First bow was a Browning compound Cobra. Looked like someone cut the recurves off and stuck wheels on the end. Killed my first bow deer Oct. 28, 1978. It was a Saturday. Got a Thompson Hawken Kit for Christmas in 1980. Spent months finishing it and killed 18 deer with it, starting with the first doe on the last day of late season, 1986, which was the first season I hunted with the ML.
Went from Browning to Darton, to Jennings, and to Mathews......went from Hawken to T/C Thunderhawk, to Remington 700 MLS, to Knight SS Disc Elite....the Remington and the Elite are phenomenal with 200 grain Shockwaves and Triple 7. My son now uses the Remington and he collected a 7 point buck and a doe just yesterday with it....
My new toy.....Excalibur Exomax 225 # crossbow....five shots and five deer this year including three bucks, two of which are a dandy 8 and great 10 pointer.
I also hunt with a Ruger SS Super Blackhawk, a beautifully refinished Marlin 336 in .35, and a Ruger 77R in .270....
