Got the Wesley Special today.....it's like new. I twisted up a string shot it a few time even as cold as it is. Neat bow, can't wait to take it stump'n.

His body was huge with a very long neck. 200# dressed. Probably 5 1/2 yrs. I was more than a little excited but mainly because I had a good double lung hit. The size of the buck was great but I was just in the right place at the right time. I stretched about a minute earlier had that been a minute later bye bye big one. When you make a good shot you celebrate no matter the size. I've had enough that have gone the other way. But for now...Yahoo!!

So Bruce ... I guess you just could not hold out for a big one eh?    :thumbsup:   Good grief man that is one hoss of a deer!!  Great job buddy.  I am guessing your ash shaft from the NM bow never even slowed down going through that huge old deer.

Well done buddy!   :archer:

Bob actually 12" of the arrow was showing which concerned me that I might have hit him too high. I have a sneaking suspicion that I may have grazed some brush. but it all worked out this time.

I was reading a magazine article by Bob Wesley.  He was talking about proper alignment, and said that the string should contact your eyebrow or glasses. I've started doing this and my shooting has improved tremendously!

How many of you fellows do this?

Blaino - I just switched to doing that myself and I've found it has greatly increased my back tension and (as a result) made for a cleaner release, better alignment and improved accuracy.

I also use the string touching my eyebrow as my 'psycho-trigger' for the shot sequence Joel Turner advocates and it works extremely well.

Mudd,
I'm waiting on a Vixen.  I am very interested to hear how you like your Northstar, and how it compared to your Morning Star!
