Title: Finally...
Post by: erictetterton on September 29, 2013, 01:43:00 PM
Well I finally got my first deer with the longbow.
Bow: Big Jim thunderchild 56" 50@30

Arrow: CX Heritage full length with 175gr Zwickey Delta and nockturnal lighted nock

Shot: I hit her a little far back but still got both lungs and the liver. She was broadside @ 15yds and ran 50yds before expiring

Setup: Primos Vision 360 ground blind

Deer: Doe weighing 90lbs

What a great hunt

the memory of the first trad deer will stick with you for ever.  Mine was 21 years ago. I  can close my eyes and still see that cedar arrow with white feathers arcing toward that mule deer doe.. I can see her running and hear that crash of her falling..(I wondered what to make of that sound?)
