Title: Longbow Buck- Happy Thanks Giving!
Post by: jwhitetail on November 26, 2015, 12:04:00 PM
I am feeling very thankful indeed... managed to kill this buck with a JD Berry Heritage, 12 yards from my stand. Arrow was POC with a 125 grain Grizzly single bevel - pass through. I had some really tough moments because I hit him a just a little behind what I wanted and he ran down into the draw without much of a blood trail... single drops.  But we found him stone dead - he had run a hundred yards and collapsed probably inside of a within a minute.  Later I discovered the arrow punctured both lungs near the back. What a relief to see him laying there in the brush!  A real Thanksgiving for me and A happy Thanksgiving to you all!

Congratulations!....and thank you!

You took the pressure off of me.

I was doing everything within my power to be the 1st to fill a deer tag with my JD Berry "Heritage Lady".

Kudos!!

God bless,Mudd

Congrats!! & way to get it done with the "Heritage".  Can't wait to get mine & learn to shoot a shelf-less ASL.  It'll be a new challenge.

Thanks All,  Mudd - Centaur has us both beat with a first kill for the Heritage, CheneryIV - you will be shooting lights out within minutes... very little difference between shelf-less and shelf its amazing.
I am very proud of this buck as it is the culmination of several years of near misses,"hard Lessons" and hours of homework on this spot... last night it paid off.  

I will all of you success and best wishes for the rest of the season... Traditional archery has truly become a way of life for which I am grateful.  Happy Holidays all.

A nice whitetail taken with a really cool bow. Us Heritage guys are shooting a bow reeks of tradition, and is a pure pleasure to shoot.

Crispin, you will be amazed at the lack of learning curve shooting this shelfless stick when yours arrives. Fun with a capital F.

Not that there's anything wrong with a Thanksgiving turkey on the table, but venison can be even better. Congratulations!
