I'm curious what bow you were shooting in 1965?

Long time ago, I think it was with a Colt, a Ben Pearson recurve, 40#. First "real" bow I had. Got a Pearson Golden Soverign Conqueror, 47#, soon after that. Then a Howatt Hi-Speed at 55#(too much!!!). Then a 1969 Bear Takedown at 52#, still kill stuff with that one.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

BP made some good bows. Wish I still had my first bows.

I actually killed the first deer I ever shot at with a bow. 100lb doe. Shaking like a leaf.

0. Nailed the first I ever shot at at 35 yds . Old Bear Bow whitetail legend or something. Had just sighted it in the day before. Reason= PURE DUMB LUCK. Missed a spike 3 days later at about 25.

One but I missed her 7 times. That was way back in 1987. Sitting on the ground and she kept coming back to a small patch of clover in the greenfield. Finally I just stood up and walked off with my last arrow in hand while she kept feeding. Haven’t missed anymore that gave a second shot and haven’t missed a hand full since that first one.

I’ve definitely missed a few deer with a rifle but I seem to be a killer with archery equipment. Missed 1 and lost 1. Killed the first 2 I ever drew back on at age 11. No idea how many I’ve killed now, I never was one of the folks that kept count.
