Title: Spring and LIFE highlight-1st Trad kill
Post by: TomBow on May 02, 2012, 12:54:00 PM
I posted in the Pow-Wow the whole story of my recent and 1st Traditional kill (long story over there) but I am telling whoever will listen that I DID IT WITH TRAD GEAR.  I heart shot this bird on Saturday, April 28, 2012.
 (http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd401/TomBowMTB/1stTradkill-.jpg)

10 1/4" beard, 1 1/8" spurs, 24 lbs.

Next goal, harvest a whitetail with my longbow!

:thumbsup:    :thumbsup:   Way to go sir!  Try to go back and resize your picture to 640 x 480 so it doesn't get pulled.

rastaman--Yup, went back and re-sized the pic so "No yankin' me picture, eh!!"

It is QUITE a thrill to harvest with a longbow.  I have been in the clouds for quite a few days since and am enjoying it a whole lot!

Thanks,
TomBOw

monsterchelli--How do you like the Kestral?  I shot one at Toelke's but was fixated with the Whip and I must say I am quite happy with it.  My second bow is a '65 K-Mag 58# and I enjoy shooting it but like the looks and feel of the Kestral.  Something about the short recurve that appeals to me.

I am very Happy with the Kestral.   :thumbsup:    

Only issue,  I can't post my first kill on it because this Coyote down here in acworth is "slick"
(Must be the same guy that chased the road runner all those years)

But i'm committed, its gonna be this coyote or 3-d targets  of coyotes for this bow.

God Bless
