I was thinking Muzzleloaders, too.  Very talented work.  Looks like a mid 40# bow can kill a deer as well as anything else.  Great job!

Oh, heck yea! a 47# bow can kill a deer,when I retrieved my arrow, it was stickin' in the mud on the other side of where the buck was standin', a complete pass through!

Oldbow, I might try BOM when I finish it,I'll have to do some readin' up on the requirements.

That grip is so cooool!!! I am having trouble just getting the shape of my handle right so I can put elk skin on it. Really a pretty bow.

Like the others have said, congratulations on your bow and deer too!  Probably not too many people can say they took 2 deer (or even 1) with their first bow.  Nice job!

I make many different kinds of turkey calls.
