That sure will work! If you would want to change something. I would go with a mechanical head. I personally like the NAP spitfire gobbler getters. But your setup will gitrdone.

The other recommendation I have is turn your bow down a little. It is a little better for turkey for a couple reasons. It is better for the arrow not to pass completely through, also you can pull it back with much less movement to catch his eye.

Forget the mechanicals, shoot the broadhead that flies the best from your set/up!
As stated by some of the other postings, lower the poundage.
I shoot a 2 blade 125 grain @ 52 lbs & it works for me, now if I can stop the gun hunters from stalking my decoy spreads. I use 2/3 motion decoys sometimes, usualy by late season the birds are decoy shy...

It sounds like you'll have a great turkey rig. I would also suggest as others have, that you choose a large cutting mech like a Rocket Hammerhead. I've found that the larger cutting mechs do a tremendous job of putting a super tough Gobbler down for the count! Best of luck to ya, Turkey huntin' with a bow is honestly one of my favs!
