Son-in-laws first deer
« on: November 02, 2008, 07:58:27 pm »
Fellas,I am tickled.My son-in law,Zach, shot his first deer EVER this morning,with all self equipment.He moved to an area with 3 fresh scrapes,and was rewarded with a 8 yard shot,double-lunged him,great blood trail,and a 40 yard pile-up. He used his 3rd,and latest bow,a 48" silk-backed osage D-bow,50#@25".His arrow was one of our switch-canes with a band-saw trade point.He just started huntin' a couple of years ago,after joinin' our family,and I'll say he's off to a great start!!! All he could say was ,"that was awesome",(Y'all remember the first one,dont you?)I think it would be safe to say he's a "Lifer",from this point on.   Oh yea,we got him back to the house,cut up and on ice,and still made it in time for church this morning.    God Bless

Here's a couple of pictures;

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

 Recurve shooter,your right,these short bows are great in the brush.The first 9 years I built bows,about 65" was the shortest I built.Then this past year, I tried shorter bows,mainly from seeing some of those being posted on this site.I really like them,and they perform very well , so,I'm hooked om em.God Bless
