Thanks for posting about your setups and thoughts on hunting turkeys with a bow. Although I do not claim to be an authority on turkeys with a bow, here are my views. Naturally, I think we should always turn our poundage down to get real comfortable drawing in an awkward position and sitting down and pulling slow. Plus, with a turkey you don’t need the speed or the energy for a kill.

Broadheads—in my opinion there are 2 setups for turkeys and there are pros and cons to each. Let's talk about the body shot. The body shot is the most common shot, mainly cause you are aiming at a bigger target and most folks these days are using expandables (which I endorse) but a lot of folks still use fixed and use an ader point or grass hopper behind the head to slow penetration. The con to the body shot is when aiming at the body and a turkey is so round and 3-D that is hard to line up on and determine where his small vitals are. A lot of birds will get lost this way.

Now shooting the head has some appeal. A lot of folks choose not to because the fear that it is too small to hit. But let's look at the pros: You have a highly visable target, and size wise it is the same size as his internal vital organs. And you either hit it and kill it or you have a clean miss. With these new style Guolitine Bheads, it makes for some great video which I am sure you agree.

Good luck on the turkeys
