New member and first archery deer

N Schraft · December 18, 2019, 05:02:51 AM

Hello all,

I am a new member here and just wanted to introduce myself and share my first archery deer. I am Nick Schraft from Western Massachusetts. I got into hunting into a few years back. I was drawn to traditional archery right off the bat and got a new Bear Grizzly bow and shooting became somewhat of an obsession. Long story short I got my first archery deer on November 9th of this year. I set a stand up on a pinch point that had plenty of deer traffic and that morning this gorgeous 10 pointer came past at 10 yards. I double lunged him and he went 15 yards stopped, wobbled and fell over dead. What an amazing feeling after all the practice, hard work and scouting! Anyways, I look forward to being part of this forum.

-Nick
