cory46928 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
