Crispin , congrats on the double! That's sad your losing your spot, hope you will be able to find another.
Can't put my new Misty Dawn down, thought you would appreciate that!
Good job.

Congrats crispin idk how you guys get off more than one shot, that's awesome

Great hunting Crispin.  Wouldn't mind hearing the story of getting off two shots.  I know James' bows are quiet but that's still pretty cool!

Mike & Kopper,
Truth be known, I actually shot three times.  They came in at about 20 yds out from my left on a well-worn trail that crossed in front of my stand.  The second doe stopped directly in front of me and gave me a perfect broadside shot.  I aimed low expecting her jump the string; however either she was deaf or my Berry bow is just so dang quiet and she did move.  When the arrow hit the ground she jumped and ran about 2-3 yds closer and stopped.   I expected them to run, but the stood there looking puzzled.....I think the noisy squirrels helped.  I reached back and grabbed another grizzly tipped arrow.  This time I got pass through.  She ran another 5 yds away and stood there.  As the other doe was looking in the 1st does direction and was able to retrieve another Simmons Interceptor arrow and get her.    
I'm not sure if anyone has the same experience with Grizzly Broadheads, but over the years, I've shot several deer that didn't immediately burst out of there after being shot by one.  Matter of fact, last year   I had three deer under me. I was able to shoot two, but the third one took off after hit the second one.

This is my buck from opening morning on September 10. Used a JD Berry Vixen, Surewood Shaft and Grizzly Broadhead.

Nice one Mr. Henry.........

Great job Crispin!  Sorry about your hunting grounds...that is a bum deal for sure.  Enjoy that venison.

Bill-

Man Crispin! that's quite a feat. Well done. That Morningstar must be crazy quiet. What are the stats on that bow?

Beautiful buck!!! I'd say you had a stellar season

Hate it about your hunting spots. You are always welcome to hunt these swamps I hunt. They a bit gamey.RC

I like your dedication.  You stuck with it and made something happen.  Those Berry bows are whisper quiet.  None of the deer that I shot with my new-to-me Argos reacted to the sound of the release. I am quickly becoming a JD Berry longbow fan!

I found this article in the Spring 1998 Traditional Bowhunters of Georgia (TBG) newsletter.  Our dear friend Robert Carter (RC) wrote it.  Almost 19 years to the month and he's still getting it done.

 

 


 

Another one sucked into the addiction....

Half breed, cocobola riser and black glass and straight grip.

Im sold already on just the fact of how dang quiet they are!!! Cant wait to get it shooting at some critters.Having never shot anything with a longbow Im looking forward to the challenge.

Beauty. Welcome to the clan. Good luck with that first critter.

Congrats Crispin! I've always said that if you have hunting land and want to sell it quick, just give me permission to hunt on it. Usually takes about 2 years max.   :rolleyes:

Yohon, that is a beauty--such beauty in simplicity.  I have come to prefer the colored glass.  I guess it takes me back to the earlier days of my archery pilgrimage when that was all there was.

Good looking bow Yohon....  can't wait to see it laying on the side of a nice sika stag!

Welcome to the madness Yohon. See you around.
Greg

Congrats on your success Crispin, but dang'd sure sorry to hear about the sale of your hunting property.

Thanks guys been fun so far....R.V.T.B......you know it was all your fault    

Greg, I sure hope we run into one another at the Baltimore shoot!!!
