First Longbow Turkey

I made the switch back to traditional recently after a 10 year layoff.  I also found out that I'm left eye dominate and I made the switch , which has greatly improved my consistancy.  I've learned alot from just reading everyone else's questions and answers here on the forum.  Thanks!

The rest of the story...  He came in to my decoys and I shot em' at 14 yards out of a DB with a Acadian Woods Bamboo Classic w/ Heritage 150's and a 2 blade Magnus.  He did run about 60 yards before he expired. When I found him there were two small jakes givin' him the business.
