Muzzy MX-4 Success - Pics
I was initially planning on holding out this year till a good buck presented himself, but the new Trykon was itching for some use.
I got in my stand around 4:30 this afternoon. I forgot my cell phone in my pickup (I don't have a watch so this is the only way I can tell time), and I'd imagine I was there for a half hour or so when I heard movement in the cattails northeast of my stand. Pretty soon a doe came towards my stand with 2 fawns playing around her. They were eating leafs off a tree about 16 yards from my stand (no shot opportunity due to trees), and for some reason they decided not to go down the trail that would put them about 12 yards from my stand, and they started back into the slough. I got turned around on my stand and I had about a 6" hole to shoot thru. The doe decided it was time to take a #2 and I pulled on her. I figured the shot was 35-40 yards and I had my 30yard pin high on her and the 40 yard pin about 5" up from her brisket and I let it fly. Arrow hit true and she fell over after about 5 yards and then got up an went about 65-70 yards and expired. The Muzzy MX-4s did a wonderful job, best blood trail from a fixed head that I have ever seen (rivaled the XP Pro Spitfires). She was a very large doe, I'm guessing 180-200lbs almost. When I went to where she was standing when I shot, I lasered my treestand and it was 42 yards. Trykon did its job! Now, I just need a buck to come within range....

RE: Muzzy MX-4 Success - Pics
Thanks fellas!
Yeah it is a Vital Bow Gear sight. I'm not sure if I like it or not. The top pin is a .29" and the other pins are .19" in low light the top pin makes it impossible to shoot with my 30 and 40 yard pin.
Here is a pic of the sight. 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 yard pins.
