Robertson Vision Longbow 52@28 600 grain CE Heritage 150 with WW broadhead.
Fun post !
My first bow killed deer was with traditional gear.
1973, about a 10 yard shot.
Groves 42 lb. recurve with Micro Flight arrows and Hilbre heads.
The bow was totally restored to better that new condition by a good friend several years ago, complete with the same type arrows and heads.
For nostalgia, I took a turkey with it a couple years ago.
1973.................

Took her from the ground (I was standing with my back to a tree) with my DH Hunter 55#, Easton XX78s and a Magnus two blade broadhead.
I've taken rabbits and squirrels with that bow in the past, but this is my first whitetail.
Nice Picture Khan.Good job.
I'd post mine, but you've probably seen enough of that in my other thread :bigsmyl: ;)
