Congratulations!

Good deal! Congrats!    :clapper:  

I just heard from Bill, and my Instincts will be on the way soon! I asked for EXTRA Mojo, so who knows, maybe I can be the first person in Oklahoma to make meat with one...   :pray:      :archer2:

Great job Mike on a fine bird. Looks like a great broadhead, the proof is in the picture. How are they to sharpen?
Title: Re: Spring Turkey 2014 Pictorial
Post by: Mike Gerardi on April 23, 2014, 07:46:00 AM
Hitman those heads came hand ground by Bill. He did a great job and they were easy to get razor sharp. Just a little file touch up and finished with a jewel stick.

Cade get after them buddy. Looking forward to hearing about your Turkey hunts.


Pat I hope you get a shot at that dandy Tom you have running your place.

Very nice bird! Is that a dark horse blind?
Title: Re: Spring Turkey 2014 Pictorial
Post by: Mike Gerardi on April 24, 2014, 05:57:00 AM
Thanks Fritz. The blind I was in that morning was a Double Bull Double Wide.

You like it? I got a couple of different blinds I hunted out of in KS this yr. Not happy with the way the wind flaps the windows around. Been looking at the double bull dark horse or whatever their calling it now. I got a little 56" tmag for my blind bow so I guess I wouldn't have a problem with blind height. Thanks for your thoughts.

Thanks for the congrats everyone.

Fritz I had some issues with the hubs on the new extra wide double bull. Primos took car of the problem and I have not had any more issues. However on another extra wide double bull blind I have the window hook on one side broke. Those are the only issues I have ever had with Double Bull blinds. The extra wide blind is very roomy. I shoot a 60 in recurve out of it with no trouble.

Thanks Mike. I keep reading about quality issues with the new double bulls. May wait awhile and see if things get better.
