Homemade Longbow Whitetail
« on: November 17, 2011, 07:09:32 AM »
I had a pretty good story written before the server crash.  I'll abbreviate that, but I still wanted to share some pics since I am still smiling ear-to-ear about the buck I shot with my homemade longbow.

I made a good shot at 25 yards on the second to the last day of an 8 day hunt in Kansas.  My 58# longbow drove a 591 grain cedar arrow with an Ace 2 blade broadhead through ribs on both sides and lungs on the way through to burying in the dirt on the other side.

The taxidermist I had cape him to meet WA's CWD importing rules said he was 5.5 years old and scored 155-3/8".

The view from one of my stands:


The arrow as I found it:


The buck as he laid:


One happy hunter:


And the best is to get to share it with a great friend:

Yeah, I made the bow myself as well as the arrows, too.

Thanks all for sharing in my excitement!
