Where do you aim?
« on: March 25, 2015, 03:19:01 PM »
Just curious what others do? I personally aim for the gobblers head and have great success, tho I see on TV alot of shots are taken at the base of the neck. Just curious where others aim?

Right at the base of the beard (archery tackle)

For shotgunning, I'd probably go head.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

depends on distance. If close, head and if a little farther out I will shoot for mid neck.
