    Cross bow gobbler

    This guy came by about 7 with 4 friends. Still sitting tight hoping a deer will come through.

    Nice job. Haven't heard turkeys here in awhile. I do have coyote I am going to get though.

    It is a pure killing machine. Worth every penny. Scary accurate. It gives up nothing to a gun for the type of hunting and the terrain l hunt in.

    sweet!

    it's been awhile since turkey have come by the blind.
    it'd be nice to see one while i'm sitting.

    i'm impressed with my crossbow as well but it's not in the same class as yours.

    my shots from the permanent blind are 30 yards at the absolute max so i'm good with it.

    good luck with the deer!

    Good shot and good eating! I love to hunt wild turkeys and to me they are so much tastier than domestics.

    Excellent shooting a d eating, I'm going to hunt with the Tornado till it gives out. I hated to see Parker go out as I only lived 45 min from the factory. They fixed anything on those bows while you waited in the lobby for free .My cams got out of time once so they put a whole new front on it limbs and all . A buddy at work has a Raven with a Go Pro mounted on it . That was a cool video of him wacking a doe with it . It sounded very quiet.

    Good morning and Congratulations !!!
    I like the look of your hunting spot ! Everything is still green !
    What is the distance from your blind to those cluckers ?

    The ones in the pics are from 10 to 30 yards. The tree line in the pics is a lasered 40 yards. The one I got was quartering to at 30 yards. Shot was from left wing butt to back of right leg. Going to hit it hard this weekend for deer. Very little sign yet.

    A good friend in Danville he & his brother use similar cross bows mainly for fun out in the back section of their ex-airport At 100 yards they can hit tennis balls with what they call good bolts. 50 yards with any bolt they hit the same. Looks like a rocket slicing through the air.
    May God give you a bunch of car wreckers.
