Default Too close for turkey?

Im putting up the shotgun and going to committ to bow for the rest of the season. From this view, does itlook as if the decoys are too close to my blind?

This has been a prime landing area at sunrise. To the right is a large field, and to theleft is all hardwoods and a creek.

Do not follow where the path may lead...go instead where there is no path and blaze a trail!

I'd say anything inside of 15 yds is fine. Hell the guys I watch on TV put 'em at 5yds.

EDIT:

You're gonna want to face them AT your blind, though
