1st Post, 1st Archery Kill
« on: September 22, 2009, 08:29:00 AM »
Hello all,
 I am a new member and this is my first post. I have only been shooting the bow for about two years but practice frequently. Yesterday evening I took my first game with the bow. I killed a beautiful doe at 15 yards on a hardwoods ridge while on the ground. I was using a Martin Bamboo Viper pulling @52lbs. with a cedar arrow and 165 gr. Howard Hill broadhead. Broadside shot and the arrow penetrated up to the fletching peircing thru both lungs. I have a lot more respect for what a bow can do and am truly hooked now.I would have loved to have gotten a photo but I was hunting alone and it was nearing dusk. Look forward to exchanging info and posts with all of you.
