    Many years ago, my wife drove to from Pa to Ohio to get a picture of you while holding my daughter! She is a die hard Turkey hunter still to this day. My daughter was only 2 then and is 19 now. Just want to encourage you with the impact you and your team have had on our family over the years! Again, love you man.

    When the deer were filtering in I kept saying to myself " please don't shoot one with a small head." Then when u drew & released I noticed that not a single deer reacted to anything but the Impact. The Impact is the key!
    Sure am glad u flipped her cuz I knew where the shot was b4 u did that. Just a smidge from the Aortic Blast which would have tipped her over in her tracks w/o a spine shot. It was impressive to show people what u can do with the proper setup from a 🌳. U just don't get that proper angle from a ground blind. As old as she was u could have shot her behind the shoulder & had a long bloodtrail. When it got frigid 🥶 here in MN I made a vow to start practicing in February after I reset in January. I will be practicing with my custom Bighorn recurve with my Valkyrie tipped arrows. Probably won't shoot it until April from the shooting tree on my 3D range. But getting the muscle memory built up for a couple of months b4 then will be important since it's a minimum of 10 pounds more than your Hoyt. But it's sure worth it in the long run. Merry X-mas Michael to u & your family 🙏.

    Not great penetration but great shot! I’ve only shot one with traditional bow. The heavy, high FOC carbon arrow from my old 57 lb longbow went through the doe at 20 yds like butter. Sold it because I knew my shoulder would thank me. I’m not down with corn piles but if you’re gonna hunt over one that’s how to make it sporting. 👍

I have seen them though biggest I laid eyes on was probably a out 140" maybe 130" but that's a good buck for where I hunt. Basically gotta get er done around the first week of October or the last week or so.
