I normally wouldn't post pictures, but this bow deserves the credit it is due.
In late October, I was fortunate enough to get close to a good buck. It was an evening hunt and a cold front had moved in. I settled into a stand on the edge of a cut corn field hoping to catch deer moving into the field to feed on leftovers. I watched the farmer working on his barn 150 yards away and enjoyed the evening chill.
After a good half hour, I grunted a few times in hopes of speeding up the deer movement. Well, it worked and a buck was soon 15yards behind me looking into the field for the intruder. Unable to spot another buck he stood stone still for a full 15 minutes before heading back in the direction he came.
A grunted to my left and he responded and headed in that direction. I needed him to step in front of a deadfall, but of course that wasn't going to happen. He instead went around it and I thought my chances of a shot were gone.
When he stopped, I thought wow! I can see his vitals. Without thinking much more(a good thing for me) I sent an arrow through his heart and off he went.

The doe came this Past Friday. She was well earned. The weather was bitter and I put in my time to fill a second tag. In fact, I think every other buck in the county walked by me over the past month, but the doe wouldnt come close.
I shot her through the heart @23 yards and cleanly broke her opposite leg.

This bow is awesome. These were the 4th and 5th deer I have killed with it in the last 3 years. I could not believe that I broke that does leg that cleanly.
The bow is the Lewis Hollow Hayestani. I am drawing 53@29 and shooting a 30" Carbon Express Heritage 150 loaded with 125 Magnus II and a 100 grain insert. [/IMG]

Incredible deer! Those pics are nicely done, too. I guess that bow is a keeper, eh?

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
