One down early
« on: October 06, 2013, 11:14:14 pm »
Hey guys! Got this doe saturday morn here in Michigan from an old wood stand behind my house. She stopped at about 18 yards and I let her have it! It was raining and the minute after I shot her it turned into a downpour so there wasn't much blood. But I saw where she headed and was confident she wasn't going far! I was using a little 4 osage selfbow I made this spring. 61" ntn 43#@28". The arrow was a birch dowel with a stohs 160 grain head. It almost got a pass through but it hung up on the feathers. I was pleased and relieved to fill the freezer back up and now I can concentrate on a turkey and a buck!

  The crease behind the front leg is my # 1 broad side shot. The crease gives you a focale point.

  Paas through with a 43 # bow you can't ask for much more than that.

 Amassing what a shape head can do.

Nice job!!  I think I recognize your name from tradgang. Did you post on the target panic/phsycotrigger thread over there? If that was you how is it working out for you. Seems like it must have been working somewhat decent!  :)
