Congratulations! Love traditional bow hunting!10/22/22, got my first kill with a recurve on my wedding anniversary lol saw him about 400 yards away at the bottom of a field. As I was sneaking down there he started to walk up a treeline heading my direction, I ending up crouching into some brush on the corner of that treeline before he got there. He ended up giving me a 6 yard shot
I have to give some credit to my Father in Law who was giving me some updates about how far there deer was from me via the phone lol "he's about 60 yards from the corner… oh.. he's trotting now, 30 yards away" that's when I hung up lol one of my most fun hunts!

It was a crazy morning! Saw 23 deer and several biggin's. I enjoyed spending the morning together.
Thanks! I've taken my recurve out more this year than anything else, the few times I took my compound out after I got this buck I felt like I was almost cheating lol
Wow, glad I asked. Great story. If bows had a soul that bow would be singing! I use the 3 blade VPAs but 175gn. Impressive arrow build...Thanks!

The bow is a Palmer Classic that my Father-in-Law bought back in the mid 90's and gave me years ago. It's 62" and 62# @31". I'm drawing it ~58-59# or so with my draw length. He never hunted with it, he said he always felt more comfortable with his compound. So the cool thing is that this bow is about as old as I am and I was able to get not only my first recurve kill with it, but the bows first kill with it too!
The arrows are some cheap "Accmos" name brand arrows off Amazon, $36.99/dozen shafts. Pleasantly surprised with how durable, straight, and consistent these arrows are. I've got a 200 grain VPA 3-Blade 1.25", a 150 grain insert, and a 30 grain 2" 2219 aluminum footer on the front end. Total arrow weight is about 735 grains.
Nice. Congratulations
