Great white hunter, Jason Eatman, being one sixteenth cherokee indian, put down his training wheels and hunted the way his ancestors hunted this evening. One shot, one kill was what his great great great great grandad used to say. Generations later, Chief Bubblin Brooke's words echoed throughout the hollows of Pickens County as the mystic flight of the arrow sizzled through the crisp autumn air. Shot was executed with minutes of shooting light left. Hummingbird longbow pulling 48 lbs at 28 inches. Easton 2117 arrows tipped with 135 grain Zwickey two blade head. Deer was filtering through pine plantation toward green field. I was 100 yards off the field. He had two dinky scrapes along the trail I was on. Arrow placement was good. Entered high in lungs exited on elbow on opposite side. Deer ran about 80 yards. Excellent trail. Terry Owens helped track and get deer out. Longbow was whisper quiet. I have now joined a select few that have experienced that mystical flight of the arrow. I had almost complete pass through. Found broke arrow about 15 yards down trail. Really one of my proudest moments in my long and distinguished archery career.
