Matt Sneed of McCool, MS took this 7 point buckbuck and below is his own account of his bowhunting experience.

This was my first bow kill.After six years and several misses it finally happened on october 4th 2007 in Attala county Mississippi at around 6:30pm I made a good quartering shot on this little seven point.The shot was about 15 to 18 yards away. I was shooting a Blackwidow recurve 57 pounds @ 30inches with a easton axis 300 arrow. The broadhead was a 150 grain wensel woodsman. I got a complete pass through before the deer even knew what happened. He ran about 50 yards from where I shot him. I guess all the 3-d shooting finally paid off.

Congratulations Matt on your 1st whitetail bow kill and thanks for sharing it with our bowhunting community.
