Im a little late with the update but better late than never I guess. We ended up not using the AR but we put the crossbow to work right away. My little man got it done with the crossbow back on October 8 and was able to take this 8 point all by himself with a little help from his Bog Pod bipod shooting stick. The full story is in the deer hunting forum under My 4 Year Olds Walton Co Monster if you want to check it out.
