1965, I missed one with a bow, 10 yard shot on a six point. I "think" I shot 6 feet over his back due to terminal buck fever. Killed the next four or five I shot at w/o a miss.
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.
