String tracker

[Tegr0429]

Anyone have any experience with a string tracker? I’m thinking about running one this year for turkeys. If you have any experience, did it affect arrow flight, or how loud was it? What model tracker do you recommend?

Man, The last time I saw those was 30+ years ago.

They used to be popular. I've never used them but hunted with a guy that used them back in the day. As I recall it's a lot like Carp shooting where the line helps stabilize the arrow and doesn't affect it much on very short shots but its terrible on longer shots.

I’ve seen a few guys who use them for turkeys due to the lack of blood that’s typical after a turkey is hit.

Yep I use to use them back in the 80’s & 90’s. They never affected my arrow flight. I think most folks now days use a big 2” or bigger mechanical on turkeys.

Yeah I used big expandable when I shot a compound. With a trad bow it’s fixed blades only.
