Title: first trad deer!!
Post by: J Buck on September 29, 2007, 11:17:00 PM
hi all, tonight i shot my first trad deer. i climbed into my stand after attending a civil war re-enactment. last week i had shot over this same doe. using my checkmate falcon with wensel heads on cedar shafts i drew and shot hitting her in the neck. she went straight down and rolled over snapping my arrow. i put another arrow on, laying on her side- back to me, i shot the second arrow into her mid back. after shooting thousands of arrows and missing six deer, i finally did it! now i'm after horns! what a feeling.

thanks for the kind responses, you're all cool. sorry about not posting pic's, i wouldn't have a clue how to do it. not set up for it or something. to answer rico's question: this is my first deer with a trad bow. shot a bunch with compound. last year i missed six deer with my recurve, my first year hunting with it. the neck shot: i have no idea why i hit it there. i couldn't believe it myself. i use the tip of the arrow as my so called aiming point. i drew back and anchored put the point on her and let fly, i thought i broke her back. i wasn't nervous or anything. it just happened the way it did. thanks again to all. by the way, those wensel heads are wicked.

LOL I know things can go wrong under hunting conditions.
  Have you tryed shooting instinctive. That made a big difference for me. Good Luck on that buck.
