By far the best thread I ever started! Unfortunately, I never got to fulfill my dream of taking an animal with my bows but, such is life. Thank you all for sharing your trophies!

I'll peak back at the end of this season to see some new stuff!   :bigsmyl:

This is an excellent thread.

It has boosted my confidence in my little #45.

Thank you all for posting  great pix.

For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people's sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

I hope to add my pictures to this thread this fall.  I've only killed at 50lbs with a longbow and a recurve...Decided to start over and rebuild my shooting foundation this last year and got myself a 40lb longbow.  The model I got is only 3fps slower than my 50lb longbow shooting the same arrows, and I had no problem blowing through deer...I can't see 3fps having any change on that.

4 years ago I built my own bow with the help of a buddy. I call it "Pac-a-Whallop" It is 44#.

3 years ago I shot a small doe with my bow.  Wood arrows & 165gr Ace Express.  20 yard shot and the arrow came out the offside by about 12".  40 yard recovery.



Last year I got this 8 point with the same bow.  20 yard shot.  Same wood arrow/broadhead combo as with the doe.  100 yard recovery.  The arrow passed through but did not fall out until he fell. The arrow was beside the deer where he fell & was good to hunt with again after washing it off & sharpening.

An old hand me down recurve sparked the fire, Trad Gang fanned the flames.  There is no stopping now.  Burn baby burn!

Good for you Pac.   :thumbsup:   I imagine there's nothing quite like taking a game animal with a bow you built yourself. Would love to make one myself but facilities are limited.

Two pigs from this past year at Wild Things. 45# Bear Kodiak. Boar was a pass through and and the sow had the arrow sticking out both sides.

Proud Dad to two awesome Kids and a very passionate pig hunter.

I'll have to agree with you on that. A beauty. Did you get it scored?

He's right at 160". 13 points, but he doesn't have a lot of length up front...not that I cared! He's a gladiator...cataract over his left eye.
Here's the thread with details and more pics:

I love this thread as a 40-45 pound shooter.
Nothing clears a troubled mind like shooting a bow.
