The old, slow, and wide Phoenix

Post by flinthead »

Is back to its old tricks again this year...

Image

Killed this 95lb doe this evening at 20 yards. The Muzzy Shank crushed the shoulder facing me, hit the off shoulder and stopped... she made it 40 yards and crashed. Fried cube steak, rice and gravy will be going down shortly... :eusa-dance:

I see you're using the Muzzy Shank, what happened to the Green Swhackers? :eusa-think:

Hope you enjoyed the meal. I'm sure it was mighty tasty!! :thumbup:

Are you telling us you don't need a 500fps, $4000.00 crossbow to kill a deer? Lol

Congrats on a fine kill!
A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.
