First TD recurve built & first trad bow deer.

[Blue EagleBum]

Finished my first TD recurve on 11-01-2011.
58", Hard rock Maple limbs w/ bubinga riser.
51# @ 28"  
Will post better pics later, all I have now is a couple pics of my first deer, a nice doe, my first Trad Bow kill, on 11-11-2011.
It was an unbelievable experience, a huge rush of adrenaline, finally one of my dreams come true. To take a deer with a bow I made.
Thanks to many of you here along the way to this momentus occasion, and God Bless.

 

 

My little helper. He helped me skin her, with his table/butter knife.

Way to go!! Nothin better than taking one with a bow you made!!        

Your helper is impressed with ol Dad too! Good pic there!

Great job it is so great to doing that, I did not think hunting could get better, until this year when I took my first trad animal. It too was with a bow I made myself.

It is a great feeling is it not.

Congratulations on a fine doe.

Best doe ya' ever killed I bet? Good job on getting the first one of the press to stay together.

Thanks, again fellas. Yes Pearl Drums, it was the best doe, best deer for that matter, I have ever taken. Definitely a great feeling KellyG. And my helper, Brycen (6)and his older brother, Tyler (11), have been regulars at the meat shop since they were born basically.
