Title: Swap bow success???
Post by: Bvas on June 17, 2019, 10:39:00 AM
With this years swap wrapping up, I was curious......

I fully intend to use the bow I received to hunt with.  It may not be my primary bow, but it will definitely see some time in the woods this fall.

So I was wondering, has anyone from past swaps used the bow they received to successfully take any game? Pics?

No pics but I managed to get a squirrel yesterday with my bow from Roy. First trad kill to boot.

Dannon, congrats.

I took this years bow out for turkeys this year but they were playing coy.

Probably not. I’m sure I must have cut myself at least once while I was building my bow. 🙂

I don't hunt as much as I'd like to now days but I promise this, I will kill my fair share of time with my bows from last year and this year.

No success with one yet, but I've been so set on getting a deer with my own longbow for the last bazillion years that I haven't given them as much time in the woods as they deserve. This year will be different. Started tuning some new arrows to the bow, but didn't get all the way to perfect before I had to put it away for the night. Will finish up this weekend once back in town and start practicing all summer on the 3D courses with it.

Dave I'm jealous of your shooting skills! I consider myself a fair shot but my shot consistency is nothing compared to yours.

Well, except for Roy. He actually sticks his in the target before taking pictures.

Haha. While I was shooting with my daughter she was all excited that I could hit the eye and nose of my 3D woodchuck. I neglected to tell her I was aiming for the scoring zone on the chest.

LOL that's why I like to shoot at targets that have circles all over them. your always bound to hit one and no one needs to know which one you were aiming at

Travis makes a heck of a bow. If you want to find out next year, I hear bourbon makes my fingers sticky when drawing names.  Just sayin...

Maybe the bourbon made your fingers sticky and caused a poor release and made the arrows fly funny?
