Years ago on my 18th b-day I shot a cow 55yrds, took the top of her heart off. I've knocked quite a few arrows at 20-30yrds. But Robbin Hooded and arrow while practicing in the back yard 50yrds. I'd rather be LUCKY than GOOD any day...  :tup:

Any shot that brings down an animal, or bird, in the shortest amount of time, as far as I am concerned, is a damn good shot.  The less you have to wak to recover your harvest the better.  I mean, after all, isn't there an energy crisis going on?

Posted in first deer in Washington thread about buying bow at yard sale and teaching self to hunt. Well that was luckiest shot I've made. Had read every published article about shot placement, kill zone, ethical shot, ect. Well all that went out window. Saw first deer (BT doe) looking at me over a brush pile at about 30 yrds. All o could see was head and neck. Flung first 3 arrows into the brush pile in about 5 seconds. As she turned to walk away (sure she was laughing)  last arrow cleared brush and caught her right under neck. Severed carotid and stuck in chin. Went about 3 leaps and down. Looked like someone had poured 5 gal. bucket of blood on ground. Didn't stop me from nearly severing head to bleed as all the articles I read said was procedure. Wasn't clean, pretty, or good form, but was first deer I ever harvested. Took 3 years to get next one, but by then had proper equipment and had learned much about sport.
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

I'd rather be hated for what I am then be loved for what I'm not

Is it me, or are people getting dumber

My 1st bow kill was a spike blacktail that was looking at me from between 2 alders. All I could see was his head and top half of his neck. I ranged him at 31 yards and put my 30 yard pin on him and let the arrow fly. I hit him in the eye with the arrow exiting out the opposite ear and sticking in the tree that he was practically leaning against, the arrow basically kept him pinned against the tree, died on his feet. I've learned alot since then and wouldn't take that shot again, doubt I'll ever have an easier tracking job either. :chuckle:
