First kill with longbow, and I think I'm ready...

Yesterday I killed a chipmunk at around 10-12 yards with my longbow that I got this summer. I don't have pictures, it was more of an attention getter     ;)     .

Today I shot my four hunting arrows, two with Bear Razorheads, and two with Zwickey Eskimos.
These shots were at around 20 yards out of the 55# Bear Montana, which is a great bow, rugged and a great shooter. I didn't want to shoot the deer cause I was worried the BH's would get stuck, but I can hit the deer in the lungs pretty regularly(On good days, or until I get tired and my form gets sloppy). I was pretty happy with these shots, but they could always be better.

   

But I owe all of it to you guys and gals here on the gang, and my parents and friends. Without you guys I would not be here where I am now, with all of your advice and encouragement.

I think I'm ready for bow season, and I have a feeling it's going to be the best one yet. I love watchin' those arrows fly!

Nice bow, good shooting, and good luck. You're ready. Deal with the shakes and butterflies after you watch the arrow pass through that deer.

go get 'em Zack!!! Your shooting is fine, just remember to focus on one lil spot on game-burn a hole concentrating to look at it... I've just looked at deer as whole and watched that arrow sail right over the back... but thats a lesson you learn not to do 3x in a season...
Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.
