    Bow kill or bow recovery?

    I was 22, 7 years into bowhunting(finger shooter, instinctive then cheap sight). The last 20 however there may be 2 that I haven't taken a deer with a bow.

    17 (31 now), second season, second shot I had taken...doe at 22 yards, Hoyt Raider round wheel beginner bow...around 56 pounds draw, XX75 2114 Eastons's, Gold Tip 2 blade expandables, complete pass through - she ran about 50 yards, thought I saw her go down. Went to get my buddy I dropped off down the road, and 3 other buddies showed up who were quail hunting all helped me retrieve...D@amn I was proud bringing bringing that one home! I still remember hearing that sound of arrow hitting home...
