Title: Stone Point Does the Trick!
Post by: nlester on October 08, 2012, 08:26:00 AM
Well, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to get a shot on a nice lead doe last evening.  She came in at about 10 yds and I made the shot count.  When I released, I also hit the bottom of my climber with my lower limb....66in HBI, which is a little longer than I'm used to.  Fortunately for me, it didn't slow my arrow down any.  I really couldn't make a better shot.  It passed clean through.  She didn't know what hit her and did the sideways stagger and piled up in a brush pile.  Although I didn't post it, I have a picture of the heart, it was a dead center!  No wonder she didn't go far or know what hit her.  I was blessed last night.  This was a bow I made from Ipe that I got from tenbrook(Cody Dumont), and arrows I got from Jonathan Creason.  Both are members of this site.  The stone was a piece of Buffalo Chert I believe....amazingly still intake without a blemish.  I couldn't be any happier. Thanks for looking

Thanks everyone.  Its pretty exciting, but putting things in perspective, I have to give the glory to where the glory is due.  Kadbow, no I didn't make the head.  I flintknap, but I'm not near that good.  A friend of mine down the road made it.  He's GOOOOOOD!  Thanks again

nelester, tell me about your bow!
Title: Re: Stone Point Does the Trick!
Post by: nlester on October 08, 2012, 02:12:00 PM
Sean,
The bow I made for this season is a 66in Hickory-backed Ipe that's mid 50's @ 28.  I made two bows in the month of Sept. and this was the one I decided to hunt with.  The other was made out of a hickory stave.  The only thing I don't like about it is the length.  I prefer a much shorter bow and this was the 1st bow I've made over 64" long. You CAN make one, there is no doubt in my mind.  As my friend Stik-n-Strings would say "You gotta want it, and can't have "no" in your heart brother!"
