First deer with a trad bow taken in Northern Virginia

@TOBY458 thank you! I definitely don’t practice enough. This deer is defiantly a trophy. The experience I gained combined with the pics plus enjoying the meat with family and friends is worth much more to me then just any giant rack on the wall

Nice bow. What poundage is it?

 

[PARA45]

Outstanding! That is one tough hunt, and nothing from the ground is easy. Congrats!!! Well done!

Great writeup and an enjoyable read. Getting them from the ground is tough. I'm with you on the ghillie suit. I go full suit with the crossbow, ground and treestand, and it's worked well for me.

Manufacturer says #50 @28 inches and I’m at 27.5” for draw length so I’m guessing I’m pulling 48-49

@Hogpatrol thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it

Congrats!!! That's real bow hunting to me.

Congrats sir. I have that bow in that poundage as well. It is amazing to me that a bow that draws that smoothly and shoots so well can be had for what they charge for it. I bought mine expecting nothing much and was very surprised. Thus far I've only killed paper with mine.

@DoubleLunger - time to try bird hunting with some flu-flus!

 

[Longrifle]

That's a Good Hunt.

 

[Velo Dog]

Outstanding !

Thank you. And I certainly do agree. It doesn’t get much more primal then that

Thank you. And yes, it is a great performing entry bow for anyone looking for an affordable leap into the tradbow world.

I’m just west of Leesburg by about 20 minutes. You local?

 

[DoubleLunger]

That's the real deal, well done.

Thank you Sir!
