first deer with a recurve!
« on: October 19, 2014, 08:50:00 AM »


A tender button buck.  I made a 3 yd shot with my Sammick Sage 55lb recurve.  Easton Powerflight .340 with 100gr brass insert.  125gr. grizzly head with 125gr. steel insert for a total 350 grains up front.  It is amazing how quiet these bows are! He only walked about 20 yards before piling up.

I think a sage is a great bow!
