As he rushed to the window he saw an unknown man trying to force his 8-year-old sister into the nearby woods. With no time to waste, [Owen grabbed a bat and his trusty slingshot](. If one didn’t work, he knew darn well the other would. Cool as a cucumber, Owen loaded up his wrist-rocket with a marble, lined up his shot from 200 feet away, and let it fly. Owen’s aim was sure and true- the marble pegged the would-be kidnapper square in the head. It was an incredible shot, to be sure, but [Owen wasn’t done](. He picked up a nearby rock and fired it across the same distance, striking the man right in the chest. Talk about a perfect shot! His quick thinking stopped the assailant in his tracks.

In an [interview with Owen]( and his family, he calmly gave the most solid advice a 13-year-old could give to the parents who tuned in for it— “if your kid wants a slingshot, get them one.” [(Join the Facebook discussion here)]( Image courtesy of YouTube - Bring It North Official TALENT [5 Boys Blend Voices For Unbelievable Song]( Boy bands have a way of capturing hearts and the young lads from "Bring It North" are no exception.
