king Arthur hunts the peasants game
« on: February 28, 2011, 06:02:25 pm »
This is maybe more appropriate in the shooting and hunting forum, but it is about the bow too so ???
Took the new Osage bow(King Arthur) and went hunting a less royal, but no less worthy, quarry. The result.....
About a 15 yard shot.........typical bunny "through the thick stuff" type shot........hit a bit far back but still managed to collect him.
Ended the day with a dandy sunset to boot. :)

ive never been hunting, but heard small game is a more difficult hunt than bigger stuff, just on accuracy stand point.

anyways, nice pictures, nice bow and good shooting.

Always great to see a new bow make it's first meat, blooding it in if you will. You did give it it first blood smear? ;)
