Good looking bows and like the B&W photography, sharp contrast.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

Thanks for the comments...

Night Wings, the broadhead is a french Cledecoche, designed by Jean-Marie Coche, a bowyer and teacher for instinctive shooting; it's close in it's design to Hill's broadheads.

All, the pictures are taken with a Rolleiflex medium format camera built between 1939 and 1943. I only use mecanical analog cameras and B&W film (here, Ilford's PAN-F+ 50 iso for the Lynx and Fuji's Acros 100 iso for the others).
