This is my 3rd year using a Traditional Bow. The first year I had 3 shots and 3 misses. Last year I had 4 shots and 3 misses. I smoked a doe at 22yds and could not find her. Blood all over the arrow but she bled very little. Myself and a couple of buddy looked for 2 days trying to find her with no luck.
But this year on opening day in KY I finally got my first confirmed kill. I had 3 target bucks that I was after and 2 more bucks that I told myself if giving the opportunity I would take them. None of my target bucks showed but this 9pt (1 of my opportunity bucks) did. Long story short he gave me a slight quartering to me shot @ 17yds and I smoked him. Heard him crash about 50yds away in the thicket. I couldn't be more excited. I do know that I doubt if I will ever pick up a compound bow in KY again. What a rush it was and I can't wait to add a few more to the freezer this year.
I'm shooting a 60" Zipper SXT 49#@28", 31 1/4" Carbon Express Heritage 250 with a 250gr. Cutthroat. I have switched broadheads to a 190gr. Simmons TreeShark and added 90gr. insert/outsert sleeve.
