Danny Rowan makes pork chops in Texas!
"My 62",64#@28" Brack Quest, "Zebra". Thirty yard shot quartering
away and she was down in less than 20 yards, AD trad shaft with 300
extreme head did the job. I Love this bow!!!"

Lance Coleman, “Yer stupid bow broke my deer!!
Let me see if I can put this in perspective for ya. I got the bow at
4:15p.m. Friday afternoon. It took 14 shots and the rest, string,
brace height, silencers, nocking point and arrows were tuned true.
(I kept the brace a bit lower than Brack normal like you said to
Bill) I shot 5 more shots just for the pure joy of pinpoint accuracy
raising the shots off the bow to 19 shots.
I've not killed a deer opening day in 10yrs. And not killed a deer
opening MORNING in 12 yrs. So when the opportunity presented
itself?? I did not hesitate. The 20th arrow I ever launched from the
bow went slap through a deer.
Um. ya member how ya sent me this bow with no finish on it right??
Hey you got any idea how to get sweat and blood out of bare
unfinished wood?? 8^) Don't look at me it's the dang bows fault!”
Congrats on your first deer of 2009.

Congratulations to Colton Jaquay, 14, whom shot a fantastic 224 out of a possible 260 at
the 09
Cloverdale Traditional Nationals and won First Place. Colton shot in the Boys Recurve Class 13 to age 17.
Colton used a Brack Prototype to shoot his phenomenal score.

Brett Bracken, Shot
this 8 pt with my 72 lb Quest. It was a 19 yd shot using an Easton
Axis ST with a 190gr Grizzly El Grande BH (689 grs total). This guy
was pretty gassed when he came in and so he had a chance to jump the
string a bit which caused me to hit him back and in the spine. I
got full penetration through the spine and severed the arteries that
run down it. He went down on the spot!!!

Jason Bracken shot this nice Texas buck yesterday morning 11/16/08
with his 70 lb Custom Quest, Easton Axis ST's with Magnus I BH's.
Shot was 16 paces.......recovery was 60 paces. Temp 30 degrees.

Mike Hall
"Your bows do exactly what they're
supposed
to do. Thanks Bill"

Jesse Olson- "Shot this doe on the 11th of
October with the 62 inch 54# Quest (LOVE THAT BOW BY THE WAY!). She
came in with a couple of other does and gave me a 15 yard quartering
away shot. Took out both lungs and the top of the heart. I was using
Arrow Dynamic Trad Lites and a 145 grain Snuffer. She only made it
40 yards before going down. The most impressive thing I remember
about this particular deer was her reaction to the bow going
off....there wasn't one. Your bows are by far the quietest recurves
I have ever shot. Thanks for making such a great bow Bill !!!!"

Danny Rowan
Bill,
Thought you might like a pic of a Wild Boar I killed this past weekend in SC. Stalked in on him and his buddies while they were bedded and put an AD Trad through the near side ribs into the offside arm pit, got liver and heart. He did not go 25 yards. What a rush. This is one awesome bow!

Dalton Slain was shooting a Myrtle wood Brackenbury Quest 55# as 28"
Gold Tip shaft and I believe a Muzzy Broadhead. He made the arrow
himself.

Aaron Bracken took this fine Texas doe with a Quest. He shot her at
about 9 yds. after having to draw and hold on her for about 20
seconds. She only went about 15 yds. after being hit with a 150 gr.
Silver Flame tipped Axis arrow.
 Daniel Quevillon:
"Finally, I get a shot at our elusive rabbits. They don't stay in
one place very long but I did get this one. Again the Brack Quest
did its job !!! 8 yard shot under a bunch of willows. The Rothaar
Snuffer did its job once again."

Daniel Quevillon of the Northwest Territories Canada "Took a long
stalk on this young bear and made a nice approx. 24 yard quartering
away shot. Double lung hit, bear went down 30 yards. I was out
real early and set up on a high point overlooking two very large
cranberry patches. Didn't take long to see my bear come in. My
heart is still pounding, I love the Brack Quest, it shoots like a
dream and I can still see my arrow flying through the air, man was
that ever an awesome feeling. Only bad thing is I couldn't
find my arrow. There's heavy moss and it must be there
somewhere."
Daniel used a 60# Quest, Carbon Express Arrows and Silver Flame
heads.

