Alright, people. Wood is good.. let's see all your kill pics of game that fell to a wooden shaft- cedar, spruce, fir.... whatever. If a wooden arrow killed it, we want to see it!!

HA! I will get this party started with some retro wood arrow kills of mine from between 10 and 20 year ago (except for the last one).. No wise cracks are needed about how young I was in some of these photos, lol. I shot wood for about 15 years solid and then started switching back and forth when the mood struck me. I still shoot them some every year. Wood is good. Love them things.

Yes that is me NOT shooting a Black Widow in that first photo. I wanted to say that I had taken a deer with every kind of bow and this unlucky 11 point ran into one of my arrows 20 years ago. I can't hit a house with one of those bent sticks...

This was the first Trad deer taken when I returned to Trad Archery. It was harvested with one of the first 66 inch, 60 lb, Hickory Board bows that I made, a 3Rivers Hunter Arrow, and a 2 blade Zwicky Eskimo. I forgot about the sweeeeet beard I was sporting! LOL. Took me till the second season to break the ice, I had plenty of opportunities, but little confidence.
