Thunderchild strikes again
« on: October 15, 2011, 12:17:00 PM »
Set up a stand last night in a heavily used area. Although we thought it was well concealed, it didn't take long for two does to bust me at first light, so when the next doe came in, I sloowwllyy stood up, and even then, she noticed the movement, but stuck around a few seconds too many. Then, the bottom limb of my bow whacked the floor of the stand on the shot, so instead of a perfect double lung, I watched as the arrow passed through in the hams, but the spurting blood told me that I luckily had caught the femoral artery. A wild run ended in less than 100 yards. Now I can concentrate on a nice buck!

Congrats   :)  

I hope your TC bottom limb is ok, scary when something like that happens.

James,
TC is 56", 55@ 28", using cedar arrows and STOS broad head. It is one sweet looking, sweet shooting bow.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs
