Let's complete the trifecta, so to speak. As limited in scope as it is. I had 2216, 28 1/8" BOP with 145 gr screw-in points and 2215, 29 1/8"+ with 145 grain screw-in points. This first pic is of the 2216. Only shot two groups cause they were very stiff, but shot together, just left. 2215 were also stiff with this set-up, but were closer to were I was looking. Put about 3 dozen arrows down range and these pics are pretty consistent of the groups. As usual whisper quiet, no bow quiver and no string silencers. Bottom pic is a close-up of group. Need to get some tapered inserts for these arrows to glue-on points and heads, and use them up. Plenty of piggies running around Texas. She goes back in the tube Sunday.

And here we go!

Hope arrived safe and sound on 4-1-20. Through all this crazy stuff going on in the world I’m one of the lucky ones to still be working. We’ve been so busy I didn’t get to take her out until today.

I have never been a longbow guy. Ive always wanted to be. But everyone I have ever shot did not like me at all. UNTIL TODAY! This damn thing is a hammer!!!! Super light, no hand shock and quiet.

First group was with very under spined 400’s but still grouped well. After those 5 I grabbed some full length 340 GT trads that have 50gr inserts and 200gr points. A mix of feathers and vanes, all 4” 4 fletch. 10yards on all the groups so far. I’ll go out farther tomorrow.

She shoots like a dream! I’m going to continue to shoot all week. Saturday she will go to the woods in search of Tom.

Yep, I'm very impressed with these bows. Couldn't find a negative.

Nice shooting!...I'd say it likes you.

Thanks guys! I shot a little before work this morning.

This thing really is a dream to shoot.

Just sorry I didn’t get a chance to hunt with her.

Wudstix
Thanks for the time you spent with her! I’m sure she really enjoyed hanging out with you too!

Thanx tried as many arrow types as I had to get a good feel for her. She is a fast one.

I always love reading these threads. Looks like these bows are sure enough killers.

Been a bit since I’ve posted. We are slammed at work because of the virus garbage.

Anyway.........I have hunted many afternoons and all weekends. I have only had hens within range. But I’ll tell you guys and gals something...I have fallen back in love with stump shooting!

I’m going to try and keep my brain focused tomorrow. Going back to a spot where I had 1 gobbling on the limb Sunday morning. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🦃🦃

Wudstix · « **Reply #251 on:** April 21, 2020, 10:54:07 PM »

Focus and follow through.

JT Traditional Archery · « **Reply #252 on:** April 21, 2020, 10:58:20 PM »

Good luck hunting !
Thanks for keeping us updated

Broadheads only in my quiver so I don’t get sidetracked with stumps.

Roosted a good one I’ve been playing with for the last week tonight.
Hopefully the weather holds off long enough in the AM I can get him right after fly down. He’s in a PERFECT spot. I will be able to walk in the creek all the way to him. And he flew up ALONE!!

My biggest Osceola was with a bear grizzly in 2004. This guy will be my biggest eastern if I can get him within range. 🤞🏻

Good luck!!!!!

Shoot straight.

caleb7mm · « **Reply #256 on:** April 25, 2020, 09:11:59 PM »

I’ve had this bird within 60, 50, 40 yards. Roosted him just about every night. Another good ole college try tomorrow.

I’m on call next week and won’t be able to hunt. 👎🏻

Garrett Polk Please send me your address.

I came in from turkey hunting this morning and Faith had showed up and my first impressions are nothing but excellent! Shot a few arrows from it and it shoots where I'm looking. I've been turkey hunting with a 48# 58" recurve so the change to shooting Faith should go smoothly and hopefully can bag a bird with it. More to come.

JT Traditional Archery · « **Reply #259 on:** May 06, 2020, 05:01:11 PM »

Thank you guys very much for participating!
Good luck hunting Randy!
