Title: First Traditional Bow Kill
Post by: Tim Fishell on March 13, 2007, 09:06:00 PM

Well a friend of mine, his son, and I went out rabbit hunting tonight. I was carrying my Shrew Lil' Favorite prototype and it served me well. I shot one at about 10 yards with a Judo tipped flu flu and the other was shot with a .22 pistol by my friends son. This is my first kill with a bow. I got home cleaned them up and cooked them for dinner. Man rabbit has never tasted so good. :bigsmyl:

Awesome. Only small game I can kill with my recurve is armadillos and that's because they are blind and stupid and let me get to within pointblank range. Steve

Hey Tim, congrats on the rabbits. I took 2 shots at one the other night. Close misses. Think the second shot gave him a haircut. Was hoping to get my first Trad kill also, but hey, it was great even though I misssed. Anyways, awesome, Justin

Great job! Just don't start marking your kills by cutting notches in the beautiful bow.

Thanks for the support guys it was a great day to be out with the ol' stick and string. Here in Michigan out rabbit season runs from September 15 through March 31 so we got a couple more weeks of some good bunny action. Hope to get a few more under my belt. This is going to make it a long summer waiting for next yeat. Good think turkey season is only 2 months away.

Thanks again,
Tim

Cogratulations Tim!

A rabbit was the first game I took with a bow also. Over forty years ago now! I remember the shot like it was yesterday. The rabbit was under a pile of lumber and I had to lay down flat on the ground to shoot.
