Ok, finally got my chores done!!!

Well, today I went out and shot a couple broadheads. My flight was pretty good with field points, but a bit wonky once I put the 1.5" wide German Kinetics on the end. So I took Hope out to the shop, pulled out the paper tuner, shot a few arrows, and found out why!!!! After a few adjustments everything was doing good, and the broadhead flight straightened out nicely.

So I was sitting on the porch shooting my bag target, and shooting pretty well.

I then got to thinking about hunting with her. I checked the weather, and the wind was out of the SW. That's a good thing for here at the house!!!

Soooooooooo, I decided I was gonna go for it! I got cleaned up and headed for the stand at the top of the hill.

Gotta go fix supper! Be back in a little while.

  There's gonna be a blood trail at the end of this story...!!

Ok, just had leftovers for supper, so that went pretty fast.

Anyway, I hiked it up to the top of the hill at about 3:30, and got situated in a permanent enclosed ground blind. I was texting a few friends about hunting with Hope. I wasn't sitting there 20 minutes when I see a doe come walking in from my left. I got all excited and picked up the bow. As she got closer, I could tell she was a younger doe, so I just eased back into a more comfortable position in my chair to watch her.

Then, just a few minutes later, another doe came in from directly behind me. As soon as I saw her, I knew she was an older doe, and decided I would shoot her if I got a good close shot.

She worked her way around to about 10yds out my right window, was slightly quartered away, and moved her near leg forward! I call that "the dead deer position"!!!

Everything went into auto-pilot after that. Next thing I knew, my arrow smacked her side, and she went to barreling out of there. At about 20yds, her front end went out from under her, and she tumbled over dead at about 30yds.

Total time from shot to dead deer was about 6 seconds!

I love it when a plan comes together. I also love this JT Traditions longbow!!!!!

Anyway, here's first blood for Hope:



Entrance hole:



Exit hole:



I will be after horns from here on out, but have one place with special permits where I might get to try for another doe too. The plan is to concentrate on the bucks though!

I absolutely love these Hope bows. This is the 3rd time I've participated, and all have been good bows, and I have been successful with them all also.

Wish me luck for the next 2 weeks!!!!!

Congratulations Bish on first blood and mostly thank you for shooting the bow and for your feedback!
John @ JT Traditional Archery

I see I better get working on Faith

Thank you, John, for being part of Hope and Faith, and most importantly, giving us a fun way to drum up some help for those kids that desperately need it. St Judes is a place I would donate to anyway, but the TG St Judes auction just gives me a fun, Trad archery related way to do it!!!!!!!

Right on Bish! I cannot think of a better organization than Saint Jude to donate any help. Thank you everyone for supporting that. Thanks to Mr. Green and everyone else that is making this happen!

Went out this afternoon to a small piece of ground I have leased from a friend. I had to help unload 200 alfalfa bales and was a little late getting going. I did not go to the stand I wanted to because of the time. Anyway, I saw a bunch of deer. Does and fawns, and 5 little bucks. Nothing to shoot at today. We'll see what happens tomorrow!!!!
