Ron - I got out this afternoon with the bow you sold me a couple of months back?
Found two wood arrows among the hundreds that reside in my den.
Switched Broadheads for Blunts and hit em with a file
OFF to my blind. Hadn't been in over a month but it's on a funnel in a bow only urban unit.
Arrived at 3:50 Way too late but being the edge of a neighborhood I hoped to enter unnoticed
Blind was half blown over when I got there
Few adjustments
Kicked fresh leaves all around the base
Got in - got organized
4:05 I hear a deer !.?!?! In the fresh fallen leaves
By 4:15 a doe walked through at 10 yards
I didn't shoot I just couldn't swing with it
As I watched it continue on I see a second bigger deer
Walking slowly and I drew slowly
Just as I anchor the deer stops
Arrow GONE
I waited 30 minutes- couldn't stand waiting- but you know you are supposed to and it looked good but best to wait a little
Walked to where I last saw the deer and almost stepped on it
10 yard shot
70 yard recovery
43# longbow bought from Ron W
Overall a great day
Ron - I love the bow. It is beautiful. It is a tac driver this thing Shoots! And it was well cared for. Appreciate You, Thanks and good hunting
Cory, Nice job, what specific bow is that and it looks like a ACE Broadhead. Can't believe the blood spot on the tree! I always root for Ron W during deer season....
Holme Made
61"
Looks like a hybrid longbow
43#
Ron knows way more about it than I do
I just trusted his judgement on it
And glad I did!!
What a fun thread to read! Congratulations!
Congratulations. Good job.
:clapper:
Excellent...Congrats!!
Congratulations. Ron's bows all shoot great. He knows how to tune them. Only reason he sells or trades them is cuz he cannot possibly shoot all of his bows frequently and because trading and selling is fun. I mean who needs 30 chad Holm bows anyway. :readit: :smileystooges: :biglaugh:
:clapper: :clapper: :clapper: congrats! Thanks for sharing the story and pics. And Ron is a good guy for sure!

Excellent all around.
:campfire: :coffee: :archer2:
:notworthy: thanks for the kind words !!
Cory,
Well done!
Thanks for sharing.
Cool thread - sometimes it just all works out! The way Cory describes this one makes it seem easy - makes me think of how many times we've hunted so hard and put it so much fruitless effort. Then other days, it's like "showing up" was all we had to do. I guess that's what keeps many of us so addicted to it!
Congratulations on the deer and the bow! Ron is one of the good guys!
Beautiful Bow and Congrats on the Doe kill.
