Congratulations on your harvest. This is my second year hunting with a traditional bow. Haven’t connected yet but I’m having fun. I’ve missed four nice bucks in the last two weeks all under twenty yards. Traditional archery is a humbling experience to say the least.

Outstanding sliver slinger Buck! I trad bow myself and knowing that any animal is a trophy, yours stands tall!

Congratulations on your harvest. This is my second year hunting with a traditional bow. Haven’t connected yet but I’m having fun. I’ve missed four nice bucks in the last two weeks all under twenty yards. Traditional archery is a humbling experience to say the least. Don't give up! Pick a hair, don't drop your bow arm and "peek", and follow through. It is humbling and even really good traditional archers miss sometimes, but when you connect it's a feeling like no other.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Congrats on a great hunt with a traditional Bow. 11 paces, it doesn't get any better than that. That must have been exciting.

Great success, congrats. I’ve killed many with a wheel bow, but I don’t have the skill that’s needed for traditional archery.

Congrats on a great buck! Love those old Shakespeare bows, they were always way under rated in my opinion. Good Job!

Outstanding! That is a nice buck. Good looking bow. Wish you luck on the next hunt. Trad Hunting is a blast. I have an old Bear Grizzly I take out sometimes with my home made shafts, stone points for ground hunting on my place. I took a turkey with it two years back. Just lucky.

Awesome buck and bow! Congrats 👍
After harvesting a Tom with my longbow this year, I’m all horned up to kill a buck with it now 🦌🦌
