I was going to fix the photo for you, but your image size is WAY TOO BIG according to the forum rules.

Resize it so its width is no larger than 600 pixels.

Then use the the [ bracket to open a img command and a ] bracket to close that command.

Then post the url

Then use another [ bracket followed by a / slash and type img followed by a ] bracket.

That will post your image. If you need help, I can fix it for you, but you will have to resize the image first.

Friday week ago the postman delivered my new 70" ntn Tembo. Ain't she a beaut in the 1st 2 pix? Couldn't wait to get into the woods for some stump killin! Next 3 photos show an opening in the thick woods over a mile off the nearest road. Hog tracks galore w/scat in the 5th pic down in Protege's post. That's the Reparrow from Rick I'm drawing. Killed an oak log headon through some dried leaves. My heart sank at the "whack" sound. Was shocked to see no damage at all! Impossible! I hard tested that arrow all weekend. Couldn't be happier. Thought I'd share some great Hill vibes.

LBben, she's a healthy one at 90#@28". That arrow is 32" & I drew consistent 30" first time out. Had Ruth pick me up some more spinach.

Much obliged Muddster. Back at you for those beauties you brought home recently.

Wannabe, you & Ben started it all. If Ruth calls either of you, tell her you don't know me & you'll be fine.

Forgot the last photo. Seemed God smiled on me after a beautiful day in the woods with that incredible sunset.

Count on it Wannabe. I've got over 50 miles across our Forest here. If you come, bring plenty of arrows! Might smoke a hog or 2.

Tembo is as simple a 4 lam stack as you can get. I was always put off by that. Not anymore. If I had a blind shoot test, probably couldn't tell a minute's difference between them all (my Hills). Much appreciate your kind replies.

Sup Chupe? Rick you old renegade! Hope things are well w/you & the family. One bad Hill here boss. Moved to the country so I stumpshoot & hunt a lot.

Much obliged Ben. Been looking for long & lean with plenty of giddyup! Came in the mail Friday. I'll take her down if I have to. So far, we're compatible.

That may be the heaviest test a Reparrow has been subjected to so far! Who's Rick, in the context of the Reparrow arrow?

Rick Stillman made & sent my arrow. He is a sponsor for "the feathered shaft" & goes by "Fletcher" here at TG. He said to "kill it which I can't seem to do. Tremendous strength in this 32" arrow!

Was out yesterday after church around 1:oo PM. Soon deep in the woods enjoying a respite from the freezing temps while stumpshooting w/a BQ full of BH's & enough judos just in case the Stillman has a wreck. Tembo rocks! Found real fresh hog sign. LSS, I found hogs on public land after 3 years.

The wind was right so I began my stalk in earnest. When 30 yards away I have a broadside shot on the 100#'er. Unsuitable w/the new Tembo heavyweight as I'm not yet comfortable shooting that distance with this bow. Step lightly, crouch, & don't breathe to get a little closer while he's busy rooting. Why does my heart have to beat so loud? Sweat is coming from places I don't sweat. All the sudden, his fat muy grande egg dragging uncle comes out of the thick bush broadside! Wow! This guy is a tank. Just guessing 250 dressed. My heart took off. I was stooped & bowed slinking through the thick stuff trying not to make any noise. These guys must be deaf if they can't hear my heart now! 3 blacks & 2 multicolored. Medium black had silver rimmed ears. Never saw that before & it was weird. No way can I pull this bow in this position. I'll be good Lord if you'll just give me a shot. Was kidding there because I'd be good anyway. Trailed hogs (5 total) over 100 yards before breaking it off & going around the other side hoping to head them off. Sure enough here they come. The big boy is scratching his big hairy pork butt high up on a tree through the woods. Just as I was thinking what luck, I felt cold air on the back of my neck. You know what that means? My heart's beating fast as Jesse Owens just recalling the events. I'll be out again first chance. My camera was on my back & I got no pix. Never even considered it. Go figure.

Good deal Mr. Bell. Nothing like hunting pigs on the ground.Sometimes after the shot or even if I don`t get a shot and they bust out I have to sit down and get it back together.Great Story.RC

Great story telling Buddy.

I can identify with the heart issue...lol I can remember a time or two I actually asked myself, "Are you having fun yet? or is this a heart attack?"...lol

Thanks for sharing Buddy aka Straitera.

Muddster, you made me laugh w/"fun yet or heart attack". Gonna use that one. It's true though is what makes it funny. When the big boy came out I thought "full blown stroke" (gas I guess). Just too exciting to tell right.

CR, you & Wannabe & RC & Marty & Muddster & whoever the heck wants to go, let's pick a good common ground & get after some hogs or elk or whatever. Bet we'd have big fun. Thanks for the favorable comments folks.
