Thats exactly what I was wonderin Charlie. What about missin that curve? I know how it makes a guy feel ta do it with a selfbow. Waaaayyyy special! Especially when ya throw all that other MOJO in on top of it. Impressive! Couldn't have happened to a better man. Glad it worked out the way it did. Congrats! CK

Great going Curt! Thanks for sharing your hunt with us.
There's 2 dates they carve on your tombstone. Everyone knows what they mean. What's more important is time that is known as the little dash in between.

Dang bro you ain't supposed to get blood on the HANDLE of the knife, that's what the blade is for ha ha. Neat knife!

Judging from the angle of entry of that arrow, you might have let him get in a bit TOO close before you hammered him LOL

He's just a miniature version of the one in your avatar.Like Dianne said one time after shooting a similar buck " He's a P&Y er, I could see the potential right off, so I figured why wait?"

You have now joined the "brotherhood of the wood bow". Next time you pick up your glass bow it's gonna seem like a contraption      "[tunglaff]"    (just kiddin)

Congrats again Curt, love seeing that smile!

Congrats on the 11 pt Curt! :thumbsup:

People around here are always asking me about the bows I make,and if they will kill deer? They don't seem to think a simple thing like a selfbow will do the job.

Be very careful now....or you'll get hooked!

Stone point next?   :D

Ck, Thanks Bro

Razz,Thanks you sir

Mick, Yea he may have gotten a bit too close.I did still get both lungs,in the top of the near lung,and thru the center of the far lung somehow cutting about a 5" slice on the way out of that lung.Thank You Mickey!!

Timo,If I get another chance with this bow next time around,I'll be better prepared.I would love to try a stone point.This whole week I was thinking about it!! Thanks!!

Way to go Curt.  Excellent job.  Thanks for taking us along for the ride with all of your pics.  Congrats.

Hopefully, this is the first in a long line of successful adventures with Mr. Clean, the left-handed story bow.

Curt this is real, real  cool!  :thumbsup:   Love all the pics, next best thing to being there. I like seeing the red stuff all over. That knife looks about right to me good and red.  :D  

I have build, maybe 6 or 8 wooden bows of different kinds and never really felt confident to take one to the woods. But it is high on my list, it is hard to put the curvey down and commit.

Anyway, could not be happer for you  :D  , and using the bow, arrow, knife, and who knows what else from you friends here just makes it the very best!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:  

And oh yeah, 5 yard shot couldn't be any sweeter! Love those close shots!


Thanks again.

Way To Go! Curt! Congratulations! Great Story! Nice Deer!
Someday you and I will take the Great Hart by our own skill alone, and with an arrow. And then the Little Gods of the Woods will chuckle and rub their hands and say, "Look, Brothers. An Archer! The Old Times are not altogether gone!"

Thanks for sharing! The story was great, but the fellowship you read behind the story makes it that much better!
Congrats to you and the others who have and will tote the bow!!!
Being first, making a mark and being part of
something great!

May you keep the wind to your nose, have the patience of Job, and have your Firstarrow fly true.
