[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2332544, member: 15054"] Funny my first deer with bow was many years ago for youth gun hunt. I took my youngest son and he slept on a rock about 40 yards from me. I was sitting on a tree limb just off an old grown over logging road. I see this nice buck walking down the road, I have this tall bear compound bow with a plastic finger to hold the arrow. No sights..I shot instinct then...Limbs in the way!!! i lean over almost upside down left foot acting like a prehensile tail, wrapped around the tree...Bow is now sideways full draw, deer walking closer,,,,,,i lean further down my head now below my butt...2 more feet and i got ya....I got him!! and away he goes right behind my sleeping son and 20 feet up from him.. He falls over... I woke my son up and asked if he heard any thrashing...he stated just squirrels behind me...Yep! Some shots you can't practice.... I have a Hoyt now with over draw and those 2 thin fingers will not hold an arrow when you shoot sideways. You can ask this doe i shot at last year at Eufaula. :) Practice practice...I can shoot 30+ yards in my back yard.. that helps a lot.. [/QUOTE]
