First primitive harvest 7 pt. "lost souls"

(1/3) > >>

straightarrow:
I just started building bows in Dec 2009. Since I was very young I always wanted to build a bow and harvest a deer. Today my dreams were answer. The osage character bow "lost souls" was my first shooter bow. It was named after a close friend that died of cancer and the loss of my unborn child. I finished the bow on the same day these events occured....In fact i finished the bow to keep my mind off things. I choose to hunt with this bow because it was the heaviest bow I made and shot the best. (75#@27").

So there I was.............6:40 p.m.....5 yards broad side.....double lung.....no track

I am sooooooooo happy!!! Not the biggest buck I ever shot but definatly my biggest accomplishment yet.

I'm sorry to hear of the circumstances that named your bow, but congratulations on a great bow, great hunt and great deer.  I suspect that at 5 yards you didn't need quite that much bow weight.  That's code for I wish I could pull that much. :)  Again, great job and you're right, great accomplishment.  You will remember this hunt, I guarantee it.

Congrats, nice bow and nice shot!  I have the same dream as you, but I just built my first longbow and will have to wait until next fall.  I still need a lot of practice.
