Good deal, I hope sometime during this coming season, I can make a post about my first trad kill.

Well, you all want the story! Well it started 37yrs ago, my brother and I started bow hunting with a 45# Ben Person that we knew nothing about, we didn't even have a knocking point. In those days very few bow hunted and I had no success, and then I got my first wheeled bow. And over the yrs I was very successful. Then 3yrs ago my brother and I met for a late season bow hunt and he pulled out a Bear recurve and ask if I wanted to shoot. Well it took off from there. I sold my wheels and went Trad only,. Bow hunting and shooting became fun again. The first bow I got was a Bear recurve and then a lost ck long, all the time my brother was helping me and then the bow in  the pic is a 56" Lost Ck 50# @ 28". I shoot 3555GT w/200gr Eclipse. I was on my way to my stand when I seen this deer and I decided to take her, she was quartering away about 22yds and I hit a little low, she went about 60yrds and layed down.I backed out and waited 1-hr and then went after her. When I got there she had moved over the hill and stood up I took 2nd shot, again about 22yr broad side and did a past through, I watch her go down. I've took many bucks with bow and gun but this has to be the most gratifying. I've recently purchased a new bow. I'll try and post pics later
