I wanted to get my daugher--who is 12--started hunting this year, but she still can't pull back the compound I got her, so I decided to buy a Parker Tornado crossbow today at Cabela's. It's pretty impressive, and I can't wait to take my daughter out for the early hunt. She's been going out with me the last couple years, and I'm excited to see her--hopefully--get her first deer.

Maybe next year, she can handle the compound.
