Awesome looking animal,great way to take him down...not many of us on here can say they have did that! I was lucky enough to have a draw many years ago near the southern border on these animals...they were hard to get into decent rifle range let alone with a bow...good job,my hat is off to you sir!

Thanks for the comments. Antelope is my favorite animal. 5th time out with a bow. Got one with a compound '93 and my first one with a recurve in '04. They are a rush to hunt. My partner was my son it was a great day
