Title: Paul Bunyan fiberglass bow gets it done
Post by: pdk25 on May 13, 2021, 04:34:38 AM

Finally got a shot on a decent pig with my late 1950's Paul Bunyan 100 that is around 48# at my draw. Used an old grizzly el grande broadhead.  Only went around 60 yards, and I heard it stop and gurgle some. Still gave it a few hours since I couldn't see the arrow impact.  Coyotes had started chewing a little bit,  but not terrible.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I stopped counting a while back.  Gonna guess maybe 215 with a trad bow, a little over 250 including rifle kills.

Thanks everyone.

Good to hear from you Kathy.  Hope all is well and that you are still getting out there hunting.  I still appreciate you taking me out to your archery range back before I moved to Oklahoma.  My time in Oklahoma has run it's course, and I will be making a new change at the end of July.  They local hogs won't mind that, lol.
