Practice estimating distance in 10 yard increments and you can come pretty close . Pace off a 10 yard distance and remember how many steps it takes . When you figure out what tree you will be in , pace off the distance to a couple of other trees , etc for reference . When a deer shows up , it will give you a general idea of how far it is ....... If you go the Rangefinder route , remember , it's the horizontal distance that counts .

I would like to have had a crossbow today . The deer were out 60 -80 yards when they were passing through the woods .
-
Congratulations on finding your deer . Some folks might have given up the search . I wonder if the doe may have fallen a few times and caused the angle of the arrow to change direction . ???

You nailed it !

Like someone mentioned earlier , take her to a bow shop where they have a tech that has been around for a while . He may have some advice on a bow that would be easier to draw back . Don't give up .It's really great that she is interested . Don't let her lose that !

My father in law got me into deer hunting in 1965 . It was shotgun only and you could only shoot a doe if you had a "party permit" and the guy with the armband was the only one allowed to shoot . He told me , "if you knock one down , get to it fast and put another slug in it's neck . You might just daze one and he''ll get up and run on you " ! It was good advice ! -
Not just $1000 . You usually end up buying a new sight , rest , quiver , stabilizer , different arrows , etc and they all add up !

I think that's where they inplant the Micro Chip so they can find the buck to shoot it ......... ??? ... ??? ... ???

My oldest son was shooting a compound and gave it up for a recurve . He wanted more of a challange . I believe he has at least 4 recurves and the Black Widow cost him something like $900 ( more than a compound ) . He also makes his own footed shafts and sells some on EBAY .

Way to go Fantail . Still waiting on my 1st of the year .........
-
Neat video !
-
Something to keep in mind is ..... your older bow is faster than a recurve and a lot of archers are taking deer with a recurve and stick bow .
-
I got pushed into a newer bow from peer pressure and then I won a bow by spending $30 in a raffle . If you are shooting it it it works well for you ,why change . I wouldn't mess with a new bow right now so you have plenty of time to research bows in the next few months . There are a lot of excellent bows on the market !

Some of those deer are tough ! Their will to survive is amazing .

Thanks for the information . I was under the impression that money to the DEC paid for bicycle and hiking trails . A couple of friends that almost live on their bikes made a remark about hunting and I said , "if it wasn't for hunters , you folks wouldn't have your bike trails" ! The husband didn't agree .

The John Wayne quote I always liked is " Life is hard . It's harder if you're stupid" ! ;D oops ! Sorry . I got off track also . I hope the man who wants to use a crossbow but can't finds a way to get out and hunt during gun season and scores !
