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:

Awesome shot and deer. Did you make the bow yourself? Arrows? Great story, thanks.Yeah, I made the bow myself as well as the arrows, too.

Congratulations on the tremendous accomplishment. Be honest now, Todd; that feels almost as good as the 'first time' doesn't it?!
Better man--better. Especially now that I know the "first one" was the same as the last one.
