Well done sir. Good choice to wait for the close chance. Agree with Doc Nock, they can duck very fast, your first shot was likely on the money. Good Hunting!

Way to go!  There's a level of satisfaction in taking one 'the hard way' that words can't describe.

The 20 yard shot with your compound would have been easy, but the recurve made you a better hunter by waiting for a more certain shot. Both JFK and Tred Barta have talked about doing things because they are hard, not because they are easy. Among the best of us, accomplishing something hard is part of our spirit. Glad to see you are a kindred spirit. Congratulations.    :thumbsup:
