Congrats, Are the knapped heads like a single bevel head, and if so did you get an "S" shape through the deer? Great Job!

Wow! Stone points! Very, very impressive. Good looking bow, too. Turned out great, especially being your first try. BTW, what's the draw weight and length of the bow?

Thanks again everyone  the bow was 56 lbs. osage about 64 " long abd yeah I got lucky it came into a nice tiller at about the weight I wanted.
Luck has nothing to do with it, just Boot leather and a GWP.

Very cool, that is something I definitely want to do sometime in the future!!!
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Congratulations on a great hunt! In this age of big antlers and the "me" generation of bowhunters, your story and respect for the hunt and your great deer is remarkable. Nicely done.

Fantastic post. Bravo!!
That is a goal to reach for sure!
Now all I have to do is learn how to make my own bows, arrows, arrow heads and then get them to fly straight... No problem?

Fantastic,great job on the hunt and the video. You should do something with the hide, quiver maybe?? This hunt will stay with you for the rest of your days and that is good!!
