I got this doe last week with a bow that I made. My friend Caleb helped me build this laminated longbow. Never tried that before and without Caleb's help I might still be building it today. After it was finished I had to come up with a name and since my nickname is Pac I thought pac-a wallop was catchy.
I hunted with this bow all last season but never got the first shot. Last week I was up in my stand on public ground. She came by broadside at around 15 yards and was munching on acorns. When her head went behind a tree I drew and waited for her ribs to come into view on the other side of the tree.
She went about 70 yards and I heard her fall. My first deer with my own bow was on the ground.She is also the first deer I have shot with a wooden arrow that I have built. What a feeling.

I was in my climber not on the ground. My bottom limb hit my stand and caused my hit to go right a bit. I got the liver and she was down quickly, maybe no more than 45 seconds. I found my feathered end of my arrow but could not find the Ace broadhead. I looked for two days but no luck.
No better feeling is there.
You are hooked deep now.
Thats awsome. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :clapper:
