Great Job, DP!  Congratulations!   :clapper:    Did you get an exit with that Snuffer?

yeah i did. i did not take a picture though. it went through her opposite leg bone. when we skinned her, it looked like i had shot her with a gun. her opposite side was torn up. i had a great blood trailtoo.

oh sorry, bow and equipment is my signature.  total arrow weight is  520 ish grains. shot her at about 6 steps broadside : ).  she was the second doe i had seen. the first one busted me when i moved too quick. i shot her in hall county, GA.  she only made it about 50 yards. i passed on her last weekend because i have pictures of a real monster on the property i am hunting.  i was kicking myself all week for passing on her and this time when she came through, i busted her.  it was awesome. there is so much more of a sense of accomplishment with a recurve than with a gun.  all the work and practice finally paid off. i am PUMPED!!! and ready to do it again.

First of all congrats!!! Secondly, you are now stricken with stick bow sickness and the only cure is shooting more deer,LOL! I also use Snuffers and love the huge holes they make. Great job!
Just one more step please!
