My first with a longbow and I'm hooked!

[briarsdad]

To make a very long story short thursday morning I finally made it happen, right after I missed the biggest buck I have ever let an arrow fly at but I'm not gonna talk about that one. I shot this deer with my 40# Black Widow longbow at 17 yards. The Razorhawk broadhead from Red Feather Archery hit in front of the right shoulder and lodged in the opposite shoulder taking his front end out and killing this deer in less than a minute. I was able to watch him go down from the tree. I can't describe the feeling when I saw him go down quickly and in sight of my tree. My buddy was hunting across the creek about 150 yards away and he heard the deer crash. He sent me a text asking what the noise was and all I could reply with was "I got him" He called me shortly after and I was so tore up I couldn't even talk I had to hang up and sit for awhile before I fell out of the tree. He is the smallest buck I have killed in several years but I am more proud of him than any deer I have ever killed!

Thank you to Stan Mercer from Red Feather Archery.
Stan thanks again for the congrats today and for sending me the 150 Gr Razorhawk's. They flat out killed this deer quick and clean just like I knew they would if I could ever connect. I look forward to trying them again on a doe later this year.

Thanks for all the kind words. I really like this site and all the people on here. I have been back and fourth between trad gear and compounds for several years but I don't see myself going back anytime soon. This longbow has me addicted and I can't put it down!
