Anyone got any pics of their kills with a recurve or longbow? I dont care what it is I love seeing traditional kills it gives me confidence because I see so many people doing it. Lets see them!
There is a whole thread of them and stories in the highlight forum. Daily Hunts from last year.

Walt... Vance called day before yesterday and he was in town to warm up. Said he'd never make fun of midwestern temperatures again... cold and humidity.
So far he's passed on some iffy shots, but no turkey on the ground yet.
Walt, those are some amazing animals. Fantastic.

Love that velvet buck, Kingwouldbe.

I don't have the hog picture.
Here is a pic of a antelope I shot a couple years back. 8 yards spot and stalk, this was one of the funnest hunts I have been on.

Kingwouldbe,I want to hunt with YOU!!!!!!!!!!!
Kingwouldbe, you must be one sneaky bugger.
Cool under pressure. Best shooting is when it really counts. Hit them hard, then hit them hard again. Get a broadhead scary sharp right there in the shade with a file you got out of your pack, while your hands are still bloody!?!!
Dam fine American!
