Here's mine! Warthog taken with my 45# Arvin Weaver selfbow. The PH on this hunt was watching me practicing with this bow and told me he did not think that this bow would have enough penetration to kill a warthog. The warthog had an entry and exit hole with a double lung shot and went about 80yds!

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Bishc, that is a neat looking self bow !

What is the black "ring" in the grip area, is it a two piece ??

Nice warthog too..

Stinger

My first bow kill was a button buck in 1969 with a 50# at 28" Shakespeare Necheda (still have it).  The only picture I have is a faded Polaroid.


I shot this one 3 years ago with a bow that my father made for me some 35+ years ago.  It is 44# at my 27" draw.  2016 arrows with 125gr 2-blade Stinger and 70gr weights



Shot this one last year with my RER 44# at 27".  2016 arrows with 2-blade Stinger



Shot this one this year with my 44# at 27" Leon Stewart Slammer and CE 150 with 2-blade Stinger and 50gr insert
