Here is a pic of the whitetail buck that I shot yesterday. My dad and I rough scored him at 135.
Making a long story short...
I had a week of very bad luck. I missed three different bucks due to the fall away arrow rest on my bow not falling away. (Word of advice, don't buy a Ripcord rest.) I switched rests (I'm now a Whisker Biscuit fan.) and got sighted in again.
Yesterday morning this buck showed up with a doe. I had to wait for it to get light enough to see exactly how big he was. Then I had to wait even longer for him to turn broadside so I could get a shot. When he finally did, I smoked him through the heart/lung area from 20 yards. No blood trail at all. Found him later about 100 yards away. I had actully walked past him about 15 yards earlier in the morning and didn't see him. Talk about a rollercoaster season!

Thanks all.
Don't know what the problem was with the Ripcord but I'll be sending it back. I had their previous model on my old bow and didn't have any problems at all. Whatever the problem, I'm shooting the Whisker Biscuit from now on. I definitely don't want to go through that again.
