The first deer I shot at was a huge doe. I had stalked her into a Christmas tree farm. And was working the rows and finally got with in fifteen yards of her. I released the arrow and it buried in the trunk of a Christmas tree that was between her and I. I was shooting them old single blade pearson broad heads (big heads too) that we would sharpen with a file.

I hunted for years with it until the laminate started to separate. Then I went to a Browning Cobra compound.
I still have and Hunted with (Bears) Original First Compound Bow, I never took a Deer with it though. You could count the seconds it took for the arrow to hit the target. I look at it some times and think WOW, this is what they had to use back then!
