I wasn't very happy with this but took a quick picture anyway.

Once again I went to the woods to hunt for a doe.. A close family friend really likes venison and it is my obligation to get it.

This doe came in and was very edgy.. I felt like she may be difficult to get an arrow in. We've all been there. Sometimes it seems as if these spooky does can out run a .22-250 !

I waited until she was looking the other way and drew the bow.. She was on the edge of my comfort range but I felt very confident that if she would just stand there I could pull it off.  As I released I could see her reacting to the sound but quicker than a blink she was down.. I believe she was whirling away when the arrow took her high and spined her. She was down instantly and I followed with a second shot to finish her. The shaft seen in the picture is the first arrow, it was broken when she fell and lodged in bone..
   She was 18 yards and I used the Sparrowhawk and an Abowyer Antelope broadhead.. I got the head out of the bone in perfect shape, no surprise about that.

Nothing to be unhappy about......I'd like a chance to be unhappy like that!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Those deer are spooky. Only so much you can do. Congrats on another kill with your sparrowhawk. Good thing you don't put a notch on the bow for each kill. It wouldn:t be safe to shoot.

Pat, I did the same thing on a buck Friday of last week, what looked to be an almost broadside shot quickly turned into a quartering towards me spine hit.  I to followed up with another arrow to finish him off but hated the fact that the end was longer than necessary   :(
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Congrats!Dont be ashamed you've done a good job!
An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.
