from Rabid Hunters
 
I received this message from a customer that had me make him a set of
Animal Instinct strings and cables.just had to share this hunting story!
(A vivid storyteller)
 

Hey Travis!
You remember those pink strings I had you build up for my kid for our Martin Moabs? They got him his first
kill this year. No horns, but no happier kid on the face of the earth. If you can get that picture to open up, the strings are almost as shiny as his face! She came in on our ground blind, he took her at 23 yards in the driver's side with 2219 XX75 aluminium's; upon autopsy, blew a rib right in half upon entry, did a double lung whammy all the way through & a clean exit out the other side. Couldn't find the arrow in the snow & it was getting dark; she bailed off the side of a steep hill we were hunting off of. We wanted to let her sit a bit, but it started snowing, so we had to get tracking before it got covered up, but it wouldn't have mattered anyway, she was a done deal. We started to loose the blood trail in the snow where she decided to go straight down the steep part of the mountain, but by that time she was out of gas. Four of us looked for her for about a half hour with flashlights & found her piled up where there was no vehicle access other than pack her up the mountain that she came down from, so we dumped the innards to lighten the load & dragged her back up to the top of the mountain. All told she maybe went 140 yards under power sidehilling on the trail before she went straight down the hill and gravity helped more than we would have liked to the tune of 150 yards or so. He got tired of me wheezing like I wuz gonna die so he grabbed her and dragged her up the hill himself. Like a hero I took his heavy coat, flashlight and knife, a concerned father would never want to see his son fall and cut himself during a pack out, and I held the light for him so he could see the way up the hill. I was able to offer him lots of encouragement along the way, and I think it helped a lot because he was so thankful to be at the top when he finally got there. I even had a bottle of water waiting for him, he can never say his dad doesn't care.
I was able to dump an older doe also on the previous day; we were both together when we each took our animal, the first animal either of us have ever taken with a bow. It was a great time to be together & have our equipment perform like it needed to. Thanks to you for being a part of it all. In installing your strings, I don't know if it's supposed to work like it did all the time, but when i restrung his bow with your strings, it was as straightforward as it could be, string loop install, peep sight & serve it off, drop away rest cord install & serve, crank her down to attack weight & shoot. Strings line up perfectly with wheels & cams, no needing to twist string more or less like I've heard people talk about, we just put it on & drilled the target, and the deer.
Thanks again for a great set of strings from Rabid Hunters! Merry Christmas to you all!  Anthony
