What was your first traditional bow harvest?

[Bill Tell]

First living thin I ever shot was a pear in a tree about 30 years ago.  My kid arrow stuck in it and didn't make it all the way through.  I had to wait until the tree dropped it's fruit for me to get my arrow back.  After that it was a frog.

My first was a Bullfrog in an old stock pond with a borrowed Bear Recurve probally 35-40 yrs ago. My how time flies!!!

They are a sucker for the squeaking sound you make kissing into the side of your fist----has worked for 3 so far: only 1 with trad bow though.

One of my aunts tame geese at about 40yds. while it was walking with a twine string and a willow stick. Best shot I have ever made. It was about 45 yrs. ago and boy did I ever get a licking!!! Shot alot of arrows since then but have never made a better shot, killed it DEAD..

I shot a black bird with a youth longbow when I was 6 or 7 years old. Got in a heap of trouble over that little stunt.


First "real" kill was a 90# doe.

[Buckeye Trad Hunter]

My first trad kill was a button buck taken from the ground two years ago.  The shot ended up being about 8 feet.

In 2006 when I was 12 at 19 yards double lung with my Black Widow PRS with Bear Razorheads.

Does a 2x4 stud hiding behind some sheetrock count? Must have peeked out just as my arrow got there.

[Rufus]

A cottontail when I was in the 7th grade with a little wooden bow and an arrow with a point I whittled on it. I was hooked then.

I shot a doe in 1972 with a Bingham recurve that I finished. Still have the bow. Haven't shot it in a long time. Don't have a picture. Gary

[Irish Archer]

My first was a groundhog. More years ago than I can remember.

[sagebrush]

I should have said it was my first traditional big game. I shot a black bird with a fiberglass recurve in 1965. Gary

lets try this again. not my first but my first with my Samick red stag 50@28 purchased from fellow tradganger George D. Stout. shot him underneath one of my grandpas old John Deere B's just before he got into his little hole in the straw bales in the barn.

[Over&Under]

It was a gobbler for me! Sorry for the bad pic   :(

my first was a field mouse 20 years ago this summer. i remember it like it was yesterday. my dad had just finished bush hogging the pasture behind the house, and i could see the mice running everywhere. the final shot was about 5' with an old red fiberglass youth bow.
