Title: First primitive deer
Post by: locksley94 on October 06, 2012, 01:28:00 AM
I've been shooting an English longbow for a year and this is my first season hunting with it. She isn't big but I wasn't looking for the world record doe.

Thanks guys, it's pretty exciting. I'm glad my first sucessful bow hunt was with this bow and not a compound.
I'm from the Davison area of Michigan

In my neck of the woods thats a big doe! I remember driving out of the Twin Cities years ago and seeing some horses in the snow down by a river and there was no farm nearby.  As I got closer I realized they were does LOL!  Great shot, great accomplishment.  Can you tell me more about the bow.  Were did you get it, how long is it, how many pounds, and if you dont mind telling me, what is your comfortable deer hunting range with it.  Thanks Bruce

Haha I've seen some huge ones too, they really get the blood pumping.
My bow is from rudder bows archery in Washington state, it's 72" long and 55# at 28". I'm comfortable shooting at no more than 20 yards. Target shooting ill play around at 30+ yds.

Yea I stopped in there a few months ago and talked to him, had to get some packing tape and had showed him my bow. He's a real nice guy. He told me to join this forum haha

Great job!!!

Other people may not find this true, but here in Michigan, if you use a longbow like this or a recurve, other hunter figure you can`t afford to buy a new crossbow!

Many happy returns...I`m thinking NOW your looking for a buck!  :D    :campfire:
