I started bowhunting at the age of 10 1994and shot my first P&Y in 2006. Long time coming, but have killed a p&y every year since.........only 2 seasons in a row....hope I have started a trend for myself....but I am likely in for a rude awakening!

P&Y is 125+ for a typical to make it in the book and B&C is 170+ to make it.
