Title: Broke a cedar yesterday

Got me a 12yrd shot from a natural ground blind on this approx 100lb boar hog on public land here in SC yesterday.Arrow entered tight behind the shoulder and run up to the fletches.After a 70yrd tracking job I found this.

This was an awesome hunt to say the least.He is my first "big"big game animal,I took a piglet last fall.I will remember this hunt forever!

You didn't break the arrow, the pig did.   Nice shooting.   Where in SC do you hunt?   Pat

I think it's all part of the "I'd rather fight than switch." (to compounds) advertising campaign.

I wouldn't mind breaking one that way! Nice shot, but we need a story.
Title: Re: Broke a cedar yesterday
Post by: southernarcher on September 26, 2007, 09:54:00 PM
Thanks guys and gal.It was awesome to say the least.
The bow is a 60"52@28 Kota Prairie Fire,with cedars carrying 125grn STOS.

As for the shiner,I got it at work last Sunday.A pad eye broke loose that a chain fall was hooked too,and it smacked he in the face.Fractured my cheek bone in 4 places,no damage to the chain fall,so I guess it won.I was lucky though as it could have been alot worse.
