Good stuff!

I am not a great story teller like a lot of you guys but I will do my best...To be honest this past year has been a tuff one. Confidence in my shooting went in the crapper, I guess that came from switching bows to many times. To be real honest, it got so bad I went back to the wheels for awhile. I just didn't want to cripple up an animal because I couldn't make a good shot. On October the 6th I killed a 18" wide 9 point from the ground at 9 yards. It would have been a buck of a lifetime with the longbow. I was disappointed that my shooting had gone so far south that I had to go back to the wheels.
    That same week I received a bow that Bill Stroup had made for me. I was so disgusted with my shooting that I really didn't shoot it that much until last week. I pulled her out dusted off the arrows I thought would fly and low and behold the arrows flew great and went where I was looking. Its like my shooting just showed back up after being on a 6 month vacation. Last year I killed 5 deer with a Dwyer Long bow that ended up selling to Ken Denton. Since I sold that bow my shooting has been terrible. I thought that bow had cursed me for selling it.

Here is another picture. Me with all of my trophys....Minus my wife. She was running the camera.LOL
 

Congrats  

With all that being said I took my new bow out on its maidien voyage. My shooting confidence was back the weather was great and I headed to the woods feeling like something good was going to happen.
About 3:45 I had a spike roll through. He offered me a great shot but I passed. He is going to make a fine buck in 3 or 4 years.  He thought he was the king of the woods the way he was making scrapes and rubbing his nubs in the trees. I took this as a good sign.

Nice job. Nice bow too. Now you can sell the wheels so you aren't tempted back to the dark side.  

Your wife must me a beautiful woman, cause those are two gorgeous little girls!  

Congrats on re-gaining your stickbow edge!
