Very nice. I’ve arrowed a lot of them with a compound. Doing it with a recurve or stick bow is a whole different level of skill. Congrats.

Congrats, Bet that was an exciting hunt. I have only killed one with a bow. But it sure is a great way to hunt them.

Those fletchings are commercial, but I do save the wings and grind my own. Those are saved for wood/cane shafts.

Nice bird and nice BW! I saw one of those green ones with quilted maple limbs dyed the same green at ETAR last year. Pretty bow but not quite my thing.
Were you in a blind or in the open?
The chances they come, and the chances they go. But the time. You don't get that back.

I was in a blind.
I like the green leaf riser, and the all carbon limbs are just perfect for a blacked out blind.
I use a bow with veneers (semi camo?) and clear glass when covering ground. Usually a longbow of some flavor.

Great job! Beautiful bow. Turkey with a stick bow is next on my list.
