Well .... after having totaled out two recurves in three weeks I am back to the longbow ;D The Mamba split the bottom limb as I was drawing on a deer last week and it is going back to Martin for a potential repair. So we will see what happens from here  Wish me luck  |

Well my first Longbow deer ended in tragedy  We got it all on film and it was just nuts!...three shots before I got her ;D The first shot took a hand full of hair off the chest and I mean a hand full  we were able to call her back in with a primos bleat can and the second shot found my upper limb battling with a tree limb  Needless to say , that arrow went well over her back  Once again we were able to draw her back with the can and now she had me at full draw for near a minute. 54# in 60 seconds hurts you and somehow I hit her three or four inches back and caught some gut  We waited an hour and checked for blood which there was plenty of but still....being that I hit the stomach we decided to back out and wait till morning when I could come back with the dog. Next morning my dog found what was left....only 100 yards from where we stopped the night before  The Yotes found here and had a good meal , leaving not even a bite behind for my poor pup Well , that was the first deer I ever lost to yotes so I guess I am still doing better than some  I will continue for the rest of the year with the longbow so I will have more chances anyway .... I hope |
