July 27, 201510 yr Maybe a better thing is to see if the little men want to learn how to shoot a bow, then you can target practice and set up courses and teach them the skill.
July 27, 201510 yr Of course I see all the gun talk and I want a bow, so perhaps not.3 uses:fishing for carpshooting a ~1.5yr old old deer wild turkeyCrossbows are legal in my state now so that would be my first go into killing things with a stick and string. not legal to fish with until you are 60 here

I would hate to try to find a bow with your draw length. Your options will be extremely limited. For Deer and bird a shotgun makes sense, although if you can use rifle, I prefer a rifle all day over a shotgun for big game. In Southern NY we used to have to use shotgun, although that has finally changed. I had 3 shotgun for hunting. For Deer, I had an Ithaca Model 37 Deerslayer. The Model 37 was THE choice for law enforcement for decades. It's 100% reliable action, with a bottom feed, bottom eject made it perfect for moving through houses side by side. My deer gun was scoped. It was my grandfather's shotgun, he bought it brand new, drilled and tapped, scoped and slung in 1956 for $87. I still have the receipt! My bird guns were a Remmy Model 870, in 12 Ga and a 20Ga later model Ithaca 37. I very rarely used the Remmy, as I love the Ithaca action. If you want a rifle, which I suggest, it will depend on what you want as a budget. I love Savage model 12s for out of the box accuracy. I love my Tikka T3 Hunter in 270WSM. It will easily take any big whitetail up your way. It is no problem to drop sheep from 400 yards, mulies from 5, so no issue with whitetail, no matter how big. It is fairly inexpensive to shoot, it won't blow your shoulder out every time you shoot it, and it will be very fast, very accurate, and very deadly. If you want to spend a little more, Kimber or Sako will provide great rifles for $1-2K. For optics, Nightforce SHV, Vortex PST for glass. My Savage Model 12, with Vortex Optics My Model 12 and my son's Model 11 in .243

July 28, 201510 yr Sean I would be honored to go shoot with you sometime.Deer = rifleTurkey = shotgunI am assuming you mean in MN at least. Shotgun and deer in MN is much more complex last I looked.If it's for the boys I feel firearms are a lot "safer" than bows.
