Yes killed 3 does, dad a nice 4 pointer, but the best part aS being their when my 8 years old nephew killed his first one a doe about 75 yards away. It was the first deer he ever shot at and his first year he was old enough to take a gun been in the woods since he was 2. He did every thing his self. To me the best part was giving the rifle after a model seven 7/08 youth, and seeing his face light up.
