My Dryad bow blank came through for me! With pic now
« on: November 22, 2010, 07:54:00 PM »
For my first traditional kill...It has taken me 5 years to get my first. Last summer, I finally sold all my other archery gear, making me have to hunt solely with trad stuff and it paid off Oct. 26. I was hoping for a shot at a nice 10 pt that was hanging around my stand for about 20 minutes that would not give me a good shot at my under 20 yard range. Man, he came close a couple of times but just would not give me a clear shot at the ol-boiler room. After walking away from me, I caught some movement slightly off to my left and another deer was walking into my shooting lane.  It was getting dark but I decided to take my shot since it came into less than 12 yards from me and I made a great hit!  It all happened so fast that I hardly remember hitting anchor.  My arrow found nothing but heart! It was a button buck (delicious), a trophy all the same to me. The satisfaction of taking game with a bow that I have worked on is priceless.
 Thanks to Mike and Jason for putting a bow blank out there that is the best shooting bow that I have owned to date. Now it is time to give my selfbows a try with my rivercane arras!!!

Congrats!! It must be great to have worked the bow yourself.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
