I built this bow back in early summer but because of health problems I have not been able to shoot it. Here is a link to the bow thread I did on it.

It's been driving me nuts not being able to shoot it but finaly everything worked out and what a pleasure it has been to shoot. I found what broadheads she liked and been practicing alot.
I took her out last night for the first time and had a big old buck chasing a doe go by at 40yds and then a bunch of turkeys go by about the same distance a little while later. I heard the turkeys roost up the ridge about 200yds away and the forcast said extreme wind tomorrow morning so I knew I would be back in this little valley to get out of the wind.
Man, The weather man was right and a hour after daylight the turkeys flew down and were having a party over there. I could hear them clucking and fighting and even a couple gobbles, There was a couple strutters in the group too.

A group of six broke away from the big group and started my way. I was hunting with a buck decoy this morning, It worked out great a couple evenings ago with does and bucks checking it out just nothing I wanted to shoot.

The turkeys locked on to him and came right by my treestand watching him the whole time, They offered a 15yd almost broadside shot. My arrow flew true on the second bird and it was down in 20yds.

Tracy congrats again my friend. Thank you for the pic today. It put this new lefty bowhunter in a good mood. You have overcome so much man. Now how about a turkey killin' lesson for your pal :)
Super Tracy! Glad you got a bird!
Hey Tracy, that is simply wonderful! That is one of my all time favorite bows, absolutely beautiful. Glad you got a chance to get out and hunt with her. Good luck on the deer!
Thanks everybody! :D
There's just something special about taking a animal with a bow you made yourself.
Mike, I just get lucky every once in a while and find one that runs into one of my arrows. ;)
Stan, This bow is a shooter and one of the quietest bows I've shot. Looks like Mr Lamb put some Mojo on her while he had it. :thumbsup:
I got some great feathers and a nice tail to fix up and of course the fine meat. I will be working up the feathers soon for some Doug Fir arrows.
