I have been hunting for most of the past 15 years. Up until this year it was mostly with a compound. I had a handful of cases of coming full draw, but didn’t have a perfect shot so I let down. Closest I came to success was a few years ago I shot at a doe, heard a terrible noise and watched my arrow fly over the back of the dear. Found the top cam bushing broke. Decided to go full traditional only this year and put in many hours and countless arrows down range. Took my daughter Saturday for the season opener and saw some deer but got winded on every one due to swirling light breezes. This morning, I said a good long prayer and walked in the woods. About 30 minutes later, this little one walked up. Of course, the breeze was going right to it. The nose was going to work and I figured it was another bust. To my left, there were a couple squirrels in an argument and a bunch of chipmunks running through. Apparently this was enough of a distraction for the deer to continue its walk. I drew back at my one opportunity with a tree blocking me and waited. At ten yards, full broadside, I waited till the shoulder blade opened up with its steps and let my arrow loose. I was met with a solid smack of an arrow making a full pass through. The deer kicked out but didn’t snort or blow and trotted off. A few moments later I heard it crash and I was slammed with so many emotions. It may have even brought a tear or two to my eye. So much time and work has gone into archery and it has become a part of me over the last couple of years far more than I would have thought. Between backyard shooting with the kids, 3d events, setting up and scouting, it finally all came together. It’s not the biggest, it doesn’t have a basket rack, but it is perfect. I said my thanks to the deer and god and just took it all in. I wish everyone good luck, stay safe, and happy hunting. Double lunged, less than a quarter inch from the heart. If the three blade was rotated just a bit, it would cut the heart.
