Title: snakebit bunny >>>------->
Post by: Pat B. on June 24, 2014, 11:08:00 PM
I walked away from the truck this evening and shot one arrow at a clump.. As I was walking to retrieve that arrow I saw a jackrabbit sitting by a patch of weeds.. Now I really like jack's and almost never bother them but this bow was just begging to be bloodied..  I picked up the arrow and brought the bow to full draw. The bow had that wonderful whisper on release that only a wood bow can have. In an eyeblink the arrow pinwheeled the unsuspecting rabbit in the neck, it exited behind his shoulder on the off side..  He flopped a time or two and lay still..  I walked 38 long steps to him..  A fitting way to break in a fine hunting bow.  Why yes, there may have been a bit of luck involved!

The bow is 65" and draws 53@28"... When I first started shooting it a few days ago I was somewhat apprehensive about drawing it to my normal 29" or so inches...  However, I am now anchoring at my normal corner of the mouth and the bow, at this draw length shows no hint of stacking..  Did I mention that it is huge fun to shoot..  :thumbsup:
