Took over five years and not once did I consider laying the recurve down. Best sport in the world

Thanks Guys

Yea Corey, it was a couple days after Christmas and there was still a couple inches on the ground in North Alabama. Def makes a great story though. Ha I'm sure a couple inches will turn into a blizzard the more I tell it.

Wooddamon1, it's a Wing "Thunderbird" Late sixties to early seventies. Shoots extremely smooth. My grandad gave it to me.

Details of the hunt: It was around 4:30 in the evening. Doe is coming down the mountain to the bottoms. Walks broadside 20-25 yards in front of stand, and the next thing I knew I was shaking like  crazy and couldn't believe what had happened. Hit her just a lil high and back, but the blood trail was a breeze in the snow.

Great job! Congratulations. I love those Wing Thunderbirds. I have an AMF era, 50# that my 13 yr. old son has now claimed as "his". Oh well, maybe I'll get it back when he outgrows it.

Five years worth of dedication comes down to only a few seconds!

It is all worth it. In a crowd of people, chances are, YOU are the ONLY one who knows that kind of PRIMAL satisfaction.

Excellent pictures...grandad is all smiles.
