Umm.....recurve limb xbow, that is....hehe
after many seasons of die hard bowhunting without a blind for turkeys, I figured I'd break out the crossbow and punch a tag first, then I can go back to being continously frustrated.
He was putting a hurting on the DSD jake, and had 3 jakes watching the whole show!
After I shot him, the jakes messed with the decoys for 20 minutes....one of them tried very hard to have "relations" with my deception outdoors hen!
Anyways....just over 10" beard and just over 1" spurs.
Sinclair gaboon ebony brass got 'em fired up, and the ol yeller slate walked them right in.

Great bird Jeff. Did you get him today?
Nice bird! Were you able to find your arrow? I have been contemplating on taking mine.
Yes, and yes....
:icon_thumright:
Nice one, congrats!
:icon_thumright: I haven't been able to convince myself to carry it. Scared I will loose the arrow, bad enough using $5 shotgun shells.

Congrats
Good job on a nice Tom!

Congrats!!
Congrats! Beautiful bird and great pic!
Awesome story!! I've thought about using my Xbow for some turks, but haven't done it yet. What distance did you shoot him at? What broadheads do you use? Great pic too!! :icon_thumright:
Congrats!

Thanks.
I set the decoys around 20ish yds most of the time....without a blind, I don't want them right in my lap.
Shot this one at 22 yds.
I use a 125 gr wasp jak hammer....it has 1 3/4" cut, and destroys turkeys (and deer)
This is the 2nd for me with this set up, my daughter has shot 3 with it....all were dead in sight....hit them high in the wing, and they don't go anywhere.
The short primos shooting sticks are money well spent too!
Congrats!
Great job and congrats on the bird.
Awesome job. I have it on my bucket list to take a thunder chicken with my Excalibur. Congrats.
Congrats
