First Selfbow Kill!
« on: October 12, 2007, 10:22:00 PM »
I made my first selfbow kill recently with a bow and arrow that I made myself...26 yard shot!!!  I cannot imagine how excited I would be if I came home with a deer tomorrow!!

Congratulations, you'll never your first with a selfbow.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.
