well finally broke the ice with trad equipment!

right at dark this deer came down following a small creek i was hunting,at one time he was on the edge of the creek 20 yds but he was following the creek and would be closer if i waited,so at 15 yds he was quartering to me i drew my shafer and bleated him to a stop and made the shot!

he dropped in his tracks and i put a follow up arrow in him the shot was good maybe 2" off the the right but i am a happy camper    

bow is 52@27"58" shafer recurve shooting cx 150's and two blade broadheads

Congrats  

Way to go Ralph! I'm real happy for ya. I'll be back out there this week trying to accomplish the same. That's a fine looking bow too!          

 Nice shooting

Good deal Ralph!    

Great pics!

Congrats!!!  I know what you mean by "gnat capital of south"...I lived in Leesburg for a couple of years right next to the Kinchafoonee Creek...(sp.?)...anyway, when you find yourself swatting at gnats and there's none around when you go in the house or in the car, you know you're becoming at one with the natives there.  I don't see how you can focus long enough to get a good shot.

good going Ralph!  

Good shooting and congrats!!!
