Blackhawk, I believe you really do not have to worry about getting your bow ready. I believe ya could have it laying there unstrung and arrows laying on the ground and it conceals ya so well from turkeys ya could string it up, nock and arrow and than shoot as long as ya have black on they will not see ya and that is when they are 10 yards away. Slayers ya could shoot a 70" LB out of this recurve model and hardly have to cant it. I can stand in this and have 3-4"s of head room and I am 5' 11"s tall.
