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.

Adcock 3 piece TD longbow, 52#, carbon arrow and Thunderhead broadhead (425 total grains) 18 yard shot

RE: Whats the biggest trophy You have taken
 

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

RE: Whats the biggest trophy You have taken
 

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.

Nice deer Kip!!;)

My biggest was either a 180# buck or 180# black bear. Hmmmm...does that mean I don't have a 'biggest' YET?? [:-]:D

Kip,

GREAT picture, and congrats on the deer.

A green colored flying moth. I used a 123# longbow and a 1128 grain white pine wood arrow. It was tipped with a custom made 312 grain broadhead made of chrome plated titanium. I shot it at 62 yards, uphill. Take care...........Tom

RE: Whats the biggest trophy You have taken
 

Absolutely Vic. Don't you remember? I did while hunting polar bear in Argentina. I can't believe you have already forgotten. lol I was trying to sound like that kid that use to go into the chatroom, I can't remembeer his name though. Take care...............Tom

A 10 point buck that weighed 240# standing and 191# field dressed. I shot him at 12 yards, broadside, through both lungs with a 2213 shaft tipped with a Wolverine 2 blade broadhead. This was my first year of traditional bowhunting with my 64" Assenhiemer custom recurve that's 56# @ 28".

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

The only critter I ever had mounted, as I thought it a real trophy!
Robertson "Buffalo Bow" 59# @ 28" - tapered cedars & Bear "razorhead"
Take a close look at it's teeth! And yes, it is snow on the ground in the pic. It was late December & it was starving to death because it couldn't eat with those dentures. It's nose was packed full of grass where it was trying. i've heard of this sort of thing, but it's the first (and only) one I ever actually saw.

You guys dont intimidate me with your huge bears, boars or bucks....I got a crow:D A nice little 17 yard shot (thru the chest) he kept attacking my Grandmothers finches and cardinals, so......

Im still workin' on that buck...;)

RE: Whats the biggest trophy You have taken
 

175#, 5 pt buck I killed on the tower site of the radio station where my son is the Chief Engineer in NE GA. I was using a 53# Bob Jones, local 79 year old bowyer, T/D recurve, I can't remeber what type of arrows, but I was using 125 gr Steel Force broadheads. They cut the mustard, let me tell ya!!
