One of my best friends was down from upstate NY for the weekend to attend a big Sport show in my area and he's also an avid bowhunter and just started shooting traditional bows this past year as well........after shooting some of my recurves the bet was made.

The exact terms of the bet have not been laid out yet but it revolves around who will be the first to take a deer next year with our respective recurves.Any legal animal is fair game.
(We have already made it clear that only good clean shots well within our personal effective range will be taken in fairness to the animals we're after, and to avoid trying toforce something in order to win the bet.)

We will update each other daily of our happenings in our quest to each take our first deer with traditional gear.

Well I guess there's no turning back now?[:-] I don't think I've been this excited for a bowseason that seems light years away now.I flung 60 arrows in my basement tonight just thinking about it.
Both of us have killed a boatload of deer with a bow but somehow the feeling of it has already changed.

Wish us luck (Well me anyway) Photos to follow in 9 months.

I think if I were in that position, I would go to a game ranch and shoot my exotic deer first

Good luck Matt! Can't wait to see the pictures!

If nothing goes wrong, I'll be headed out next Thursday for a few days of chasing GA hogs with my longbow--if I get one, I'll have to send someone the picture to post--I'm computer illiterate.

Good luck!!

9 months?? Hmmm.... I've heard of a gestation period similar to that before. What was it now??? Oh yeah! That's how long I had to hide in the spare bedroom while my wife was pregnant and doing stuff like this!

Good luck delivering this baby. [8D]

Just make sure you can both be paged when it happens in case it's a double!!!

Best of luck, and it's great to see your enthusiasm!

good luck to both of you(you more of course..)

Matt,

What's a compound guy like you doing shooting recurves ?
