I’m impressed. She really kept it together. Most grown men can’t pull that off from the ground. Your doing it right. Congratulations
Dead-gum-it, now I am really gonna feel bad if I can't get it done with the stick bow this year haha. Too cool, that is awesome. Stone cold killer you got there. Congrats to you and your daughter.My 10year old daughter killed her first every deer on November 13th. Her 26# at 24" draw longbow was enough to get full body cavity penetration at 8yds with an old magnusII broadhead. View attachment 76517View attachment 76518
I am inspired by you stick bow guys. I had to go compound after an injury. I’m working on exercises and can now pull back my old bear at #45. Maybe I can get back next fall. I look at my sticks and I get a little chocked up. 3 decades with them lots of memory’s. Nice to see young kids getting into the sport.Dead-gum-it, now I am really gonna feel bad if I can't get it done with the stick bow this year haha. Too cool, that is awesome.

such a great post! coming from a Dad of a 11 y/o and 15 y/o daughters. My girls scout and go to the 3D range with me, I’m trying to get them to where they ask to hunt.My 10year old daughter killed her first every deer on November 13th.

Kids probably thinking ’why we packing out the hooves grandpa?’Another deer killed by @mybow with his newest MyBow recurve.

My 13 yr old son was with us on the recovery and packed it out for his grand father. Wasn't a long pack but, he did a good job considering the pack was 62# and he only weighs 125#.

I would start with a 40 - 45 lb bow....Something you can handle to develop proper form and will do well for deer hunting. Trust me on this.....Wow!!!! These are some very inspiring posts!!!
I have been a compound bow hunter for the last 4 years exclusively and saddle hunting the last 2 years.... each step influenced by a couple good friends. What I didn't realize was it was a gradually pull to get me to the final step of traditional hunting. I have always been fascinated by my buddies hunting but this forum is sucking me in more.
I just got a loaner 53# @ 28" recurve and I am watching Tom Clum videos on building correct form. Well I am learning a lot and wondering how I have ever killed a deer based on my lack of understanding proper mechanics. Anyway, I have discovered that 53 to 56#'s is too much for me to do slow draws for practice on. Any advice on a starter practice bow, cheap but functional.
What weight bow is idea for deer hunting?
If this has been covered In another post please point me in the right direction.
Thanks and congrats to everyone again!!!!

Thanks, this is a great thread for me to jump in. Already picked up a couple things I hadn't considered reading through it.here’s a good thread to start with. https://saddlehunter.com/community/...rad-again-suggestions-for-a-bow-choice.48590/
I just received a selfbow from John; 64" 47#@27" Buffalo Runner Spirit, osage sapling bow with the sapwood still on...been shooting it for 2 days. Amazed how quiet and efficient it is, and accurate for something as crooked as a dog's leg. Three 175 Ace broadheads from 20 yards kneeling on the Niff-T seat. Love it; hope I can do as well as you have.Got another with the selfbow. This time it was a 66” John Strunk “Spirit” Osage 52# at 26”, self nock Surewood Shaft w/VPA 3blade on the business end. This old nanny made the mistake of walking behind my at about 12 yds. Gotta love a saddleView attachment 76483
