Trade bow success / first trad deer!
« on: November 03, 2012, 07:52:00 PM »
After 4 years of trying I finally succeeded today on this 8 point, and I couldn't be happier. I have had some close calls, and 2 misses, but I was finally able to get one close enough and pick a spot. I got this bow from Matt Wirwicki in this years bow swap and it did an amazing job. I was almost equally impressed with the job that the 160 grain snuffers did. I got a pass through at  about 18 yards breaking at least one rib on the way through. The buck ran about 40 yards and was dead within 10 sec. of the shot.  Thanks for looking and good luck to everyone else this year.

Sinew backed Osage orange
55# @ 27"

An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great.
