Mike,

Enjoy shooting it while you're still young.  My shoulders ache from shooting my 60", 53#@28" TT.  I have a new set of limbs on order with Brian that will be 62" and 49#@28" on my riser.  Great shooting!

What's really impressive about stories like this is that when the opportunity presents itself, Mike closed the deal. That's TOTAL committment. NOt only do you have to put in the time scouting, hangin stands, etc, you have to be proficient enough to make the shot(s) when you get them.

What Biggie said   :readit:  

You don't get to hold bucks like that without all the prep work AND being able to close it out. WAY TO GO MIKE   :notworthy:

Congrats Mike!

Thanks Biggie- I  struggled with my shooting during high intensity moments last year, so I hope the monkey is off my back now.
Thanks all, it was a very fun wekend.
