10 Year Old shoots Huge Buck with a CVA Accura V2 Muzzleloader

Just the other day I received an email from Dudley over at BPI and it had a picture and brief description of a 10 year old boy and his Grandfather shooting a awesome buck with a CVA Accura V2 from 100 yards.

Brady Hardgrave and his muzzleloader buck

10 year old, Brady Hartgrave and his Grandpa Tim Williams were hunting together on Sept 26 in Clayton County, Iowa during his first youth deer season, for the shot of a lifetime!  Grandpa was watching some does when Brady spotted a buck then Grandpa saw it, not wanting Brady to get over excited, he said don't look at the antlers, look for the shot, and he nailed it with a CVA ACCURA 50 caliber muzzle loader from 100 yards...dropped it like a rock!   I almost forgot that they were elevated 23' in a deer shack built by his Uncle Brad and Grandpa.

The monster 21 pt non typical buck scored 196 1/8 gross and 183 5/8 net. It will be a trophy and a great memory for Brady, when he and his Grandpa got the "big one!" 

I want to give thanks to Brady's mom Jenn for giving me permission to post and to Suzie for the extra picture and the story to go along with it. It just goes to show that the sport of Muzzleloader hunting and muzzleloader shooting in general is constantly on the rise. If it not for a company such as BPI "Blackpowder Products Inc." and CVA "Connecticut Valley Arms" America's #1 leader in Muzzleloader accuracy this awesome experience for Brady and Tim would not have been possible (in my opinion).
