Default New BW test drive

I received a new 74# SAIII Monday. I built some Heritage 300's with 3 grain per inch weight tubes that combined with 170 grain Zephyer broad heads flew great and really thumped my targets. Saturday evening. Brandon (Bullrdr82) came up from Katy to try for a Hog and flirt with my niece. Just before dark a group of 2 big and 8 or 10 football pigs came in a dead run. This was my first hunt with Sticks and Limbs camo and the hogs seemed to pay me no attention as I fiddled with the camera and picked up my bow. As if she had read the script the biggest sow of the bunch turned quartering away right in the middle of the camera screen. Leaning out, the bow came back smooth as glass. I felt the broad head digging into my finger telling me I was at full draw. Holding for a few seconds to really bare down on a light spot tight behind her front leg I let the string slip away and was very pleased with the solid thump as the arrow buried to the feathers. One of the biggest thrills of the trip was when Whitney took my light and worked out the blood trail on her own. The look on her face when she almost stepped on the hog was priceless and one of the things that keep me looking for kids to take to the woods.

Nice. Good to see that my bow's replacement is doing it's job!

Yes, the look on Whit's face was priceless..... leave it to the rookie to show up two experience trackers!!! :shock: All in all it was a good time.

Thanks again Marty, for taking the time to take us out. I will definately have to get up the again soon, not only to see Whitney again, but to get revenge on the pigs!!!

Thanks agian!!

Buff that is some fine shooting there! Congrats on another great hog. The only thing I would say about the video is to add a little of the tracking and the happy faces at the end. Great stuff all the way around.
