Where do you aim?

[carpsniperg2]

With a shotgun I am mid neck in most shot situations. If they are in strut I just cover there head.

With bow I like to either cut there spine or bust them threw the top of the leg and through the hips. You break there hips and they can't push off to fly. Sometime you have to play a little chase

  Depends on how your shotgun patterns the shells your using. You may want to pattern check it on paper, the majority of ur load may miss ur aiming point by enough to surprise you! I find a shell my shotgun likes and then aim for mid neck. Aiming for head puts a good majority of bb's high......good luck

I've always aimed for where the feathers meet the neck.  Then when i miss i lead then according to how far  out they are once i get my next shell jacked in!

I've only killed two with the shotgun.  Both times shooting for the head.  My thought always was if they are further than I think I'm still good for a neck impact.

Bow is center back facing away or where the neck meets the head.  But I have been known to get excited and not wait

With my bow i only take head Shots.

Broadheads?

ive never shot a turkey but when i do its 40 yard head shots only.

My gun shoots pretty high so I'll usually aim for where the feathers meet the neck and they usually get hit mostly in the head/neck. I shot a little below where the neck starts once and it worked just fine.

I don't know that I really think about a specific spot when I shoot a turkey.  After you've shot a lot, it just seems kind of natural to raise the gun, put it on em and pull the trigger.  I would suggest that you set a target and shoot a lot from several different positions until it just kind of becomes a natural thing to raise the gun and shoot.  I've seen lots of young hunters (mostly on deer) get so caught up in getting the sight in exactly the right spot that the animal (bird) moved away before they got a shot off. I've seen a lot of very good range shooters who weren't worth a penny on live game.  Shooting a lot breeds a famililarity with your gun that can make you into more of a natural shooter and much more deadly on live game. I don't consider myself a great shot, but can honestly say I've never missed a turkey that was truly in killable range.

Get the tom to pop up his head to maximize your target area, and ain 1/2 way between the top of the head and where the neck comes out of the chest ---- the red waddles is a good aiming spot.

I just close my eyes and pump three times

How does your wife like that method? 

ya lets not

I always pattern my gun with a large sheet of cardboard. Draw a turk with his neck extended and find where the aim point is to hit the head and neck. Every gun is a bit different with all the different chokes & loads etc.. but you need to find where your aim point is at different yardages. That will tell you where to aim. Don't aim for this or that, aim for where you gun is going to hit the best. You want a head shot, if possible. As far as the wife goes, she wont let you go again if you bring back a bird full of shot and she bites into one. I Guess the word of the day is " Pattern "

I had a 40 yd shot with a shotgun on a turkey and took a head shot .  Killed it dead! Only opportunity I have ever had for turkey.
