That is awesome. I've always wanted to get one that's 1.75. I've never even seen a set that big.

Stony I sure would have thought that bird was bigger when I saw the hooks.

Don't get me wrong. 1.5s are great bit I thought they was bigger.

several with 1 1/4". Not saying I've killing a ton of birds, but enough that I should have killed at least one or two in the 1 3/8" range. Birds in Jackson Co. just don't keep spurs like in other areas.

For me it was the second gobbler I ever called in on a solo hunt. 1-9/16 on one side and 1-5/8 on the other. I hope to get another like this someday.

I like those. In love how thin they are. Like needles.

He still talks about that shell you loaded for him. He keeps the hull in his room.

Ask old slingshot what happened to his best set. Some sorry sob stole them out of his toolbox.


It isn't necessary to see a good tackle...you can hear it.
