Title: Turkeys are in trouble!
Post by: Skipmaster1 on April 15, 2010, 01:20:00 PM
I have been tuning arrows and adjusting my bow trying to get everything dialed in for turkeys. The last few days everything has fallen into place. i have been doing the majority of shooting at 15yds with some down to 3yds and out to 20yds. I am shooting a 175 grain VPA Terminator so I only shoot 1 arrow groups. Here is how I'm shooting at 15yds. So far the past few days the shots have been mostly in the 10 ring 15yds or under, 99% of any flyers are still in the 8ring. At 20yds there are not as many in the 10, but still inside a fist sized group.

Either way.......The turkeys are in trouble!

Good shooting Skipmaster1, and I hope the next "flyers" you shoot have feathers, gobble and strut! Post some non-foam turk pics when you get one, good luck.

Thats some mighty fine shooting Greg. Now go stick a live one with that Terminator, take a picture of it and we will stick it on the photo gallery at VPA.

Now if there was a way to interject some adrenalin into the equation and see how the shooting goes we'd have the whole picture! haha  Good shooting. Looks like you're dialed in...go get 'em!

Justifiable confidence is what will make the plan come together. Best of luck!

Greg,

I think you are "zoned".  BTW - did "someone" slightly miss and hit the head on that turkey?

The Terminators are by far the best 3 blade heads i have shot. i love the WW and the Snuffers but these sharpen quicker, stay sharper, seem stronger and are dead silent in flight. i can't wait to try them on some birds, deer and maybe elk.
Of course i need the birds to cooperate but i can hunt every morning from April 28th to may 31st and i have a few places all scouted out with some really nice toms. I didn't seem to get "bird fever" too bad last year and i'm shooting even better this year!

Jaime- It sure feels like I have sights on that thing! The key was to increase the head weight to get really good flight. even stading with my back to the target i can swing around as i'm drawing and get a shot into the kill zone 90% of the time...crazy

Hayslope- Last year i practiced shooting at the head with FP's to get ready for using Bullheads. I wasn't happy with them so i went back to using 3 blade COC's
