Ground Hog standing in front of the 65yrd bale on the practice range. 50# longbow, cedar arrow. Wasn't the biggest, but it's the one I'll always remember.

It doesn't have horns or a lot of glamour, but the biggest critter I've killed with a recurve was a 350 pound feral pig sow. That's about half again heavier than the biggest whitetail deer I've shot.

Equipment was a Brackenbury Legend recurve, 55 pounds at 33", 2216 Easton XX75 arrow and a Zwickey 2-blade broadhead.

Good grief! That was 16 years ago.

My biggest was a 240# wild boar taken with a Great Plains WolfCreek 1-pc recurve,57@28#.Cedar arrow tipped with Zwickey 2-blade BH.This was the 1st big game critter I ever killed with a stickbow.

Well let's see... it stood about two feet tall, gleeming in the last golden shafts of light on a beautiful September day. A testament to my ferocious tenacity of practicing all summer long, culminating in a trophy that I will never forget. With vertical golden tips flowing upwards to the sky, I was very humbled indeed. I claimed my prize with pride even though it was only myself and two other recurve archers that shot in the barebow class of a 28-target NFAA Invitational.

Good grief, Arthur... your knuckles must drag on the ground or you're nearly as tall as a baby giraffe. :D

Honestly, the biggest animal I've ever taken was not measured by it's weight, nor by the size of it's rack. More accurately, it was the size of his eyelashs blinking at a mere 12 feet away as I stood on the ground and put an arrow through him after watching him push and shove a smaller-bodied 8-pt. around for 15 minutes, then coming over to investigate my soft grunt calls behind a multi-flora rose bush on a Halloween morning. Etched in memory forever....

Equipment? Hmmm... a no-name 50# take-down recurve that I purchased from Dehner's Hardware & Sports and stacked like a pile of Aunt Jemimas. An old Bear cedar arrow tipped with an old Bear Razorhead.

Let's see, I shot a 700+# bull elk and a 470# black bear with my recurve. The equipment was a 72# Howatt recurve with 2216 shafts and Bear reazorheads.

8 pt. shot with a short-long bow, 14 inch arrow with a cardboard broadhead.

This is my first, my biggest, and my only trophy with my longbow. Chekmate Crusader 55@28", Magnus II, carbon shaft.

The largest animal I've taken was a 200# (field dressed) whitetail at about 5 yards through the heart with a 53# recurve and a solid 3-blade head. He went 70 yards and tipped over.
