Friend · July 31, 2020, 01:29:11 PM

Am very much hoping to add to this great thread.

This will be my first season to hunt with a 45# bow since the early 70's.

Nice buck there

Guided a gentleman yesterday shooting a 42 @ 25 Thunderchild with an arrow tip with a 2 1/16' wide Treeshark...he draws 25"s...

The shot was taken on the deer at 16 yards...complete pass thru...deer traveled less than 25 yards and expired...entrance cut was 4 1/4 inches while the exit cut was 2 1/2"s(used a tape measure)....typical Simmon's Treeshark carnage....

Was blessed with this early season doe yesterday evening. Shot was 10 yds broadside. Bow was a Widow PCH 40#@27". I used a pretty heavy arrow--- black eagle instinct, 100 gr outsert, 175 gr Zwickey Eskimo for a total of 550grs. I found the arrow about 50 yds into the trail. Two holes. Im holding up my finger as this was my second day hunting w a recurve and my first deer taken w a recurve--- ive always been a longbow guy, but am liking the mass weight of the Widow.

Thanks guys, and sorry but no, I do not know the age.
The bow I built from materials I won in one of Kenny Mckenzie's drawings, except riser which was leftover pieces I had. Built quiver top, string, & silencers. Ace broadheads were won in a door prize at KTBA, so the buck was only a bonus!

Nice job Tony.
