Wahooooo...Alexis

[FLIPPER]

Yesterday once again my daughter Alexis laid the smack down on a animal

Alexis shot her 1st wild hog! She was a little nervous and had to setup in 3 different places before she made the 20 yard shot. And once again...[like her deer], it fell where it stood! As soon as her .308 sounded off, she was jumping up and down nervously laughing and grinning from ear to ear! Then she high fived me and gave me a hug, I was so proud of her. She has had a good year for a 6 yr old.

I would like to thank Matt [hogguide] Choate for making this possible He is in the last pic.

Way to go Alexis- you are indeed having a banner year (take note Geezers...maybe we can grab her for next years team ).

Flip, you need to tell Matt it's o.k. to smile or is he sitting on a stick?

 

[schmalts]

Cool! Tell us more about the hunt? Where was it?

 

[FLIPPER]

Can you see the big Tennessee grin that Alexis has since the 2 top teeth fell out...

The hunt was at...oh....see the banner above my signature

They do stand hunting, spot and stalk, or will turn the dogs loose, which ever you desire...they also do knife hunts. But I didn't think Alexis could stab it hard enough for that

 

[Whiskers]

Flipper, good deal..next year Alexis will be strong enough to do a knife hunt!!!

 

[Moosie]

Congrats, and nice pictures !

I think this sums it up Del...

The gun is a T/C Encore that I customized for her. It has a .308 pistol barrel, added a muzzlebrake, cut 4" off the butt stock, drilled an extra hole in a full length forearm stock and worked a load down using 120gr bullets.


Price...ALOT!

The rifle...well...receiver 259.00...barrel 200.00...muzzlebrake 150.00...stock 75.00...forearm stock 30.00...LimbSaver slipon 25.00...Leupold Vari X ll 3x9 349.00 for a grand total of $$1100.00

The look on her face.....PRICELESS

 

[Delw]

I really had no idea I had that much in it, till someone asked me about what it would take to build one for their kid. A better pic of the rifle is in one of her deer pics.

Man, that's awesome. $1100, woah, its neat though. Congratulations to both of you!! Fantastic! She's a regular Annie Oakley, eh?

 

[B-Killin]

Zowie!! Alexis takes a great hog.. That's a beautiful oinker young lady. You should be very proud. Maybe your Dad should change your name to Diana?

WAY TO GO ALEXIS!!!!!!!!!!

That is some fine shooting girl.
I know your dad is sure proud.

DAD,
Did you put a SVL pad on the butt?
I need to get my boy one of those!
I guess using the pistol stock makes it easier to cut to the shorter length of pull?

AWESOME!
