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.................

Mine was this early this season.

(http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff187/GingivitisKahn/my_first_doe_20071003_smaller.jpg)

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.
