I took my first deer in archery season this Sat. It's not the first deer I've ever shot but it sure is the most rewarding. 
I shot this doe less than 15 yards from my stand and saw her fall just another 20 yards beyond. 
I was shooting a Martin Hunter Recurve, 53# @ 29", CX 150 with 50gn brass insert and 125gn Steel Force broad head. Total arrow wt is 531gns. 
I can honestly say Trad Gang has been an immense source of information for someone like me who is new to traditional archery. I'd aslo like to mention, I have been impressed with the Traditional community as whole. Not really sure how I want to say it and don't want to sound elitist but I consistently see a serious, dedicated, ethical, and conservation minded sportsman. Solid group of people on here. 
Thanks Trad Gang for this great resource.

				Congratulations. 
You ain`t so new to trad archery any longer.
Those Martin Hunters will not let you down if you do your part, and obviously you do your part.
A clean kill from close range. Way to go man. 
Many happy returns to you.  :thumbsup:
