The turkey bow

[kennym]

Here ya go Roy, now ya know it really happened...    :D  

This is a 58" forward handle sl/bow 51#@28"built for using in my blind( I really dislike being in a blind but I ain't killin turkeys outside of one), was gonna do flat black after the dyed curly maple didn't look like I wanted .

Then I thought "what if I want to hunt out of the blind some??? "  So added some branches and a few leaves....

 

 

 

 

 

Now to finetune some arras and shoot it !!

Nice Kenny.. Love the cool designer glasses too...  

[Wolftrail]

Cool looking finish.  That is sure a pronounced deflex on that bow and the full draw looks fully loaded.

[fujimo]

not sure i understand your title- is it a bow for turkeys - to shoot turkeys or to be shot at by turkeys-
cheers
Roy...

[fujimo]

very cool bow, love the forward riser- do you have any pics of the stained lam before painting-
wayne

Looks cool Kenny!Just don't lay it down in the woods and forget where you left it!

[takefive]

Nicely done Kenny!!! Love the riser design!

[kennym]

Thanks Roy, I do look good,eh?  

Wolfie, I think that's about all she will do!

Fuji, it is a turkey bow, made,shot and shot at by turkeys. LOL No pics of stained lams, let me say 50/50 black and dark brown rit makes DARK.Which was OK for a blind bow, but the riser was c maple too and I couldn't take the way it stained or the aboo in limb edges.

Scott, I shoulda cut back on the taper rate like we talked I think. Went with .003 total and the profile ain't quite what I wanted to see. Next time.....

Greg- I can mail you a pattern and what I have in this one for stack, etc. I'm gonna change the next one so not sure how that will work out!

Thanks Justin !

Kenny, I think the bow looks great!!  And as you know I love short bows.

How does it compare to your normal 64" bows? It will be easier to handle it that blind.

Where you gonna put that blind?  I know where I would put it.

[Roy from Pa]

I guess ya look ok..  Looks like yer packen some heat there too.. Ya skeered of a rabbit tacken yer arse?  

[kennym]

You tell me where you would put the blind and I'll tell you how it compares!!

Seriously it is just about same speed and being shorter don't seem to bother my shooting. Oh, just ordered one o them srf sights too, need good shot placement for turks and I need all the help I can get. Fred Bear I aint!  

[monterey]

Not so sure your taper is off.  That looks like a great no stack string angle.

I'm not a forward handle fan, but that one looks nice.  

I have two bows with finish by Krylon and for the same reason.  

[David Flanrey]

#1 choice would be where ever you took that pic with all those turkeys.

#2 choice would be in the little hidden field on the south farm where we tracked my buck.  I have watched them roost in those tall trees on the creek there many many times.

[kennym]

#1 is over the ridge west in the creek bottom, can't go there..

I was thinking in that field or across the ditch north.

[bjansen]

Great profile Kenny. I Really like how that one opens up.

[kennym]

Lots of rabbits Roy, ya never know and I usually have sumpin close by!

Mike, I was kind of wanting a little stiffer tip and a bit more bend midlimb but I sure can't complain how she shoots.

Thanks Brad! You are getting closer to MO, gonna make MOJAM?

[Trux Turning]

Great looking bow Kenny! Good luck with the turkeys.

[chackworth3]

Cool looking bow there Kenny!  Looks like it will smoke an arrow. How long is your riser in that one?