James Cooper with his first hog. Taken with a Brack Quest, Vapor
Carbonwood, and a Woodsman head. 12 yard shot, 50 yard recovery
"with a blood trail Ray Charles could have followed". 
James Cooper tags a dandy buck this fall. James used a Quest, made a 5 yard shot and recovered his prize after tracking 60 yards. James used a Woodsman broadhead on
Vapor Carbonwood arrows.

Thomas Lutke snuck in to about 23 yards on his Alaskan spike bull moose and got a pass through with a Zwickey Eskimo on a Carbon Express Terminator shaft out of his
58# Quest. He trotted off into a thicket and never came back out. We gave him about 30 minutes and found him only 60 yards from the shot location. It was raining hard by that time, but my heart was light.
Mike and Bill Hart in Caramat Ont. Canada with Bill's P&Y black bear. Bill took this monster bruin on this trip with the "NEW" Non-Typical Longbow.

Dan and Ginger Brockman's trophies from a recent Africa trip. Dan with an outstanding impala and springbuck. He also took a wildebeest and a couple cow kudu.
Dan shot a Quest on this trip. Ginger, Dan's wife, even took a nice springbuck. She has a Brack, but used her compound to take a bigger buck than Dan.
Martin Archery has the Martin Girl, well we've got "Brack Girl"! Please welcome Miss Susan Pardue!

Brett Bracken, Quest Hunter
and Snuffer combo put this nice Texas Buck in the freezer. 
"Bill, This is my first traditional
harvest. I shot her at 15 yards with my 63# @29" Brackenbury Phantom bow and an Easton Legacy shaft with a 125-grain Magnus broadhead. I was hunting over out of Naches, WA. She walked right down a draw towards me and crossed and outcropping just above me. I drew as her head disappeared behind a bitterbrush bush, picked my spot, and released just as she stepped out from
the bush. I got her just behind the right shoulder. Definitely felt good. I still love my bow and enjoy shooting much more than I ever did my old
gadget-bow. Thanks, Derek Marks" 
Bill Bailey
of Oregon with a blacktail buck taken with a 62" Quest 62# @ 29", 125 grain Magnus Stinger on a 45-60 Carbon Express Terminator while stalking. 
"I
was able to get out and do a little hunting in December and early January. I shot this whitetail on the Logging Camp Ranch in North Dakota on December 29, 2004. A 25 yd shot, 40 yard recovery. I was shooting Easton Legacy 2216's with a G5 Shikote 170gr broadhead out of the Phantom series bow.
That bow sure works great for me! It shoots where I'm looking and has taken a variety of game in the year I've had it (about 10 whitetails, a black bear and a couple turkeys as well as a few squirrels and grouse). I've named the bow "Thumper" 'cause it thumps the game." Dan Brockman

Hi Bill,
Here is an Ontario black bear I just harvested,260 pds.8 yards shot, went 24 yards and piled-up. 58#@29" Drifter, Carbon Tech 45/70 shaft tipped with a 160gr 3 blade Snuffers, went through part of shoulder, through the heart and lungs. Awesome bow, accurate and deadly !!!!! Thanks!

Lance Coleman and John Pardue tag team on this big Georgia hog. This hog was so big and in such
heavy cover they thought it was a bear at first. 
Brett Bracken with a weekend worth of
venison. On these Texas critters Brett used Wensel Woodsman heads, Easton Axis shafts and a 57# Quest. 
Bill
- Here is a picture of my first traditional kill. He's not a big one, but he's a trophy in my book. Double lung shot, complete pass-through, shooting 2018 Legacy's with a 125-grain Stinger. 22 yard shot, he fell within sight, good blood trail 60 yards. Thanks for making such a sweet-shooting bow.

Brett Bracken, "Not a big one but
the only elk we saw all week. Shot was 11 yds slightly quartering
to me and walking. Recovery distance......approximately 50 yds (he
went down in less than 5 seconds). Was shooting my 72 lb Brack
Custom Quest and 690 gr Easton Axis ST 340 carbons tipped with
Grizzly El Grande BH's." Outstanding, Brett, nice looking young 2009
bull!

