Shot this doe a few days back....my first with a recurve.
Watched these 10 deer for a half hour or so, and they eventually went out of sight straight away from me....
I was confused, because i had a good bead on where they were feeding, and was set up on a good trail 200 yards back off the food source.
So after they vanished, i waited a bit, and started to prepare to leave. With bow on the ground and in the process of undoing my harness i look over my shoulder, and here they come(fast)!
Now they are not wasting any time. I go for broke, pull up my bow, slip on my tab and nock an arrow without a hitch, and somehow go undetected..... By then the lead doe is in my lane 12 yards away..
I shoot, and think ive missed. She walks 25 yards and goes down.
i am so very thankful.

Well done. Heavy arrow, works every time!
It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

 That is  catchy and congrats on the deer! Light bow weight,heavy arrow is a deadly combo and will keep most us in the field for along time

I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.
