Title: First Traditional Bow Kill
Post by: Lupe on November 12, 2012, 09:06:00 PM

Hello fellow traditional bow hunters my name is Adam and I am 17.  On October 7th I killed my first traditional deer with my Black Swamp longbow and a wooden arrow. I just wanted to thank the whole Trad Gang community for all the help. (Sending books, giving me tips, and telling me your stories.)  I would also like to thank AlNatural. He got me started onto the traditional archery path by lending me countless bows and arrows and even giving me the Black Swamp bow as an early graduation present.  Without his help I wouldn't have taken this deer.  Thanks again for all the help. Enjoy.

Adam.  Good job.  You are off to a great start.
Joe
PS. I can still easily remember every detail of my first trad deer. A 58# big horn recure, ceder arrow dipped in white with 3 5" feathers and a zwicky broad head. I can see the arrow arcing through the air, hitting  the deer, the deer running and the sound of her crashing to the ground and me wondering what that sound was. It was 21 seasons ago...
