I can't type the whole story now, will do that later....but my last deer (also my first deer) was shot around this time October 2001, it was a large doe taken with an osage self-recurve. I have had several near misses/close encounters including missing a pope and younger 2 years ago.
I january this year I set my mind to drastically improving my accuracy and also bought a custom recurve made by a friend and hunting partner, Mark Malkowski. I posted several videos of my form on the shooting page and you tube....and worked on it as much as I could all winter spring and summer. mostly shooting at night from my driveway into my garage at 15 and 20 yards (25 yards would put me in the middle of the street).
well. In guess it paid off
7:10 this morning I shot a nice mature doe from a treestand, she was about 10 yards away, but uphill so she was almost parallel with me. double lung and top of the heart.
quick specs....56#@27" 58" takedown recurve "Red Thunder", CX terminator 4560 shafts with 100grn brass insert, 125grn woodsmans with 75grn steel adaptors, and home made lumi-nocks. got a pass through, though it hung by the fletching end in the exit for a few feet. she went about 70 yards and I watched her pile. Would guess her around 110 or 120 or so....
this is a lowres pic from my cell phone. Mark took a pic with his digital cam and will email them to me tonight.
with this, the Sox 2 up in the world series, the
bruins up 6 wins 3 losses,the Patriots 7-0....I couldn't be any happier!!!!!
