Got a doe! Pics added on page 3

[chris K.]

I shot a doe this morning at 9am. She was farther than I would generally think of shooting, matter of fact if I would of knew the exact yardage before the shot I doubt that I would of shot her but I did use a rangefinder after recovery(I use mine as a monocular) to range my tree and were the deer was standing at the shot. Lets just say it was far enough that the arrow seemed to take 2 minutes to get there. Caught her behind the shoulder and heard her crash about 10 seconds later. It was way to cool!
I was using my Dan Toelke 52 inch recurve that is 50@28 and a 29 3/4 beman mfx 500 with a 100 grain brass insert and 125 grain thunderhead. The tip reached the other side but not really sticking out the other side.
I will see if one of my buddies will post pictures for me later.

Nice job. Sounds like some good eat'n!  

[chris K.]

Thanks, really this is my first deer I have killed with a recurve. I have missed a couple and I wounded one that I later shot during shotgun season. If you saw were I hit her you would of thought that I have done it thousands of times. I guess though this year I have shot alot in my yard. Thank god for those G5 small game heads, I do not think that I would of been able to make the shot if I wouldn't of shot leaves and dandolions in the yard for hours on end!

Congrats on your deer.

It`s great to read about all the hours of practice. That dedication is what makes it all so special. It`s what makes you a BOWHUNTER!

Hard earned venisen is always the best.

A well deserved trophy, and hopefully just one of many, many more to come.

Again...congratulations.
