My first tradition kill back in 1992 I think it was.23-step shot from the ground on A 240# Black Bear with a 50#@27" Ben Pearson recurve and a 2 blade Zwickey! Watched the Bear fall 15-yrds away! What a rush!!!!!!!!!

Pretty good size Alaskan bull moose.  Slightly quartering away and a bit back.  Broadhead protruded out the other side, but arrow stayed in him.  20 yards,4-blade Zwickey, 66# Robertson longbow and 725 grain ash arrow.  My hunting partner got a complete passthrough on another bull about the same size on the same trip.  Broadside.  Ten yards, two blade Zwickey, 700 plus grain cedar shaft, 70# glass laminated longbow of our making.  Arrow sailed through the moose and went on down the river.  Never did find it.

A bull blue whale in the Sea of Cortez. Used a 50# osage selfbow and a river cane arrow tipped with an obsidian head. Tracked him for 20 miles before he gave up the ghost. Tasted like chicken.
