Title: New turkey bow
Post by: Stone Knife on April 11, 2007, 07:16:00 PM
I have had this bow for about two weeks, i have been shooting it quite a lot trying to get use to it before turkey season begins. The bow is a Bob Lee hunter 46# @28" it's 54" long i feel it will make me a good ground hunting and blind bow heck it will be a good all around bow. The one pic is a four shot group i shot at 14 paces while sitting on the ground, i have been practicing shooting from awkward   positions ones that i feel i will encounter while turkey hunting. At first i was just going to hunt from a blind but then decided there will be times that making some moves will be good also.

Very nice bow, and the 54" length ought to be great for turkey hunting. I've got a new (to me), 54" Wing Thunderbird on the way that I plan on using as my turkey bow.

Oh yeah, good shooting. Gobbler Guillotine group for sure.

There's quite a few birds around here Jamie but not like they were 20 years ago but they seem to have leveled out. I like the first and last week of season. I saved some vac time for turkey hunting so i should have a blast. It's not how many bows you need it's how many you want, the person with the most bows wins   :bigsmyl:
