Title: Lisa shoots another turkey... Questions answered on page 2
Post by: OkKeith on November 14, 2010, 10:33:00 PM

Well... no deer for us this weekend, but Lisa did get her fall turkey. An eighteen pound, 2 year old bird. Not her biggest by any means but I'm betting it will be tasty!

I'll gladly take a turkey when deer hunting and it looks like Lisa is too. But alas, all I've been shooting at are squirrels. What kinda bow and set-up was used? Good job....Phil

Thanks for all the good words and yes, as someone said, I AM a lucky guy!

Lisa is out of town (alas, someone needs a steady job) so I will post answers to all ya'll's questions for her.

As far as what sub-species of bird, we think they are Rio/ Eastern hybrids. Too light to be pure Easterns, too buff colored for pure Rios. We sometimes see birds that are more representative of the pure strains as well.

She was shooting her 1968 Red Wing Hunter. It is 45lbs at 28". Her draw length is 26" so she's actually pulling about 40lbs. She shoots a Gold Tip 3555 with a 100 grain Magnus Stinger broadhead. Normally for spring turkeys she has the bleeders installed, but for deer removes them.

She shot the bird at about 12 yards and the arrow passed almost all the way through and hung-up at the fletches (three, four inch parabolic feathers).

The broadhead entered just above the left drumstick and exited below and forward of the right wing joint. She made a dandy shot and it only went 20 yards or so. It did jump and fly but crashed into a hickory tree and splatted to the ground.

This is her second turkey-bird with her recurve. She shot a whopper this last spring (looked more like a pure Rio)! I included that picture below.
