I just got these today. WOW, is all I can say. Birds; look out this spring. Your days are over of hanging up and not liking the crappy decoys that the stores offer and everybody and their brother is using on a very small population of very educated toms in Central IA. The company informed me through email earlier this spring, that they are going to be offering another pose or poses for us too this upcoming season.

I got lucky and traded a used Double Bull Matrix that I bought for $200 for the pair. A pair, with shipping new, will run you $300. They are pricey, but when I think about the gas and time I spend bow hunting them hard each spring trying to fill one or two tags on what seem to be each year, smarter birds...well they aren't out of line. The quality and durabilty is 2nd to none. These are solid and not a soft or collapsible decoy. They each come with a high quality stake and their own quality carry bag. Here is their website.

Nice...pricey but really nice. There are so many birds around here that my pretty boy and girl work great. If I was really into turkey hunting with my spending habits I would already have a pair of those for sure.
