I would also like to add that it was a solid double lung. I was using my 45 lb k mag and goldtip 3555 with a 125 grain steel adapters and 135 grain zwickey deltas. No exit wound, it stuck deep in the offside shoulder. Very impressed with the bows performance . The deer only made it 80 yards on a full sprint. Still have 2 more tags to fill  :)

Congratulations to you Myran! I took my first trad deer last year at six yards on the ground. There's something to be said abut up close and personal, eh? Welcome to the bright side!

Thanks guys, as for the squirrels, they were shot with my homemade blowgun and darts, but that is for another place, not bowhunting related. Very fun way to hunt them though. Anyway i dont regret selling my compounds one bit. The Don Dow Stik bow is ready for monday morning, such a good shooter i have no choice but to hunt with it. VERY quiet. I do have lots of faith in that little 45LB K mag. I'm trying for a deer with each. The k mag did great, now for the longbow. Thanks again folks.
