I took a fifty five pound paul bunyan that patrick gave me to play around with... Skip and blake had penetrated a hickory pair..... And I hit the middle of the 2 holes, making a complete delete only leaving an oval with the fiber glass bow that Patrick had only loaned me... I should have snagged it!!! It shot rlly well !!!
I was hoping that you would kill something with it.

Arrows were bought individualy out of a bow at the department store. I bought my first box of "Matched" hunting arrows (Hey? They all looked the same) the following year. Bear cedars with brown painted shafts, 2 white hens and a blue cock feather. They were tipped with old green Bear Razorheads. I made my first "traditional" kill, with that bow and those arrows... :archer:
A friend and I were "hunting".... He had a BB gun, and I had my bow. We saw a squirrel, and the stalk was on.....
At about 10 yards (maybe 5?) my friend aimed, and pulled the trigger. At the hit, the squirrel jumped and hopped a few feet. My friend cocked his gun and shot again..... Another hit sent the squirrel scampering for the nearest tree.
He reached the tree and started to climb.... Stopping about 3-4ft up from the base. I drew my bow and released...
THUNK!!! The Razorhead caught him between the shoulders, and pinned him to the tree!!!! :o
Moral of the story...?? Never bring a BB gun to a bow fight :readit:

Many years later I thought with all my hard earned smarts I could tune it good enough to shoot a deer with it but no such luck. It's the only bow I own that has only killed a chicken but it's also the only bow that HAS killed a chicken!

My only kill with my green Jet Bow was a big mistake. My cousin Johnny said "I bet you can't hit that there chicken". I didn't know it was my aunts favorite laying hen.

Sounds like it has the makings of a turkey bow?

My younger brother was shooting it in the backyard one day and missed the target but hit the neighbors above ground pool about halfway up. It took a few days for the neighbor realized what happened. My brother paid dearly w a good whoopin

Look what I found in the garage! A neighbor brought these over one day because they always saw me shooting in the backyard. I thanked them, but didn't think much of them and put them on a shelf in the garage and forgot about them until now. The bottom two bows are both Paul Bunyans - the recurve is 50# and the other one is 55#. The limbs were spray painted brown, but they must have masked off where the name and poundage was printed. The top one has no paint but the logo and info are all but worn off - I've added a pic of what's left and of the handle. I suspect it is a Paul Bunyan also. Not sure what to do with them?
You should absolutely get a fast flight string and shoot that Paul Bunyan recruve! Perfect poundage for hunting. Either that or sell it. If I didn't already have a 40, a 45, 3-50's, and a 55, I would be making you an offer.
