As many of you know, I was gifted with a Wes Wallace "Partner" recurve over the summer. It was sitting for a long time and had seen little in the field use. I restrung the bow, got a couple dozen hours and set up the back yard range. I practiced repeatedly, and became proficient to 20 yards from the ground and from the tree. I made the commitment to go recurve only for the early season. I've had the bow out several times this season hunting as much as my schedule and a back injury allow. I was out yesterday p.m., and today for an evening sit.
The Wes Wallace looks good hanging from the tree:

Had a two does come in last night, but never got a shot. They took a trail other than what I anticipated, and instead of walking passed me at 18 yards, they turned and walked head on straight to me never presenting a shot. At 8 yards they winded me and my hunt was over.
Changed stands tonight and got out at 4:15 and was up the tree and settled in. By 5:00 p.m. I had two does working their way to me. I had these deer on cam and recognized them as the tagged deer. Here's a cam pic of the older doe.

I stood, readied myself, and when the older doe stepped into the clearing a let her fly. a 21 yard shot. It was all in super slow motion, and I distinctly heard a "thwunk" when the arrow burried itself on the fatal hit. She only went 25 yards.
Here's the result:

To the best of my knowledge, this Wes Wallace recurve just had its Cherry POPPED!!!
