Title: NC Buck with 1970's Mercury Hunter
Post by: Nomadstalker on November 03, 2015, 07:44:00 PM
Took my best archery buck to date three weeks ago. He came in with the oldest buck I've ever seen.  He had to be 4.5-5.5 years old or older.  The older buck never settled and eventually walked off.  I was able to draw and shoot his partner here at 7 yards.  He ran about 75 and crashed.  I used a 62" Ben Pearson Mercury Hunter 63#@28 and 2216's with a 190gr Ribtek that I bought from Biathlonman in the sponsor classifieds mounted on a steel 100gr insert.  Total arrow weight 690gr. The Ribteks sharpen really well, are HUGE and worked perfectly.

Very cool, I have a mid 60's Lord Mercury and Mercury Hunter.  Sold new to my father inlaw as a pair.  Congrats on the kill.
