Title: Longbow Blind done for May 1st
Post by: Knawbone on April 28, 2013, 12:28:00 PM
Just completed my bow blind for my 21st Street longbow. Wednesday the 1st starts our Gobbler season here in NY. I plan on hunting the ground blind I built on top of my hill the first day, but I wanted to complete the bow blind just in case I need it. Still haven't heard any gobbles yet this year, even though I know the birds are around and active.My trail camera has been snapping pics of hens and gobblers a mere 60 yrds. from my blind. I'm pumped up, practiced up, prepped up, and ready to hunt. Here are some pics of my bow blind made from electric fence wire, a bow attachment from an old Jerry Hill bow quiver, burlap camo material,and some cardboard.

Fifth and sixth shot from the bow blind. Two different weight arrows. One is a 50-55 spine with a 125 grn. Zwickey and the other is 55-60 spine with a 160 grn. Ace. Both of them shoot great.These were shot from  one nee at 16 yds.

Thanks Jim and Charlie, best of luck to you guys, I'm waiting for your hunt stories also.

Charlie, I may spray it with something, but not sure it's needed as I never hunt in the rain. Maybe just to keep the moisture out of it.
