Default RE: What made you become a bowhunter.......

I was at a buddies house chatting with him. I looked up in his garage on the shelf and seen an old bow laying there. I think it was an old browning, sucker must have weighed7-8 lbs. Had the old metal sights, The tips were painted diff colors.No peep sight. We'll I asked to barrow it. Shot it for a while. Since I lived on the edge of town I talked to my nieghbor about putting a stand back by the creek. Had a nice eight point coming in. I drew back and the deer stopped behind a tree.All I knew after about 30 sec is thatI wanted to shoot it, not hold it at full draw..[>:] so I let the bow down, then he came in about ten yrds away...shot under him and he took off. I knew I was hooked.then and there..[8D]
Next day took his bow back and went and bought a new one. Have taken deer every year, also let several walk What a rush and we all love the meat.
