Satisfying ending to a successful hunt.Congrats.

I took my first deer with a bow this weekend. My goal was to take a deer this year with a bow I made myself, however my first to attempts broke. Instead I used a Samick Red Stag 50#@28" that was a gift from a very close family friend right before he passed away from cancer. I took her at 38 yards just behind the right front shoulder about 2" above the heart. The arrow penetrated the ribs and shoulder muscle on the far side, but not the hide. She ran about 70 yards. I have taken a lot of deer with a flintlock over th years, including some respectable bucks, but this was my best trophy to date.
JW_Halverson:
Good work!
Pappy:
Nice deer, WOW 38 yards with a stick and string is quite a shot. Congrats. :)

Congratulations, like Pappy said heck of a shot. I'd still be waiting for her to get closer lol. Glad it all came together for you. Good Luck with your bow building you have a very worthy goal.
