Title: Primaltech Turkey
Post by: GCook on May 03, 2020, 02:10:45 AM
Bloodied the new Primaltech Saturday.  Wish it could've happened sooner bu a torn rotator cuff has had me sidelined.  I was sitting for a pig but they weren't cooperating.  Friday night some came in but too late for a shot and stayed in the brush. 
I had heard the turkeys gobbling early and when it was apparent the pigs had stood me up I let out a few yelps and got a gobble off west of me.  A few clucks and purrs and I got two gobbles so I shut up and let them work in. The other bid was bigger but I took the one that gave me a shot first.  I swear he was broadside when I was releasing but he turned and and as he ran off I thought I'd seen the last of him and my arrow.  But I gave him some time and he was down in some brush about a hundred yards away.  I don't particularly enjoy cleaning or eating turkeys but I can't seem to pass one with a single string bow in my hand.  Not much of a beard but decent spurs.

Good to see someone is getting out and enjoying life. I am kind of envious, but in a good way.😁( Recuperating from knee surgery.)

Randy makes a great recurve.  Right now I'm on his list for a set of longbow limbs that will match the recurve limbs and be interchangeable on the riser.
Can't wait to try them.

Ha! I am waiting for him to match up a set of recurve limbs with my longbow.

I think if anyone tries one of his bows they'd find they have gotten to shoot one of the finest made.
I know often bowyers are hits in their home state or are but honestly Randy builds a bow better than any I've shot.

Nice job. I didn't know Primaltech made recurves.

I didn't start offering them to customers until last fall. After about 4 years of RD and slowly tweaking the design to my satisfaction I finally reached a design I am very very pleased with. It's a little Faster than the longbow, just as quiet, just as shock free, and has a very smooth draw cycle on top of utilizing the same riser! Now you can interchange limbs and keep the same riser!

Thx for the kind words everyone!
Congrats again Gary!
