Northern Mist to the core. Archery is meant to be simple. A stick, a string, a shaft and meat on the table.

Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

What is your backup plan rat? I know you can shoot them pretty Centaurs, but I'm wondering if that Pouland is your plan B for the brushy river bottoms?

I haven't decided on my deer bow yet, I'm thinking my 60# osage selfbow if I can get it tuned back in. I'll have a month with my new fir arrows to tune after I get back from antelope next week.

If the deer cooperate I'll use both.  Starting with a longbow though.
