First Longbow Buck
« on: November 30, 2009, 01:39:00 AM »
Well,I did it.   :)  After years of shooting a recurve with decent success I developed a terrible case of target panic.  :mad:  To the point where I had all but given up. But thanks to the encouragement of friends,the advice read here,and six monthes of dilligent practice it all came together and I was able to accomplish my ultimate goal. To harvest a deer with my fox longbow.
This oregon blacktail was chasing a doe and gave me a perfect 12 yd. quartering away shot.

Thanks again all. Jim

good one ! No err - really big one !!! Dealing with target panic is terrible; making a good shot is really an accomplishment. The deer couldn't have died a better death.

 Congrats !!    :thumbsup:
