Finished my first TD recurve on 11-01-2011.
58", Hard rock Maple limbs w/ bubinga riser.
51# @ 28"  
Will post better pics later, all I have now is a couple pics of my first deer, a nice doe, my first Trad Bow kill, on 11-11-2011.
It was an unbelievable experience, a huge rush of adrenaline, finally one of my dreams come true. To take a deer with a bow I made.
Thanks to many of you here along the way to this momentus occasion, and God Bless.

 

 

My little helper. He helped me skin her, with his table/butter knife.

Congratulations Wes! Great looking little helper you got there too..........Art

Congrats and great picture with the little man holding the knife and dad holding the bow:) ^5 Roy

Congrats

Way to go!! Nothin better than taking one with a bow you made!!        

Your helper is impressed with ol Dad too! Good pic there!

Great job it is so great to doing that, I did not think hunting could get better, until this year when I took my first trad animal. It too was with a bow I made myself.

It is a great feeling is it not.

Congratulations on a fine doe.

Congrats for a great job ( the bow and the deer ). I bet the youngster is very proud of his dad.

Nice job!!!!

Great story. DIY is the way to go..

Best doe ya' ever killed I bet? Good job on getting the first one of the press to stay together.

Thanks, again fellas. Yes Pearl Drums, it was the best doe, best deer for that matter, I have ever taken. Definitely a great feeling KellyG. And my helper, Brycen (6)and his older brother, Tyler (11), have been regulars at the meat shop since they were born basically.

That's one to be proud of!!
Well done!

Way to go, Wes! Love to see younguns getting in on some of the action.
Bet it felt like your first deer all over again!  

Congratulations on a great accomplishment!
