Seven years for me too! First archery turkey!
« on: May 04, 2014, 11:29:00 PM »


Not all of those years were with trad gear but over half were. Helped to draw a good tag too. Took it with my Bear 76'er that's exact same as the one I had in my teens! Think I'm more pleased with it than I was with my first archery deer I shot in 2012! Draw weight is probably around fifty pounds at my draw length, it has a little bit of twist in the lower limbs and I had to use my wife's arrows with an extra hundred grains up front to make em fly right but it worked great once I quit trying to use the string tracker. Season just opened yesterday so was short but wife still needs to fill her tag so I'll get to go some more and do the callin and haulin for her;^)

I evidently suck at hero shots, have to chalk it up to inexperience I guess!
