My first was a stingray killed off of Wildcat Point on the northern tip of Chincoteague island, VA with a 40lb Bear Black Bear Recurve when I was around the age of 12.

Cool, was that the black bear conversion. a warf bow I believe it is called. Where you put the recurve limbs on the old black bear riser. I hear that is a great shooting combo. I wish I had my old black bear so I could build one.

No Burnie it is a regular 70's era Bear Black Bear Recurve. I was wrong about the lbs. it is actually 45lbs@28". I still own it. It is pretty scratched up and lots of the finish is worn off from being thrown in the bottom of many boats and thrown in the water while bowfishing for shark and stingrays. Here she is.

A boar hog last year. 65#. It was a double lung pass through. I was still hunting with an Alpine Impact X-treme. That is now my wifes bow. I changed the limbs from 60-70# to 40-50#. I have since killed 3 deer and another dozen hogs and 1 'yote. I was 44 years old at the time I made my 1st bow kill so, yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks!

1990, I was 17 years old killed an 8 pt. buck that was harassing a good friend of mines pet does. Used a Martin Lynx buck scored 138 P&Y. From that moment I was addicted, never gun hunted for deer again.

GregH......That's a great photo. I'd love to sit around your camp and listen to stories, sometime.

My first bowkill was the buck in my avatar......Sept. 30th of this year. I've since taken a Piebald BB and a doe, yesterday. I've been blessed, this season.

My first was a 6 point I shot last Friday. 25 yards after sitting in my stand less then 20 minutes.
