I posted a story back on Christmas day about a gentleman from Trad Gang named Billy Shipp.  Take a moment to read the link and this will all make sense.

Overview:   My son and I received a Super Shrew Limited bow and matching knife at 5:00 pm on Christmas Eve.  It was an incredible "gift" from my good friend, met here on the Trad Gang, Billy Shipp.  

I decided to hunt with the bow throughout our late Pennsylvania season hoping to fill either my buck tag or a doe tag.  As fate would have it, Friday evening everything came together.

I had passed up a group of 9 does and yearlings early on.  With 30 minutes left of day light another group of 7 swung wide past me with a small buck following the group.  They all moved out to the corn field.  At last light a straggler came through.  With my opportunity of a buck fading I decided to take the 20 yard shot at what I assumed was a lone doe I had seen several times.  My shot was true and a 30 yard recovery made for a great evening.  As you can see my doe ended up being a rather nice buttom buck.  What an ending to another great season!

Thank you again to our friend Billy, what an incredible gift for my son and I.

Billy,

Tim Jr. is going to be 17 years old in a few weeks.  You remember that age, perfume and gasoline!  Usually when I see him I introduce myself....hoping he gets the hint that I'd like to see him around more often.

As for the bow and passing it down....let's not give him any ideas!      

I've got a few good photos but I picked this one because I still "kind of" look about the same size as him.     :(
