Congrats, Steve. Nice job on the bow and doe. I was fortunate enough to take a doe with a recurve I just made so I know the feeling of accomplishment.   :thumbsup:

Hey I grew up on staten Island, I dont remember any deer running around.  Actually My mother sends me articles from the advance every once in a while showing me how since I moved to CO. the deer have been mysteriously showing up.  Hey good to see a tradganger in the Big City....
Congrats to you...

Thanks everybody. It was a real thrill for me. I hunt in New Jersey. The arrow was a gold tip 55/75 with 100 grain brass insert with a Wensel woodsman about 575 grains. Had a complete pass thru. I really like these wensels.
