one thing that makes them easier with a bow is we can use open on impact heads... you put a 2 in hole in a gobbler they dont go far....

Turkey Time-2002
Written by Tom Brissee

I will plan on using at least one decoy, a hen, in my set-up. The decoy will hopefully hold the bird's attention so I can draw and shoot undetected. It will be set up facing my position with the idea that the gobbler will come around to face the decoy and break into full-strut. With it's tail feathers up in strut position, the bird will not be able to see behind it, giving me a chance to draw my bow. The suggested shots for turkeys are as follows:
1. If facing away from you, not in strut, shoot for the center of the bird's back.
2. If facing away from you, in strut, shoot for the center of the tail-feathers where they join the body.
3. If facing toward you, shoot about 1 inch above the point where the beard sticks out of the chest, whether the bird is strutting or not.
4. If broadside to you, not strutting, shoot for a spot which intersects the legs vertically and 1" above the beard horizontally, as is shot #3 above.
5. If broadside to you, bird in strut, shoot for just above shot #4's aim point.

Here's a good turkey broadhead, it has a bullet point for added shock.

I love the Gobbler guillotine by arrowdynamic solutions. Nothing says quick kill like decapitation. I also use the arrows that are recommended and you can get those through Cabala's. I have had nothing but great shots with it and no problems with the heads falling apart.
