Turkey with my uncle's bow (pics of broadhead added)
« on: May 30, 2010, 03:58:00 PM »
Well, I was really hoping to get the RFA Phoenix in before I shot a turkey this year, but our season ends Monday and when I checked UPS tracking info the heads are supposed to be here Tuesday...  :(  

So, I loaded up some of the 150 grain prototypes on a Wal-Mart carbon arrow and got it flying right out of a #45 Bear Kodiak Hunter Recurve.  The bow is very special to me because it was my uncle's.  He bought it new a loooong time ago.  When my parents visited him a couple of summers ago and mentioned that I was into shooting traditional bows, he insisted that they bring it home to me as he is in his 70's and no longer hunts.

Well, this morning before church I headed out to a little honey hole that I have permission to hunt on and when the first bird walked by the blind at about 12 yards I cut loose.  The shot was a little low, right through the top of the thigh.  The arrow zipped right through and actually stuck in a tree behind it.

My daughter took this pic.
