I'll give that a try Brad! I'll make a batch in the 70-75# range, heavier hardwood. I know some weight would do it good.

I agree. I'd definitely be sacrificing accuracy with 68# if I had to hold it for very long.

Oh yeah, forgot the blind question. My setup the last couple years has treated me really good. I sit next to a large shrub, tree, or other form of cover.. Camo..  No blind.. One hen decoy and one jake decoy about 15 yards from me. I listen to the turkeys and match my call intensity to their interest. Last year two gobblers almost walked right across my legs! I coulda reached out and touched them. Had to sit till they were right next to the decoys to get the shot. What a rush.

Guess that's where a blind would be nice.. You've got concealment to draw. I just don't like messing with them lol.

I have a hen and a Jake this year,, I added a strutting decoy,, I have never tried that, but it won't take long to see if it works or not,, the birds in texas are not as hard hunted as in some areas of the country,, not as call shy,,  I have not hunted  much with a decoy set up,, so I look forward to trying that some,,, and hope it gives me a chance to shoot close,,, the older I get,, the closer I like to shoot :)

  I use the same bow for BUCKS AND GOBBLERS. 

Get a ghillie and learn to set up with your back to the on coming gobbler.

Forget about setting up where you'll get that good footage like your shot gun hunting.

is it hard to learn to shoot with a ghillie suite,, seems like alot of leaves to get hung on the string and such,, I would like to try one,
