Took out my 55# bamboo Hill style bow made by John McDonald of Big River bows, tapered POC, Tree Shark with a 75gr woody weight. It wasn't long before two button bucks came within range followed by a doe. I was finally able to draw when all eyes were looking away and the doe presented a good shot.

Great shot! Looks like some easy tracking.
I really like how forgiving a Hill bow is, regardless of heavy cloths, facemask, glove. My RD longbow hybrids are more sensitive to these factors.
Cool!
G6od shooting, too!
Man those tree sharks seem to cut big holes. Nice work!
Great job, glad to see folks still after it in the late season!! :thumbsup:

First deer I shot with a Treeshark, they fly great and leave an easy to follow blood trail, especially in the snow.
:clapper: :clapper:
Congrats on the doe nice shooting.... :thumbsup:

I often wondered about that I've only owned a Bob Lee recurve and a big Jim buffalo though the big Jim is more,forgiving than my Lee I often wondered about a Hiil Style. ...

Awesome hunt and shot! Thats what its all about right there!
Outstanding
Well done! Mind if I ask - treestand or ground? Other details...?
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Very nice! Gotta love the hole those Simmons leave behind.....nice shot! :thumbsup:
"La fletcha" it was from a tree stand and the tip of the Treeshark poked out the off side just above the bottom corner of the ribs(8" lower than the entrance) Fun thing about snow hunting is you get to setup where "all" the heavy trails are currently and eliminate the non traveled trails. Its almost unfair. The recovery was only 30yds. Nothing better than a blood trail on the snow and a quick humane arrow. No matter a big buck or a doe, for me, I really like to make a well controlled, accurate shot. The next morning I had 2 does and a 1 1/2 yr old 8 pointer come by at 8 yards. An easy pass up since I shot the doe last night. They payed no attention to the heavy blood they walked over from the night before, which still always surprises me.
