Deer

Took this nice 8-point with a Tanasi Warrior hybrid longbow. The bow is 43# @ 28". Used a Goldtip 3555 arrow with 190 grain Simmons broadhead. I hunted this deer for almost two weeks, having multiple encounters. The first encounter I had with him, he came running through a saddle I was hunting with two coyotes chasing him. 45 minutes later, I looked up and he was coming up a trail towards me. He appeared as though he was going to keep going up the trail and away from me. I grunted at him with my grunt call, and he stopped and walked directly toward me. I shot at him three times that morning and never touched him. I think I was looking only at his rack and not picking a spot. I saw him several times on the next few trips, but it all came together for me on November 26th of 2011.

Deer

8-point buck taken with a Tanasi Warrior hybrid longbow. The bow is 43# @ 28". Used a Goldtip 3555 arrow with 190 grain Simmons broadhead. I took this deer on an evening hunt. I hadn't seen anything until about an hour before dark when this buck walked up the trail toward me. He got within 10 yards of me and stopped behind a large white oak. He stood there for what seemed to be an eternity. When he stepped out, he was on the wrong side from me to take a shot at him from my tree saddle. He kept walking down the trail and on my right-hand side he stopped three times, looking straight up at me in my tree saddle. I don't think he could figure out what I was. I waited until he was completely behind me, and I swung around in my saddle and took the shot, which was an extreme quarting away shot. My arrow went in behind the last rib on his right side, and came out between his two front legs. He went about 40 yards up the ridge, stopped, started wobbling and went down.

Deer

8-point buck taken with a Tanasi Warrior hybrid longbow. The bow is 43# @ 28". Used a Goldtip 3555 arrow with 190 grain Simmons broadhead. This buck came by me early, chasing two does. I had a shot at 20 yards, but did not feel sure about taking it, so I passed on the shot. He came by two more times in the saddle that I was hunting, both times out of range for me. 30 minutes later, he came back, and started working a scrape I was set up on, giving me a 12 yard shot. Just goes to show you, you never know what they are going to do.

Deer

8-point buck taken with a Tanasi Warrior hybrid longbow. The bow is 43# @ 28". Used a Goldtip 3555 arrow with 190 grain Simmons broadhead. I had an extreme quartering away shot that I usually do not take, but this deer was so occupied, I couldn't resist. You can see the entrance wound, and the exit wound was in the middle of the chest. He went about 20 yards before he fell.

"I carried your bow all season and have yet to touch another. We had a fairly slow season but finally connected on this one on Dec 28th while celebrating my wife and I's 5 year wedding anniversary. I used a gold tip kinetic shaft and a 250gr simmons broadhead. The shot was 21 yards. He didn't go but 40 yards. I can't thank you enough for the bow and your friendship."

"Tanasi Warrior has struck again"

"I had been hunting where there were lots of acorns but hadn't seen any deer in a week. Yesterday I put my stand up in a pine tree in the middle of an ivy thicket. This morning I arrived at my stand before first light, a light breeze in my face, listening to a small stream trickling. Suddenly I hear a noise and see something brown coming toward me. There he was, the first buck I had seen in the woods. He stopped and raised his head, turned away, and turned back the way he came. I grunted and he turned and trotted back further into the ivy. At this point I thought I wouldn't have a shot, but suddenly I saw him sneaking around. I picked an open spot in the ivy; he walked out; I grunted again; he stopped; I drew my bow all in one smooth motion and shot. My luminok went out of sight; then the tracking began."
