This is a sad day for me, I take Miss Hope to the post office to pass her on to Drew and my 4 day whitetail adventure here in Montana with some great hunting buddies comes to an end (I named this the "Big Sky Hope Fest"). Joining me on this hunt was a fellow Tradganger from Georgia Matt Schuster, a Montana buddy Pat and his 13yr old son Luke and last but not least my 12yr old son Tanner.
The bow performed great, it’s very similar to the bow I shoot so the transition was very simple and quick for me. The arrows I used were arrows I picked-up on the Tradgang classified from indianalongbowshooter for my son. My son shot Miss Hope some but he didn’t feel comfortable hunting with it without more practice.
In total Miss Hope made meat on 3 occasions all of which were whitetail does. I did m-mi-miss a mule deer doe but that was not the fault of Miss Hope, this miss was operator airier (the fletching on one of my arrows had torn and was flapping in the wind which was like shooting a very slow, out of control flu-flu). Needles to say the arrow fell 10yrds short on a 20yrd shot.
2 of the 3 whitetail does were taken by myself and 1 doe was taken at the hands Matt Schuster. Matt has plans of writing a story about this hunt so I don’t plan on getting to adventuresome with my story telling but I will add a few pictures soon.
Thanks again to everyone involved with this bow project,
Brian Roness
