RE: Opening morning doe
Thanks everyone
I had left the bamboo osage bow at home. I decieded to pike it and had to finish the tips off. It is now pulling 68lbs @ 28". Ill be using her the rest of the season. This bow is a recurve I copied from an older one I had.I just beefed it up more than the original. It is a yew lam under glass. It is 63lbs at 28" It stacks to about 67-68lbs at my draw lenght. I was using carbon express arrows that I weighted to get 13 grain per inch. With Magnus two blade broadheads, 125grain. Arrow is around 620+grains. I shot her at a little under 20 yards. It was a complete pass through. It was an easy pass through. The arrow went in behind the diaphram, through the liver, though both lungs and through the aorta then out the brisket. Just bearly missed the clavicle. It had nothing really stopping it.

Nice!
You obviously got an exit wound there as well, was it a complete pass through?
And just out of interest what sort of gear were you using arrow weight, broadhead, bow make and draw weight?
I thought you were going to be using your bamboo backed longbow this season? Or am I confused there?

Mate.
What was the acorns like where you are?
We where in Nugent and the ground was covered with them and still a lot of green ones on the oaks.
I have never seen them drop this early before.

this bow is one I built a few years back. It is a glass lam recurve. Its the only bow ive ever used yew on. I just copied the design from an old recurve I had. I just finish pikeing my osage bow, and am in the middle of a take down ipe bow. Ill be hunting the rest of the season with an osage bamboo bow.
