Title: Whitewoodshunter bow scores!
Post by: hawkbow on April 05, 2009, 11:48:49 pm

My family and I went up into Montana today to do some arrow slinging... this young bunny fell prey to the bow made for me by Whitewoodshunter, first blood on this bow and a really good time shooting bows with my family. We enjoy these family outings, I would encourage my fellow brothers and sisters of the bow to take your families along, to teach our young ones the gift of an honorable hunt and enjoy the wild paces is truly a gift I cherish.  ;D ;D   hope you all enjoy the pics. Hawk a/ho

I am so glad you live so close to Montana so you can bunny hunt year round.  I would really miss the pic this summer.  It'll be Nov. before I can fling an arrow at bunny.  But, turkey season starts in a couple weeks.  I doubt that I will have my hickory bow finished by then.  I do plan to use archery equipment for most of my hunts, even it it does have training wheels.  :)

Looks  like  your  using  blunts,  what's  the  effect, I  tend  to  think  blunts frequently wound  and  don't kill well/fast and  a  lot  of rabbits

I shoot a heavy bow.. sisty five pounds.. at 28 and use 44 mag shell casings... wrap sinew on the shaft so shells will fit tight.. add pine pitch or ferrile tite.. and you have a heavy weight forward bunny slayer.. they rarely ever get away.. the shock of the arrow kills quickly.. Hawk

Looks like a great time Mike. I've built my family bows and arrows and we shoot and hunt together too,even if they are already married and gone from home. Good huntin', and God Bless

looks like it was one hell of a good time
like you,i too get to bow hunt with the family,well most of it.
my oldest son never got into it.
but my wife and youngest have come bowhunting,with wheelie bows in the past.
i have a bow planned out to make for the wife this winter,and when both my sons are out of the NAVY i will have a bow or two for each of them.
whether or not they will decide to hunt with me,up to them but i hope they do.

keep up the good family times,kids grow up too damn fast to say "i wish we would have done ...... when they were still young"

i am jealous my friend. im trying to get my sister into archery but she isnt the same as me. dont see the world the same way. my dad is an exelent hunter, but he is a rigger and has been on 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, with one weekend per month off for the last year. he dosnt have time to get into something that eats up time like this dose. i do, however, have a really good friend, who i see as a brother, who enjoys the hunt the way i do......though he lacks the skill i have.  ;D

looks like a great time afield. congrats man.  ;D

That looks like a great time,  It is so nice to have all of the family involved in such a great pursuit.
