The new (to me)  Browning Cobra I, an excellent 50" bow, great for in the blind.

I've only got out one day so far.  Didn't hear any gobbles but I was able to sneak up on 6-8 toms and dispatch one with a 12guage bow.  :)   I've got Hope for two weeks and Friday/Saturday off so I'll be chasing them hard with a bow.
