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. I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted..... proud Cracker-Americaan muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one

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. Last edited by RCHRR; 02/24/18 05:52 PM.

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.
