Getting The New Gear Ready To Go
Mar 26 -Montana
Decoy - If these turkey decoys moved
you'd shoot 'em!
 
Montana Decoys look realistic
and fold up small and compact for easy carrying.
These decoys look like Longbeards
Gobblers, hens and jakes. Exactly like 'em! The 3 decoys I received from
4x4 Grand Slammer sponsor Montana Decoy are made from a tough, polyester
fabric. An actual picture image is printed on both sides of the decoy.
The printing process gives the decoys a 3D look, too. To give you an idea
of how realistic these decoys are I made the picture above into a Larger
Picture and also a even larger Wallpaper sized picture -- so
you can see how good they look. DECOY

Mar 18 - Sighting
& Practicing In For Turkey
 . 
(L) Double
Bull blind in my front yard, (M) Inside the blind looking
at the target
(R) My make shift turkey
target and a good group
At 31 1/4 inches t. The BowTech
Justice is a shorter bow than I've shot before. I wondered if it would
be rough to shoot -- instead it is very smooth to draw and nice (as in
quick and smooth) when I release the arrow. I lined the pins on the Timberline
Archery Power Glo up with the bowstring and my arrows were dead on
vertically from the first shot. My arrows hit high so I moved the pin upward
in increments until it was on. My new release, a Carter Two Shot
wrist strap release, worked perfectly without any adjustments.
Then I set up the Double
Bull blind in my
front yard next to my practice tripod, put a folding chair in it, and
got down to shooting through a shooting
window. To practice for turkeys I cut a piece of cardboard 12" high
and 5 " wide and tapered the top half -- a homemade turkey target. Then
I used a marker to make a 2" circle to shoot at. A couple of fine adjustments
to the bowsight and I was shooting strong (turkey
target pic). Now I will practice with this new rig every day
so I'll be used to it when the hunt begins next weekend.
Mar 17 - Bow Setup
Today I took my new bow
gear from the Grand Slammer sponsors to Peacock
Archery to have Roger Peacock set everything up right. So far I
had resisted carbon arrows but I admit the Easton Epic carbon arrows
look great and the BowTech Justice shoots them faster than any arrow
I've ever shot. So I'm happy with them The pins on the Timberline Power
Glo bowsight are really bright -- an definite asset inside the Double
Bull blinds we will hunt from. The Fine-Line bowquiver and Peep
Sight finish the bow off nicely. The big hole in the peep is a good thing.
I can not wait for this hunt to start.
