Title: What you hunting with this season?
Post by: 357MAGNOLE on February 12, 2016, 11:31:16 PM
I am working on finishing this 870 youth model. Turning out nicely, if it shoots as nice as it looks I will be ditching the 12 gauge.

There should be a Mathews Halon 7 pictured here, but I was told April the other day... I hope they were wrong!

The Benelli Supernova with Carlson's XR choke shooting 3.5" Longbeard XR #5's is my backup plan.

I'd love to shoot one with my E35, but figure I need to get a couple under my belt with a gun first.

Hunter1979-  I would say the same except im getting an Xpedition Xcentric, and most likely mine will be April also.  Might be my first year bowhunting turkeys.

Hey Kraig, must be something with us Michigan guys getting new bows to kill with this year!  I've heard lots of good things about the xpedition bows, but I've never shot one.  I'm hoping we both get our bows in for the birds. I'm going to use the Magnus Bullhead on the Victory 4 feather arrow.  Hoping the bow arrives ahead of schedule.

Going to try and tag one with my Xcentric. Then back to the trusty 870. (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160223/d79cd205ad277a3ea468c99ecf37e20b.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160223/46c5a47b27c4f244680e1816b53c0b2e.jpg)

That excentric looks just like an obsession evolution. Nice bow.

Thanks. You've seen one Kevin Strothers bow, then you've seen em all.
It's a shooter for sure tho.
Just realized this is not my team's thread.
These pics are classified!
Y'all have seen nothing! lol

I hope so man. That would be awesome.  I've never bow hunted them before.  Should be a challenge for sure.

How you like shooting your 10 gauge? I got the chance to shoot a friends single shot 10 gauge turkey gun last year and I was pleasantly surprised with the recoil. It was a lot less than what I expected. I mean it was definitely there, but didn't seem any worse than my 12 with 3.5" shells.

Love my 10ga got a rhino choke tube and nitro company shells,  28inch barrel. I got the the longer barrel to help with recoil  a little!!  But I love it and will carry it long as I'm able to..
