Here is an eight point I shot in 2016 Winter Bow after boiling and bleaching. I put electric tape on bases to protect them from peroxide.

Each of my twin 12yr old twin boys have there own Mission Craze, it has a wide adjustment range and they can hunt with it when they are ready.

Same here, grew up close to Newtown Creek between Brooklyn and Queens. We got a HUGE block of foam the size of a car from a factory near by. We hollowed it out like a dugout canoe and it floated very well with 5 of us in it when we put it in a large construction pond so we decided to launch it in the East River between Manhattan and Queens across from the U N building. This river is notorious for its wicked currents. Well as we were putting in a Police boat pulled up at top speed and asked us what we were doing. Someone saw us and must have called. We said "oh nothing just hanging out". Then they asked if that boat was ours and course we said no. So they said then I guess you guys won't mind if we take it with us right? We all looked at each other and sheepishly said guess not and away it went.

Looks real nice.
To keep it from splitting apart perhaps you could glue a a thin sheet metal ( or something similar ) to the back, even if it does split it won't fall apart.

I'll tie a bigger nock on bottom then a small one on top before tying my D loop.

It's important to have a reliable place to take your bow in for service, if your happy, satisfied and can bring it back there for a retune then it's money well spent. Winners Choice makes a fine string.

Send him my way, dang pigeons are pooping all over my window sill.

I don't know about that guy in video's form, his forearm was at an upward angle which is not proper form. It should be horizontal and in line with the arrow, just look at any olympic archer's form.
-
I've had some great strings made from asking over on Archerytalk, there are more than 3 top string makers thats for sure, I've had good luck with all five or six I've tried including Twisted Archer, Winners Choice, Extreme Bowstrings and 60X to name a few.
-
I know if I tried that in my small area that even if it did start to grow the deer would hit so hard that it would never get a chance to grow very well.

I'm going out in the AM to look for Limpy. She will get an arrow if she wanders by.

Congrats on killing a deer and getting 24" of snow cleared to snap the pics!
Ha Ha, snow fell the week before, you did not read the first sentence correctly. Plus that's not my driveway. LOL

Poor doe had a right front broken leg and was getting around but leg was flopping about 3/4 way down. I am going back out a few more times and will try to take her out if I can, deer are a tough animal and I've seen several different three legged deer in woods. Come to think about it most, if not all, had a right front leg issue... strange.
My bow is a 2012 Elite Pure 55-65lbs 31.5"DL shooting Black Eagle Rampage arrows tipped with ole' school Muzzy 100gr fixed.

Year was 1987 with a 30-30 Winchester model 90 with iron sights, shot a doe then a buck 3 seconds later that was following the doe. Never hunted with a gun again and shot over 50 deer with my bow since.

With the Winter Bow season open till Feb 20th and 24" of snow that fell the week befor I headed to my stand hoping for a nice doe for the freezer. A group of deer came by from several trails and I spotted a good size doe limping into one of my shooting lanes, I drew back and just as I was about to shoot I noticed this buck trotting in on the same trail, so I held my draw while aiming on the same spot and when he was in my sight I let fly my arrow. It was a double lung and he ran 80 yards spaying blood on both sides of the trail in the snow, stopped and tipped over. When I got there it looked like someone threw a bucket of red paint on the snow. I am truly blessed and look forward to sharing this bounty with friends and family.

Come on now thats not heavy!! I am shooting a 175grn tigershark head with a 100 grn brass insert on 32" Gold Tip trads. LOL it like throwing a telephone pole down range!! It sure does quite the bow down though!!
I will always go heavier with my arrows, always have had better penetration with weight than speed!
They work though,
The Broadhead sliced the rib clean off! Two blade fixed head and was still shaving sharp when I took it out of the deer.
WOW that is heavy.
Quiet? yours must be like putting on a silencer!!
-
Yes wildcat, that's the article I was directed to as well.
If you really want to see some gross Botfly stuff just do a Youtube search for botflies in deer, mice, rabbits AND humans.
The video on Roe deer with a very common nasal infestation was incredible, the guy was doing a Euro and pulled out at least a dozen. Seems in female as well as male deer they like to go into the nasal cavity .
-
Nope, just a 1/4" or so, I will put something in there and clean them out once I'm finished with the DIY Euro mount I'm trying. So far so good, well good enough to hang in the shed anyway.

I originally thought the flies laid eggs on the velvet antler and then they worked their way inside but I was corrected by someone on another forum.
They are way cool no mater.
-
Shot this deer this year and did some research on the holes I found. Turns out they are made by Bot Flies which are inside the deer and work their way into the antler during the velvet stage because of greater blood flow and I suspect an easy exit once larvae hatch. When they do hatch they leave holes which are very cool looking.

It is truly all about shot placement, put the broadhead through the lower third of both lungs and that deer is down in seconds spraying a red trail as they go. I tried Spitfires and when placed properly they were great, but on a straight down shot it bounced off. I tuned my bow to shoot fixed Muzzy and can't be happier, after 25yrs of shooting Thunderheads I switched to a head that's very similar but I bought much cheaper.

internet cop? nah, I just get a kick out of people who post silly stuff because they don't know any better....
Look in the mirror and get a kick out of yourself then. It's obvious what kind of head it is ... unless you don't know any better.
-
Here is the result of a heavy arrow/broadhead combination. It's a 125gr Thunderhead screwed into a 50gr brass insert glued to a 32" Axis arrow. Snapped the bone like angel hair pasta.
Perfect results with a less then perfect shot. That's what I like about heavy arrows and fixed heads.

New bow - Opening the can of worms
in Bow Hunting

Not sure what you mean by haywire, you need to get used to using a release. The rest is just shooting a bow and getting used to it. The big differences would be holding at the end of draw cycle and finding a comfortable release as there are a few different types like thumb or trigger. I'm sure your local bow dealer can help you out, don't get all worried, just relax and enjoy it... try to have fun.
