Arriving at my hunting spot, I traced my way through the inky predawn blackness toward a duo of outspoken gobblers. The piece of public dirt I was hunting offered two clearings in the middle of huge timber country, and I suspected that, come dawn, the two toms would utilize these “strut zones” to seduce any nearby hens with their vibrant feathers. I placed a hen decoy at the edge of the first clearing and began calling intently.

Whether you talk with them about the company’s exceptionally high-performance sights, their commitment to improving the experience for archers and bowhunters, their interest in supporting the industry as a whole or their incredibly bright future, it won’t be long before you’ll find yourself—no matter how happy you are with your own job—wanting to be a part of what’s happening at Axcel.

Turkey hunting with a bow is a real challenge, and one I’ve enjoyed for many years. I have taken 25 wild turkey grand slams, many of those with a bow. This is truly one of my most favorite times of the year. To me, there are three key elements to successful spring turkey hunting: scouting, decoys and blinds. Equipment and shot placement are also important, but if you don’t pay attention to these three elements, the others won’t matter because you won’t be releasing many arrows.  Featured Articles 2012-03-26T17:19:34+00:00 http://www.bowhuntamerica.com/index.php/articles/article/2012-pse-dream-season-evo/ http://www.bowhuntamerica.com/index.php/articles/article/2012-pse-dream-season-evo/#When:14:49:25Z Videos 2012-03-26T14:49:25+00:00 http://www.bowhuntamerica.com/index.php/articles/article/double-barrel-arrow-loader/ http://www.bowhuntamerica.com/index.php/articles/article/double-barrel-arrow-loader/#When:14:41:22Z Videos 2012-03-26T14:41:22+00:00 http://www.bowhuntamerica.com/index.php/articles/article/jon-and-pete-shepley-of-pse-archery/ http://www.bowhuntamerica.com/index.php/articles/article/jon-and-pete-shepley-of-pse-archery/#When:20:58:02Z If there’s one thing that our late editor, Bill Krenz, taught me in terms of writing, it’s the importance of using free association to hone an idea. The industry personnel we profile in  our Inside  Archery cover stories are fascinating people to listen to, and finding the thread of a story that does them justice can be a challenge. So after I’ve listened to the interviews, I sit down and brainstorm words that seem to fit the interview subject.

I’m not sure if someone at Hoyt heard a voice about building an irresistible bow, but for the past three years they’ve been building it, and archers have come in droves.
