practice pays off in Wisconsin
« on: October 27, 2009, 07:43:00 PM »
It is Saturday afternoon I find my self as a stander on a small bow drive made up of family members, when I hear a driver ( nephew ) yell watch up in front -- within seconds I see a decent 7 point buck with very white horns running towards my direction -- I ready for the shot and deliver a perfect strike ( double lungs) at approximately 20 yards. the Gold tip 5575 and Magnus 2 blade did its work and we found the buck easily within 100 yards. The great feeling our group had will be remembered for a long time. I am struggling with Pictures Ken if you read this please add the picture I sent you . Oh yeah the Whippenstick Firestorm at 52#'s worked awesome with a complete pass through right on the money!!!Thanks Jerry

WoW!  Great job!  Sounds like lots of fun.  This was a running shot at 20 yards?  Reminds me of "Bowhunting October Whitetails" - makes me wish I was there!
