Just completed my bow blind for my 21st Street longbow. Wednesday the 1st starts our Gobbler season here in NY. I plan on hunting the ground blind I built on top of my hill the first day, but I wanted to complete the bow blind just in case I need it. Still haven't heard any gobbles yet this year, even though I know the birds are around and active.My trail camera has been snapping pics of hens and gobblers a mere 60 yrds. from my blind. I'm pumped up, practiced up, prepped up, and ready to hunt. Here are some pics of my bow blind made from electric fence wire, a bow attachment from an old Jerry Hill bow quiver, burlap camo material,and some cardboard.

Fifth and sixth shot from the bow blind. Two different weight arrows. One is a 50-55 spine with a 125 grn. Zwickey and the other is 55-60 spine with a 160 grn. Ace. Both of them shoot great.These were shot from one nee at 16 yds.

Good luck on Weds. Dave,I just finished a new longbow today that I hope to kill a turkey with in a few days. Keep us up to date on how the blind works.

Thanks Gerald, Like wise to you too my friend. Kill a nice one with that new bow of yours. Is it a laminate or a self bow? Pics, you know you have to show pics!

Thanks Jim and Charlie, best of luck to you guys, I'm waiting for your hunt stories also.

Charlie, I may spray it with something, but not sure it's needed as I never hunt in the rain. Maybe just to keep the moisture out of it.

Good luck with them. Looks like you have a promising season ahead of you.
