The Turner crew is finally in the new crib. I've spent the last week moving furniture and praying that I get to sleep in my new house soon. And it finally happened. Though we still have plenty of unpacking and other stuff to do, we're in! And my indoor range is ready to go, so there will be some blogging about that in the future.
Thanks for all the feedback on the Monster Bucks shoot. We think we have a great idea in mind that everyone will love. So stay tuned!
The shoot is taking place this Saturday, so I'll fill you in on some behind-the-scenes footage next week.
Yours in archery,

Hey guys-
We will be filming the archery segment for the new Monster Bucks soon. I want to get your opinion on the funky shots you'd like to see on the new DVD. If you haven't seen any of the past Monster Bucks, make sure you buy this one. It has three bucks over 200 inches.
The new one is on the way! So let us know what you want to see!

We are getting close to turkey season folks. And every year more and more folks are chasing birds with bows. To me, I think it is one of the hardest things to do (kill a turkey with a bow ) maybe because of my size when I go to draw my bow it looks like the whole woods comes alive. Kind of Predator-the-movie like. LOL!!!
Many of you are already aware of some of the new innovations in turkey hunting, but let’s talk about some of the hot stuff. One of the hottest things in the last few years is the pop up blind, in my opinion it is the single biggest reason for more turkeys' death by bow than any other invention. For some reason turkeys don’t mind them, but the con to it is it cuts down on the running and gunning. You have to get the turkey to you. But then we have the full strut decoy, like the Primos B-Mobile, and gobblers can’t stand it. They have to check it out.
Now let's discuss the broadheads in which we will whack the turkeys. One of the neatest broadheads out for turkeys is the Guillotine. With 2 models available, one in 2.5-inch cut and the other 4-inch cut, it is meant to aim for the head and lop it off (makes for great video). The con is it does not fly super well so you need to keep the shots close. Another popular route to go is a very large expandable, say 2-inch cut, to hit the small vitals of the animal. Now for the guys shooting the fixed blades, you should maybe put the grasshopper or adder points behind the head to slow penetration and keep the arrow in the turkey.
It's an exciting time to be in the woods. Oh yeah, another thing, try backing your bow down 8 to 10 pounds so it is easier to handle in cramped quarters.
Come see all of us at the NWTF National Convention in Atlanta Feb. 22-25.
