Buckskinner:
Nice work, congrats!  That is a great accomplishment to kill a buck or any deer for that matter with literal stick and string that you created.

Pappy:

You’re shooting that kind of weight with a 43 pound bow only drawing 25 inches and made an awesome kill… that’s some inspiration for me. I like heavy arrows out of a light bow because the bows easier to hold and the heavy arrow light bow combo makes my gaps smaller when aiming. I was a little worried with my setup that I wasn’t going to get as much speed as I should but I’m going to stop worrying. Great hunt. I use shoot arrows too.

Black Moshannon:
Also could you give specs on bow? I’m curious

60" overall bow length
1.5" wide tapering to 1/2" tips 8" from each end
Handle is narrowed slightly down to 1.25"
Set is 1.25"

My arrows are 30" long.

I was worried about speed too at first. But after practicing with the heavy arrows, I felt they were plenty fast for shots 15 yards and under. 

Glad I could inspire you.  It seems like everyone is always hunting with heavier bows made of Osage, which I totally get.  But, it was nice to show off success with such a common wood like red oak at such a light draw weight.
