Hey guys,
I finally got to smoke my first deer with my 2 year old Mathews Switchback XT yesterday evening. I wasn't even going to go out yesterday but I thought what the heck. The corn was still standing, I hadn't seen a buck all year and no pics on the trail camera, and it was suppose to rain. It was about 6:00 pm and I had been setting in the misting rain for about an hour and I was ready to give it up for the day. I put my Easton ST Axis tipped with a Muzzy 100gr. 4 blade broadhead back in the quiver and clipped my lowering string onto the bow. As soon as I was about to lower my bow, I looked to the left and saw 2 8 pointers coming aroound the corn, they was 26 yards out.
My first thought was way to go, you blew this one dummy. I brought the back, grabbed my arrow, clipped on my release, and then picked out which one I wanted. The one leading was smaller body and rack. As soon as I raised my bow, it was like he knew it was show time. He turned broadside and I let it rip. Clean shot all the way. He went 30 yards and lights out. I now know what the excitement and feeling is all about when you take one with your bow. Good luck and I'll get some pics up soon.
