12 years old in 1988. I grazed the back of a spike with my 45 lb Darton MX-30. I was shooting with finger tabs and aluminum arrows at the time. I really don't think I aimed at that deer. I just yanked it back and let it fly. Talk about buck fever LOL!

Then I took a 16 year layoff from bowhunting, so it was almost like starting over from scratch. This time I had a Hoyt Razortec, carbon arrows, a mechanical release and a quality sight with a peep. I still had buck fever, and I competely rushed the shot, but I hit the liver and recovered a small 6 pt.
