I've still got it... although I play so much golf now that I've not done much bow hunting lately. It's a 1992 MACH-5X (machined aluminum riser) and Mongoose competition sight and MACH-FLITE overdraw.
Time goes by quickly. I purchased it in 1992. It was about the 4th or 5th bow I had up to that time but it will be my last as I still just love this equipment. Every once in a while I'll get it out and shoot at an archery range in a local park close to my house. I also used to shoot in some 3D tourneys with it but it really isn't designed for that purpose. It's great for hunting though!
The deer scored 173 typical and was taken in Southwest Iowa in the loess hills.

Nice set-up! And a beautiful buck with a score to match. Kewl |

You call that a bambi??? You might want to take another look at that pic, and if you still call that buck a bambi then you need your vision checked. ;) :D |

Fear not, there are plenty of deer left. In Iowa in the 1880's it was rare to see a deer. The population dropped so much that deer hunting was declared illegal in 1898. The population slowly returned and it was estimated there were 500-700 animals in Iowa in 1936. Hunting was opened up again in 1953. With all of the corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and hay crops... the deer do very well indeed. It is estimated that without hunting (the only major source of deer mortality in Iowa) the population densities in some areas would reach 100 or more animals per square mile! Rest assured that there are plenty of Bambi Dad's remaining. |
