-- My name is Gabe Borges, and I'm 10 years old. I shot my first buck on Sunday, Oct. 28, 2007, at 8 a.m. It was about 5 a.m. when my dad woke me up that morning. I got all my stuff on and headed out with my dad and my brother, Christian, for the morning hunt.
Christian was dropped off at his stand about 5:45 a.m. Then Dad and I walked to our stand along an extended power line. Sunday morning was beautiful. The weather was clear and somewhat cold. After sitting for a while, we saw a big doe walk out. My dad wanted me to take the doe, but I did not shoot.
Then at about 7 a.m., another doe walked out of the woods and my dad said to take aim. So I got ready, aimed and shot. The doe jumped up in the air about 3 feet and ran. I told my dad I thought I hit it in the side. My dad said we should wait and look for the doe in a couple of hours. Since it was so early, we stayed in the stand and waited to see if anything else would walk out.

Josh Marrujo started shooting archery when he was 2 1/2 years old. We bought him a red Lil apache Bow. He started shooting at a target with balloons on it in our basement. The better he got, the smaller the balloons he arrowed. He quickly grew out of shooting at balloons.
Josh entered his first 3-D competition in Stanley, N.D., when he was 4. He was excited. He kept watching all the adults shoot.
As Josh has grown during the years, so have his bows. Right now he's pulling back 15 pounds. His bow has no sight on it, so it's considered a bare bow. He does not use a release with his bow, but instead relies on his fingers.
