I built this bow back in early summer but because of health problems I have not been able to shoot it. Here is a link to the bow thread I did on it.

   http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=125;t=006659  

It's been driving me nuts not being able to shoot it but finaly everything worked out and what a pleasure it has been to shoot. I found what broadheads she liked and been practicing alot.

I took her out last night for the first time and had a big old buck chasing a doe go by at 40yds and then a bunch of turkeys go by about the same distance a little while later. I heard the turkeys roost up the ridge about 200yds away and the forcast said extreme wind tomorrow morning so I knew I would be back in this little valley to get out of the wind.

Man, The weather man was right and a hour after daylight the turkeys flew down and were having a party over there. I could hear them clucking and fighting and even a couple gobbles, There was a couple strutters in the group too.

   

A group of six broke away from the big group and started my way. I was hunting with a buck decoy this morning, It worked out great a couple evenings ago with does and bucks checking it out just nothing I wanted to shoot.

   

 The turkeys locked on to him and came right by my treestand watching him the whole time, They offered a 15yd almost broadside shot. My arrow flew true on the second bird and it was down in 20yds.

Nice bird Tracy!  Congrats on the bird, and in getting completely back in the saddle.  I know that has to feel great to you!

Thanks guys! and there's a link below the first pick that has a bunch of picks of the bow and why I made it. It's a all natural Osage and Bamboo bow like John Schulz used to make.
