Default Wow, I'm really gonna do it.

Shot my final 12 arrows tonight in anticipation of our PA opener tomorrow, (all 12 right on the money )
Broadheads are sharp, everything is ready to go.


Dammit I'm almost nervous.

Keep it under 20 yards, pick a spot, anchor and follow through.
This will be the first time I've ever hauled a recurve into a deer stand with me but it's not something I took lightly, I tuned it well, and spent countless hours practicing.
I really feel like I've come a long way. Ijust hope it comes together and I don't "blank out" if a deer walks up! LOL

I've had several people say to me today....."So you're really gonna do it huh?"[:-]
YEP.

Wish me luck. I feel like it's my very first opening day.

I havent reached that point yet, Ill take my recurve some but the compound is going with also. Im not ready to give up the chance of a booner coming out at 35 or 40 yards and not being able to do it cause all I have is my recurve. Good luck.

Passthru79, if you're looking to score on B&C bucks at forty yards, thentraditionalmaynot be a good choice.

you'll feel differnt - having a real bow in your hand will make you feel like a truer bowhunter, and the meaning of your first kill will have more significance compared to having taken it with other weapons

if you ever move on to self bows, arrows and trade points, again your challenge is increased greatly and many fold will be your return from that