"Bill, Shot
this 11 pt last evening with my 72 lb Quest and a 190 gr. El
Grande. I am now officially a Grizzly convert. I
heart/lung shot this guy and he was down in less time it
took to lower my bow approximately 3 seconds." Brett Bracken

Jonathan Murphy, Thunder Bay Ontario
"Hey Bill, I rattled this 10 pointer in this
morning. I was using a 55# Quest, Heritage shafts and 150 grain
Magnus Stingers. I have thanked you before, but thanks again for
making a great bow and a perfect hunting companion."

"It was cold
and misty this morning, then it got worse by turning into rain a
half hour before daylight. A doe trotted by on the trail I was
hunting not long after it was light enough to see, but far too
quickly for a shot. I was standing and looking for more to follow
when about 15 minutes later I noticed movement on the same trail but
opposite direction. This guy came sauntering by at a steady walk,
so I drew on a spot on the trail and tried a voice grunt. He froze
in place and the arrow was through his chest in a heartbeat from 13
yards. The Brack strikes again." Congratulations Thomas Lutke!

Dan Brockman with his
Wisconsin
fall turkey shot from a Double Bull Blind using a 65# Brackenbury Phantom bow, Wensel Woodsman broadhead and Easton Epic FMJ shaft, 340 size. An 18 yard shot, the turkey only went about 20 yards.

Dan Brockman with a Muley shot in ND November '06 – a gnarly ol’ fellow with 7 points remaining on his right, 3 on the left – the rest were broken
off. A real fighter! I shot him with my 65 Brackenbury Phantom, Wensel Woodsmen broadheads and Easton Epic FMJ 340 shaft. A ten yard heart shot left a 150 yard long blood trail. I was hunting from a tree stand on the Logging Camp Ranch in western
North Dakota
.
Dan Brockman with a Shiras moose taken in Wyoming. Dan used a Wensel Woodsman broadhead and Cabelas Outfitter Series carbon arrow. I shot him 3 times, the arrows went through like a hot knife through butter. Hit him once in the lungs/top of heart, once quartering away just behind the diaphragm and out the opposite side about a
foot behind the shoulder, and once broadside through just behind the diaphragm. He only went about 150 yards.

Brett Bracken
goes to Colorado and enjoys success. "Shot the bull with my 67 lb
-62 inch Brack Custom Quest using 645 gr. Easton Axis ST's tipped
with Zwickey Eskimos. Shot him at 3 yds!!!"

Vincent Castellani took this hog in Feb. 2006 with a 55# 58" Quest, a CX 250 Heritage Shaft, and a 150 grain Magnus 4 blade Stinger.
Hi there Guys!
Well after lots of sweat and saving, living off bread and water! I finally went on my first hunt in my home country, South
Africa. Well it had been a very wet summer over there, we went to the
northern province to a specialized bow hunting farm. (no guns allowed) After sitting in hides and tree stands for 5 days and only seeing animals out of my bow range, I had a nice little doe Impala come in range so I took the shot...
She's not very big but, hey if you know how weary these animals are I think I did OK for my first hunt! First day out I had a big
Impala ram string jump me at 10 yards, seriously souped up animals in Africa!!
Definitely going later in the season next time when it's more dry and the animals are coming to water more often.
Just a note to say thanks for making me such a great bow and send you a photo of my first kill.
Thanks again for a great Tool!
Jason Stonier
PS: Used a Quest and 140 grain Magnus 2 blade on a Terminator carbon shaft weighing a total of 540 grains (PH says that's too light for anything big!!!)
Hello, Bill. I thought I would send you a picture of my latest kill. I took this 150# wild pig with my 64# Quest in the woods of northern Florida. I used a Carbonwood 4000 arrow tipped with a Bear Razorhead. The sow went about 70 yards and piled up. You build a great bow, Bill! I love mine!
Sincerely, Jim Keener

Bill, As promised, here is a picture of my first big game kill. I took her with a 64 pound at 28 1/2" Quest. The arrow was a Carbonwood 4000 tipped with a 160 grain STOS broadhead. I made a short stalk on the deer and shot her at about 23 yards.
She traveled less than 35 yards.
Thanks for making such a fine bow!
