FYI the anniversary of Chis' passing is approaching. I pray those using the bow can harvest any and all game that comes into view.

What a neat gesture. What a great place Trad Gang is.

Looking forward to seeing her at the mailbox!  My bow season starts back up on the 19th and I will be out with her as much as I can.

[katie]

Got her in the mail today.  Plan to head out now and dial her in.  Our gun season takes a break today for 2 days.  Hope to get out after some small game with this bow.  Then on the 19th she will be after some whitetail!
Thanks for the opportunity!

What an amaizing thing to do for a fellow Tradganger. Being fairly new to the site I cannot say I knew Chris but can tell from posts that he was an amaizing person. Brian is also an amaizing person for doing this. This is why I stay on this site for hours a day, great people doing things and helping total strangers that many others would not even consider doing for someone they know. My hat is off to all involved with this!!!

[TSchirm]

Awesome gesture!!!

Took her out tonight. Was looking for a coon but had a shot at a bobcat. He came in running at 10 yards right at dark.  Took the shot and thought I got him. Went out into the field with the light and found only tracks, no blood. Wish I had pulled it off. But man was that cool. First time I have had a shot at a cat. Man they move quick!
Nice bow. She grouped great for me right from the start. Had I not had her I would not of been in the field tonight to see the cat. So a big thanks to Bell007!

Awesome, hope that is a sign of things to come. And the rascals are fast, dodged my rental car at 75 in Colorado last year.

[Bel007]

Sweet !!    

Go get 'em Katie.  Looking forward to reading more adventures.

[wbyrd]

Hey do you think we can have the folks that get this bow post up what they're using for arrows? That way the next person on the list will have a good idea of where to start.

[Bel007]

Great idea Wade.

I was flinging 2018s w 160gr points and she liked them fine.  Also used AD Hammer Heads Lites w 175gr points.

Katie, what you launching?

[katie]

1716 with 200 grain Woodsman up front!  Now I have one stuck 20' up a hickory:)  Shoots great!

Yep. One last hunt tonight and she is off in the morning.  Have had a blast with her.  Will not forget her for sure.  Why?  The tip went through my eyelid last night.  Was helping the hubby drag a buck and he was holding the bow in his hand.  I have now learned never to walk behind a man with a bow in the woods;)  Could not hunt this morning cause the eye was swelled shut.  Probably should not even admit to this story:)  The poor guy is devistated.  On the plus side I had fifty deer pass just out of range last night.  Took a small buck with my trad rifle due to him having been shot in both front legs.  Very sad!
