for so his team could pay for regional tournaments. I never win anything, but his big sis did and handed it over to her baby brother.
